A wonderful family movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2005)

No, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" does not have the "magical touch" as did the first version "Willy Wonka" did, and doesn't have the classical songs that everyone still hums along to today. The oompa loompas are quite scary looking and Willy Wonka has an eerie smile. But that's the only bad part of this movie. "CATCF" is still a very great movie... Much more modern and still amazing, and definitely worth watching. Willy Wonka's plot of an unselfish child to inherit the chocolate factory is much more known and makes more sense than in the original... This "reimagining" makes more sense than the original all together. The chocolate, all the better and more delicious looking, also (of course I had to say that, everyone only wants to see this movie because of the chocolate). Tim Burton did a wonderful job in creating this movie and Johnny Depp was great in acting it. It has humor, mystery, an interesting soundtrack, attractive dialogue and beautiful scenery. You can never tire of this movie-- adults and kids alike. Children will enjoy the sarcastic attitudes of the 5 chosen children and the humor of Willy Wonka, and adults will love the lines you can recognize from the older movie. And everyone will love all the chocolate.
