Starring:
Johnny Depp, Freddy Highmore
Directed by:
Tim Burton
***1/2 Stars
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a brilliant achievement in imaginative filmmaking. Johnny Depp as the great Willy Wonka is one of the best performances I've seen all year. He brings his usual but brilliant presence on screen (that weird and funny creature) like Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.
You know the story. It is about one boy named Charlie Bucket (another great performance by Highmore), who wins one of five golden tickets. These tickets allow him and four other children to enter the great chocolate factory owned by Willy Wonka. The factory has been closed for years and now these children will enter the wonderful world of Willy Wonka.
This is Tim Burton's best film, with more imagination than any of his other films. When we meet the famous Oompa-Loompa's, all are played by one man (Deep Roy). This alone is flat out hilarious. The movie has heart, laughs, a story, and a wonderful cast lead by the great Johnny Depp. It's hard not to love a film like this.
