I recently returned from an advanced screening of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". To sum it up, it was a good movie. Tim Burton's unique quirkey twist on Roald Dahl's classic novel with Johnny Depp's acting skills thrown in the mix to make it a sweet (pun intended) movie-going experince.

Tim Burton has always been a favorite director of mine and this zany flick confirms it. The characters are still true to the novel, but after being "Burtonized" they are more relevant to modern day life and you can see these characters existing in the world.

(Mild Spoilers)
The film would be nothing without it's leading actor, Johnny Depp. His performance (Which my dad described as "Mr. Rogers on acid") showed a man who all believed to be a genius, but inside he was an insecure child who could only be happy by surrounding himself with candy.

Full of flashbacks, special effects andmusical numbers, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a fun movie. Go see it in theatres.

Johnny Depp > Gene Wilder?

The depends. Gene Wilder plays the classic "100% genius" Wonka very well. He's enough of a kid to know what they want, but he's enough of an adult to get things done. Johnny Depp played a version where he looks like that, but really he's a kid inside and he conceals that throughout most of the movie.

Okay, I saw the movie Friday night and I loved it!!!! Depp was >>>>>>> then Wilder, as a kid having read the books and loved both of them!] , I was not a big fan of Willy Wonka, I may have seenthe Original 2 times in my life, but I plan on watching it again, then going to see Depp/Burton again [A big up to Danny Elfman with the music]

I remember Gene Wilder being a creepy S.O.B.... Depp was creepy also, but he was Michael Jackson creepy, and since I'm an adult male and my youngest male child is 13, I felt safe [No, I would not letthe 13 year old go to Neverland!!!!]

All in All Charlie was very good and betterthan Willy Wonka!

I just hope they do the second book..... Charlie and the great Glass Elevator!!!
Although if memory serves correct, it was weird...entertaining...but weird...

I don't think they can do the sequel. With the way they ended the movie, I don't think they can do GGE.
