WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD!!!
I went to see this movie last weekend after my mom and sister saw it and gave good reviews. I wasn't all that interested, but I ended up going anyway.
I have to admit it wasn't all that bad. It was a funny movie, and Johnny Depp was hysterical. The Oompa Loompas were funny as well, doing modernized versions of the old Oompa Loompa songs in new styles, such as disco.
As you may already know, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a recreation of the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I think the whole reason they remade it was to go into a little more detail of Willy Wonka's past. In the movie they show his father, an uptight dentist who never let his son have any candy (and put him in a headgear more elaborate than the International Spacestation), Willy's first piece of candy, and him running away from home to escape his father's rules about candy.
Other than that, the movie is the same as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I would reccomend that you see this movie as soon as you can.
A long time ago, on a blog far far away... I wrote a review on the new Star Wars movie, Episode three. This spoils the movie, so don't read it unless you don't plan to see the movie or if you've already seen it.
Overall, the movie was good, and tied all the loose ends up very nicely. It told of the death of Lord Tyranus (Count Dooku), the rise and fall of General Grievous, the transformation of Anakin into Darth Vader, the birth of the twins, Luke and Leia, the reason why Darth Sidious is so hideously ugly, the death of all the other Jedi, and Obi-Wan and Yoda going into hiding after the rise of the sith. The lightsaber fights were good, but when Yoda fought it was disappointing to not see him jumping around. And the dialogue stunk! The best line in the movie was Anakin yelling "I hate you!" at Obi-Wan while lying on the ground with his feet sliced off. Again, overall the movie was good, but I think Yoda needed to fight the way the way he did in Episode II. And here are my favorite lines from the Star Wars saga...
"May the force be with you" - Just about every Jedi in the movies, episodes 1-6
"Hard to see the dark side is" - Yoda, episode 1
"The dark side clouds everything" - Yoda, episode 2
"Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me someday?" - Obi- Wan Kenobi, episode 2
"Powerful you have become, Dooku, the darkside I sense in you" - Yoda, episode 2
"Begun the Clone War has" - Yoda, episode 2
"Luke, I am your father" - Darth Vader, episodes 4-6
'You have unusual powers,young Padawan.But not enough to save you this time" - Count Dooku, episode 2
"You're breaking my heart!" - Padme, episode 3
