Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) - Movie Review


"Charlie Bucket, a boy from an impoverished family under the shadow of a giant chocolate factory, wins a candy bar contest and is given a tour, along with four other children, of the amazing factory run by the eccentric Willy Wonka and his staff of Oompa-Loompas."

Well, I just came home from the movie with my wife. I always like watching
(Willy Wonka) Johnny Depp's movie. Edward's scissorhands... Pirates from the Carribean... just simply wonderful.

But in this movie, he seemed to remind me of Jim Carrey. If you do not know who is Jim Carrey, he acted as
'Count Olaf' in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events! Or maybe you will best remember him as the 'Joker' in 'Batman Returns'.

Johnny takes Willy Wonka's odd behavior one step further though, creating a truly
eccentric character that definitely steals the show.
Anyone tends to disagree? Why?

The part that my wife and I dislike the most are those '
Oompa-Loompas' singing and dancing away in the show. Boring...There are not many high or low in the movie. Still prefer just to read the book.

I like the child actor (
FREDDIE HIGHMORE) though who acts as Charlie Bucket, I think he is a natural actor.

It is the same as the book.in fact,u can buy the book cheaper than going to the cinema and watch the movie.But according to your comments,the movie is nice,(or not so nice,due to yuan feng)so if you want it cheaper,buy the book(you can read it anytime,anywhere)
.If we wana watch the movie (only once,unless u pay again)it is quite nice,but i prefer the book.
