Tim Burton & Johnny Depp, need I say more?

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2005)

Tim Burton did quite a lovely job with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I have to say, I think it was much better than "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." This one stuck more to the book, not completely though. Then again, have you ever seen a movie sticking 100% to the book they're based off of? The movie had me quite pleased. The cast was great fitting for each of their roles, the children were perfect for their parts, and acted out exactly how they were supposed to. Johnny Depp's performance as Willy Wonka impressed me. He was very cute, witty, funny, and dorky in a way. He really made the character of Willy Wonka come to life. It was quite different from any of his earlier roles. The movie was hilarious, it had many witty remarks. The Oompa Loompas are.. interesting to watch and are funny in their own way. Willy Wonka's sarcasm is sure to get at least a few laughs from you.This movie had the whole theater laughing. It's a movie that everyone would enjoy, no matter what age. This movie was entertaining and humorous. In addition, they have many references to other movies, which might be fun to try and catch while watching the movie. Well, what else can you expect from Tim Burton(gifted director who has made some of my favorite movies) and Johnny Depp(a talented/lovely actor) All in all, this might have been the best movie so far this year.
