A movie that you will want to see

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2007)

Burton and Depp; it's like a marriage that won't fail. Take them in Edward Scissorhands, Corps Bride, and now The Chocolate Factory. It's bound to be a lovely movie.
I must say, the beginning is a bit too slow to my taste. It takes quite a while before the kids get into the factory, which is where the real adventures start. The message inside of the story, being that you should be good and not greedy, is one that belongs to the fabulous Roald Dahl who is one of my favorite writers of all time. And he's right! Don't spoil kids too much.
Apart from that, even if you don't want to know about the message while watching, I'd say that Johnny Depp will indulge you. Once again, he proves how fantastic his skills are. Even if you hate the guy, still, watch it! The visuals are breathtaking and take you back to those days when you were reading the book and made up your pictures of the inside of the factory. This all makes it so sweet that you will want to squeak with joy every now and then.
Without any doubt not just a kid's movie, with lots of funny things and adult jokes. Like what happens to you if you eat chocolate and how people respond to that. Or if you eat each other. Etc. Etc. Please, go and see this movie and enjoy it. I know you will.
9 out of 10!
