Charlie and The Chocolate Factory....
I read the book not so long ago. I loved the first movie as a kid; but after reading the book I was shocked how much the book blew the old movie away. So, when I found out about this new movie and it was going to follow the book more closely, I was very happy.
Tim Burton lived up to the task and much more. The casting was great, the acting was great, and the musical parts that are in the film.... two big thumbs up. Deep Roy was great as all of the Umpa Loompa's.
Danny Elfman has done it again with another wonderful score. His music only added to the film.
The only thing I was weary about, was the subplot of Wonka's father; but in the end it really added to the movie. The movie seemed shorter than it was; but I take that as a sign of a good movie.
I was so entertained; that time flew by. That hasn't happened since the last good movie that I got to see called Batman: Begins.
My rating: Five Everlasting Gobstoppers ( out of five )
