"Chocolate Delight"
5 stars"

A good Entertaining Movie For Kids And Adults alike, Johnny Depp's Rendition of the Eccentric Willy Wonka is Convincing and the Graphics and Special effects are a Delight to the Eye, The Original Movie was a Good base for this Film And What the Original Lacked this one made up for in its technological advances, a Great Party Pleaser for when the kids are consuming their treats.

Description

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The fabulous story of Charlie and Willy Wonka based on the bestselling book.

Acclaimed director Tim Burton brings his vividly imaginative style to the beloved Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, about eccentric candy-maker Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka’s extra­ordinary factory.

Long isolated from his own family, Wonka launches a worldwide contest to select an heir to his candy empire. Five lucky children, including Charlie, draw Golden Tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the legendary candy-making facility that no outsider has seen in 15 years. Dazzled by one amazing sight after another, Charlie is drawn into Wonka’s fantastic world in this astonishing and enduring story.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Finally a worthy, excellent remake. " -Sandra Hall
  • " If anything cramps Depp, and the film's sense of fun, it is the weight that is placed on reconciliation between Wonka and his father. " – Ryan Gilbey
  • " Marrying extreme set design and sublime casting… Burton's film showcases his usual interest in gothic effects and the original Willy Wonka's psyche­delia. " – Felicia Feaster
