Willy Wonka......

[jjpenguin]

Personally, I found it pretty creepy.... but I am looking forward to the film. Though nothing can beat the book in my opinion.

I noticed in Safeways last night (well its Morrisons now, but will always be Safeways to me) that they were selling Wonka chocolate bars with 5 trips to the US to be won if you find a golden wrapper.

Yes, I bought a wonkas whipple scrumptious fudgemallow delight from woolworths yesterday, absolutely delicious but didn't win a trip to the Hersheys factory never mind, I'll have to buy some more!

Johnny Depp i'm in heaven

The clips of the film look great can't wait to see it but i also liked him in Pirates of the Caribbean.

The original is a well played DVD in this household Saw the trailer at the cinema recently and its looks very good.

We saw this last week in Fort Myers Beach (just love being able to name-drop like that! ) and thought it was great! I really like Johnny Depp, so I was never going to be disappointed whatever the film was like I certainly preferred it to the one with Gene Wilder.

Yes, JJ - DH and I both thought JD was very much like Michael Jackson, but DD's disagreed (they'd heard he'd said he'd modelled himself on Marilyn Manson )

Saw the movie last week and was very disappointed by it.......the original was much better, in my opinion. The kids didn't much care for it either. They much preferred "Fantastic Four". Johnny Depp was very strange in the role of Willie Wonka...........he did remind me of Michael Jackson too.

we saw it last week in Orlando (at the AMC theatres in Downtown Disney).

Of the 4 of us, my husband, 18 year old son and 20 year old daughter LOVED it....
on the other hand, I hated it....but that was to be expected....i don't like anything surreal.....(even with Johnny Depp, whom i adore, i hated it)...

but based on my family, 75% of the viewing audience will love it...

Seen it today with the kids. All loved it. Depp was brilliant to me, not outrageous like Wilder in the role. He was very subtle in the role and brought across an insecure but loveable quality thet many actors wouldnt score with. Reasons why were told very well too.

There are some very clever humour moments and some clever movie take ups- I wont mention any spoilers.

This story WAS my childhood, i had the book read to me before i could read then read it myself many times. I was impressed with the Tim Burton stamp it had inked all over it.

Loved every minute of it and i still have a smile on my face 10 hours later.

We are off to see it tomorrow Glad it is getting good reviews

 

[alisonbestford]

DD and I went to see it yesterday and loved it
On the way home from the cinema I heard a radio interview with Johnny Depp where he was asked if he thought his character resembled Michael Jacksons'.
He basically said 'heck no' that wasn't the intention but, if that's what you want to think.......

 

[Dimplenose]

Saw it this afternoon with DD(11 year old JD fan) and thought it was really good, much funnier than I was expecting. A bit strange to hear David Kelly without his Irish accent though. I think we might go and see this again.

Saw it on Friday - can't decide which version is better though. I will always love the original (I grew up with it - who didn't?! ) but this version is just so bright and colourful and the special effects rock!!!! It was funny too. Overal... big thumbs up from me!!!!

 

[mark&sue]

We are going Tuesday and hope to love it too. Glad you really liked it Rob.

Have been looking forward to this since Xmas!

We went to see this today and really enjoyed it. Johnny was very good, if not a bit wierd LOL!!

 

[Goofyish]

Just arrived back from seeing the film and we all enjoyed it (although I prefer the original film ).

 

[Scottish_Maleficent]

At last....made it to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this afternoon.
We saw it at the IMAX in Glasgow......WOW!!! It was superb.........loved Johnny Depp. Though it was so much better than the original.....no more 'Cheer Up Charlie...'.....
And seemed to be more in line with the actual book if I remember......(not read it in a loooong time!!)

Grandpa Joe....was he the one-armed kitchen assistant from Robin's Nest????
