Wonka - New vs Old

Wednesday, 28th September 2005 by Gadgetgirl

I am a big fan of the old Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. When I heard about the remake, I was hesitant to see it. However, after speaking to friends and work colleagues they convinced me I wouldn’t be disappointed.

So off I went to see it. It actually exceeded my expectations as I was thinking the worst. Johnny Depp as Wonka was definitely weird but I didn’t mind it. This version of the movie was closer to the book than the old version. I didn’t mind the silliness. After the week I had at work, it makes me think that some times we work too hard and forget about play.

    Have to admit, starting to develop a weird thing for Johnny Depp. Hmm. Anyway, while the movie is good, not sure that the back story about Willy Wonka’s father adds to the story.
