willy wonka

I've always enjoyed the original, but Tim Burton's remake was seriously really, really good. Artistically it was really well done. He did a much better job of portraying the fantasticalness of Willy Wonka's factory.

Johnny Depp was a much younger Willy Wonka, but he did it perfectly. In general he's good at portraying strange characters but he did it with such underlying wit, and of course his usual trademark Depp eccentricities. I loved how he changed the Oompa Loompas and their music this time around.

Oh man, I just enjoyed this in all aspects. It was a fun movie, and definitely so far my favorite summer blockbuster.
