Awesome flick!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2005)

This was an awesome film! Although the overall feel was sorta "fake" and creepy, it was still a family film. Maybe the little ones might not like it so much (under 5 years old) but it's still very whimsical. As can be seen, there ARE errors in the film, but so minor that it does not affect the viewing at all.
In comparison to the original film, this version is a lot funnier. Because of Tim Burton's influence, the aura of this film is just plain strange. There are minor differences from the original, such as how Charlie ends up finding the ticket, all of Willy Wonka's flashbacks, and seeing all the other children leave the factory in the end. These all add other dimensions to the characters, and I enjoyed them.
9 out of 10, cuz it was a little creepy ;)
