Another movie I recently saw, “Charlie and the Choclate Factory“, was one I told myself I’d never like. Yet I loved it. It is the remake of the 1971 cult classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. I loved Gene Wilder in the original which led me to be skeptical of Johnny Depp (Who I think is a superb actor).

In the most recent version of the film they had more of a background story on Willy Wonka. You find out about his home life that made him who he is today. Now I don’t want to give too much away on that part. Mainly because I think it is a very interesting point of the story surrounding the ever-mysterious Willy Wonka. They made some noticeable changes with the newer version of the movie, but it makes it a unique and must see film.

If you’ve been on the fence about seeing the movie I suggest you wait no more. This is in my humble opinion a MUST SEE movie. With the differences between the two it is an almost completely new movie. I give it 4 ½ wonka bars out of 5!
