Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Entertaining candy-comedy in a factory of fantasy. 2005. Director: Tim Burton.
Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) is a very poor boy living in a ramshackle little house near Willy Wonka's (Johnny Depp) huge factory of candy and chocolate. Charlie's dream is to visit the factory. When Wonka announces a contest to let five people come and visit his factory, Charlie feels that his dream can come true.
Five Golden Tickets are placed inside five chocolate bars, which are then sent to five random stores around the world. Noboy knows where. So, people buy tons of chocolate bars, hoping to get a ticket. Charlie, who has no money but a penny or so, feels that he's never going to win.
This movie is really fun and very entertaining not only for children but adults as well. Tim Burton has done a great work with this story. But it wouldn't have been as good as it is without the splended Johnny Depp who's really amazing in his role as the odd Willy Wonka.
This movie is like no other. It's very special but not so weird that it becomes a bad movie. It's a great movie with humour, music and exotic locations in the 007 studio where it's shot.
