Last night I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my husband, two younger sisters, and my step-mom (not my father's wife-yes, there is a difference). It was a really well-done, visually stunning movie. I don't like chocolate, yet immediately after seeing this movie, I wanted some.
Tim Burton directed it, and it has all the hallmarks of a Burton film-quirky humor and dialogue mixed with a slightly dark take on the seemingly sweet and charming. The oompa-loompa songs were hysterical, and the Wonka factory was amazing. I can't imagine another actor in the role of Willy Wonka than Johnny Depp, either. He was fantastic, weird, and wonderful, and made the movie what it was. The original is a classic, and Gene Wilder was also a great Wonka, but I think even the purists who loved the movie from the 70s will find something to enjoy in this one.
