Depp never fails to amaze me Truthfully, every time I go to the theatre to watch a Depp movie I become amazed at his performance. The way he changes for each character is something that I admire completely. Though not all of the movies are a hit his performance always makes it worth it.
Upon watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" I again was shocked. His mannerisms as Willy Wonka are tremendous. From even the smallest twitch I was laughing. The long far off gazes gave his character the depth that it deserved. True, he did in a way "steal the show". Yet, at the same time, it showed why the connection of him and Charlie was there.
One of my favorite scenes from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was not in this movie (the psycho boat seen). Yet, I didn't care, because I knew going in that this movie was going to be different and new with just the same characters that I new and loved. I loved the puns and comedic entries. The factory was brilliantly illustrated, showing the many magical rooms and routes gives the notice that anything is possible.
I feel that adults, as I am 25, and children alike will love this move. Of coarse as long as they don't go in thinking this is a remake of some movie and compare it the whole time. You have to go in to the movie and realize it is Different upon sitting in your seat at the theatre and be aware that it is a new movie of which you have never seen before.
As with any movie what do you learn from the story....Well in this you learn that: Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, Family is so important, and to believe in yourself.
I really think everyone should see this movie.
