Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Tim Burton's remake of the 70's film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a must see film for all ages! With Johnny Depp playing Willy Wonka, the film has a funny, but dark side to it, this time being set more on the story in Roald Dahl's book.

Johnny Depp plays the character perfectly, portraying the childish, yet intelligent character of Willy Wonka from the book. The film, like the 70's version, is also a musical, but this time, only the Oompa Loompas sing telling the stories of the children, as they disappear one by one. The best song in my opinion is the Augustus Gloop song, the very first one that is sung. It has a great rhythm and the words are wonderful. The graphics in this film are spectacular, bringing the whole chocolate factory to life with color and magic. All in all, this is great film to go and see with the family, the only aspect of the film that puts it down is the smallness of the Oompa Loompas.

10/10!
