Tim Burton+ Johnny Depp= always fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2005)

Simply put: beautiful work by two of our world's best cinematic talents. Don't expect the "first" movie (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...not even the same title). It is entirely different and new, and if you approach it that way, you will see it for the beauty it is. Tim Burton has a fantastic imagination and Johnny Depp is so versatile. Every movie they have ever done together is a masterpiece, and this is no exception. Supporting cast is also amazing, especially the parents in this one! This one is also a great movie if you're looking for a great escape. Try it definitely, but opt for a time when there is likely to be less talky-talky kids around (i.e. the late show).
