Leave it to the wonderful Tim Burton to remake a film about a creepy guy in a top hat and a candy factory and make it even more popular. I must admit that I love this director which could be why I prefer the 2005 remake over the original but I digress. This movie, in case anybody has not seen either version is about a man who owns a chocolate factory and opens it for a day to five lucky golden ticket winners. Each room is full of some strange candy making technique or another and there is even a huge chocolate waterfall that turns into a rich chocolate river.
This entire movie consists of scene after scene of chocolate eye candy, quite literally, even if Johnny Depp looks a little weird. It is a funny, sweet, worthwhile film for chocolate lovers everywhere and anyone interested in a meal-in-a-stick of chewing gum...perhaps Willy Wonka should have gotten a patent?

I'm a fan of the original version myself but I always thought it would be amazing if a place like that was real. Can you imagine rooms completely made out of candy and eating anything you wanted. When I was younger I would always pull back candy bar wrappers very slowly (and dramatically)just like Charlie did hoping that there was a golden ticket inside. Obviously I pretended I found one every time and would start jumping around and excitedly screaming. Great movie.
I love the original version but I absolutely love Johnny Depp so I can't hate the remake. Now I am going home to watch both!
