A film for the weird... FINALLY!

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2005)

If you are one of those people who are wonderfully weird in every way then this is the movie for you. It is much brighter, more colourful and more weird than the first version and I agree with the Dahl family that Roald would have preferred this to the first version. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is more true to the Willy Wonka in the book than Gene Wilder's and still manages to look sexy while at the same time a bit creepy. I liked Tim Burton's modernisation of Mike Teavee that instead of watching t.v he's playing video games, a small change but effective. The oompa loompa are funny and their songs are very catchy. A great film, the best I've seen in ages!
