I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the other day. It was an extremely fun movie. I love the worlds Tim Burton creates. There's always just something a little off about them. The music helped create that atmosphere as well. The songs after each kid was taken away were really cool. I may have to get that album also. I thought Depp did a great job with the crazy portrayel of WW. My family and I were laughing almost the entire movie. The kid who plays Charlie was solid too. We recently watched Finding Neverland which both Depp and the Charlie kid were in. Overall a very fun movie. I found myself rarely thinking about the original as I was watching. If you are not a big fan of Depp or you are a psycho fan of the original, you might not like this one. Other than that, I can't see how anyone couldn't enjoy this movie. But then again, I'm from Holland. Isn't that weird?
