Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2005)

Well there is not much to say. If Johnny Depp does not get an Oscar now they don't need to keep giving them. He is amazing. The movie was really funny and it matters not that it is made for children. I loved it.
Willy Wonker is played perfectly by Johnny Depp and he alone would be worth watching the move for. But there are many other brilliant people joining him. We saw him as the little serious Peter in Finding Neverland but here as Charlie he is truly great. I hope we get to see more of the two of them together. But not in a Charlie and the chocolate factory 2. That would ruin the gem the movie is on its own.
Grandpa is also a gem. One time I did find myself thinking: OK that is not funny. But I guess there has to be times where kids laugh as well as times where adults do.
