A little weird, but you'll love it...

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2005)

In my opinion, Charlie and the Chocolate was the best thing that has ever happened in the filming industry, for children.
A lot of people seem to think this movie is a remake, it isn't they are two totally different movies.
This movie is more true to the book than the previous version of the book-to-movie (adaption) film.
This movie will be a little scary for young children. The things Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp)is semi-sweet, and a little nuts, and that's the truth. He's not as evil as he looks when the kids get into mischief.
Charlie (Freddie Highmore) has a kind heart, and is a very noble young man. But he never gets what he wants.
The Oompa Loompas (Deep Roy) are better for certain people, the music was fantastic, they were all different, exploring the personalities of the children.
If you liked, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, you'll love this.
This movie does have a twist at the end, Wonka's background makes him sort of, a freak, let's just say he has a few issues.
This is what makes the movie fun to watch for people such as myself.
The Special Effects and the music, were the main essence of the movie, everything that happened to the children was kind of Overall, the main fact is, if you like a sort of, wacky (but not too wacky) story, you'll love it.
But if you hate childish films, you'll hate it.
