Negative Positive
Title: Good movie
Review: What this film has going for it is an amazing display of great effects and visually stimulating scenery and some wry and sarcastic lines from Depp. While Gene Wilder's Wonka was a character that was strange but loveable, Depp's is well just strange. The oompah loompahs do get more speaking parts and sing actual lyrics from the actual book which coming from Dahl are naturally very cute and funny with just an aspect of the bizarre. What the film lacks is that emotional charge that made the audience sympathetic to Charlie - of course the title is a misnomer - this film is all about Wonka. While this film is a completely different film from the original it is still worth seeing. I will say that I like the original better but this is an interesting take on the same story.
