Johnny Depp can do no wrong.

Do go see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It's better than I expected and Johnny Depp makes a charming, likeable Willy Wonka. I haven't read the book in at least a decade, so I can't say for sure if this version is more accurate to the book than the version with Gene Wilder, but I can say that the two films are different enough that you won't be comparing them to each other.

agreed. i really enjoyed the performance(s) of the guy who played the oompa loompa, but still found myself looking for those weird richly orange-tanned little guys from the original. i want a trained squirrel. NO. I want an room full of them.
