Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (DVD, 2005, Full Frame)

I loved this movie! Of course, it had a lot to live up to but Tim Burton put a new spin on it and made it his own. Rather than just re-making the same movie, Burton added to the storyline, giving the viewer more insight into Willy Wonka himself and answering some questions that we had from the original.

Johnny Depp, like always, did a superb job. I have to admit I didn’t know how I felt about his take on Wonka from the previews, but he really pulled it off. He was funny and twisted, yet very relatable.

While I loved the extended story, I did not care as much for the oompa loompas; nor did I care for the lack of songs during the rest of the film. That aside, re-making such a great movie was a hard feat and I think Tim Burton did a great job at it.
