Saw it the other day and I was quite pleased with it. Johnny Depp must be the most versatile around - he can play any sort of role.
Must admit I had a few gripes with it:
- Willy Wonka being American yet his father English;
- The complate Americanism of it i.e. 'Band-Aid' instead of 'Plaster', 'Candy' instead of 'Chocolate/Sweets' etc.
- The actor playing Charlie - quite annoying kid, not a bad actor though.
Much better than the Wilder version.
PS. Traxor, I hope that WOTW is your favourite film just because you've not seen that many films to compare it with! It's really not great, but I appreciate it's your opinion.
