Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
2005
***½
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore, David Kelly, Deep Roy, Helena Bonham Carter
An entertaining children's film about an eccentric sweet manufacturer Willy Wonka who invites five lucky kids to tour his chocolate factory. Tim Burton is just the man to visualise all the dark, cruel and inventive elements of Roald Dahl's popular book. Willy Wonka, as played by Johnny Depp, leaves a slightly uneasy aftertaste.
