Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Tim Burton asked Johnny Depp to star in his latest film. They had already worked together in "Edward Scissorhands" so Johnny probably thought this could be a perfect opportunity to gain good reviews from the critics and also it was his best chance to impersonate Michael Jackson. He doesn`t succeed 100% for he has a nose way too big in order to be mistaken for Michael Jackson.

It`s probably a good thing that I didn`t manage to finish this bashing of the film (if I bashed it in the first few sentences, I don`t really remember) because I watched this film once again and this time at the cinema and not some crappy screener where you don`t get half of the screen because the idiot that filmed it was and idiot. Anyhow, visually I say - wow! And I gotta admit that the ending was much better done in the film than it was in the book preceeding it. Yet there`s one more thing to clarify - whether Charlie was better done in the original film with Gene Wilder or not. But this version is really good, although I still think that it IS made for children and not for adults and I also found the singing Oompa-Loompas a bit annoying. But it was Roald Dahl`s idea and not Tim Burton`s (although Dahl wasn`t thinking about immitating Kiss and Beatles for sure). But that doesn`t stop CatCF from being a very good children`s film.
