Hats off to Tim Burton

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2005)

I went to the first showing of this film yesterday, and I have to admit, I was in no way disappointed! Burton has most certainly done an excellent job in remaking this classic, giving it a more modern flare. His slightly creepy humor gives this movie the impeccable taste that was so appeasing in Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow.
Jonny Depp does an excellent performance as the slightly demented, but lovable, Willy Wonka. He proves, once again, that he is able to take any role, and portray it with the ease, and believability that many people crave for in movies in this day and age.
The children discovered for this movie were perfect. They all had wonderful personalities, and never left the viewer board. The boy casted for Charlie was WONDERFUL. He was the absolute perfect part! All in all, I believe Tim Burton has done it again, another wonderful movie with many laughs, and a good lesson too. I'm ready to add it to my DVD collection, as soon as it comes out!
