i can't believe that i haven't written about one of the best movies i've seen in quite a while. ryan and i have been excited since december about the tim burton version of "charlie". some say it looks too weird, sure. some say it looks too dark, ok. in my opinion, it's less weird and dark then the gene wilder version...with maybe a few exceptions.
we braved the opening night crowds to see this flick. lucky for us, ryan and i got to bring along our friends jake, 11, and gwynnie, 8. there's nothing like seeing a movie based on a children's book with children. a night of pizza, gummy bears, and a movie all about candy.
the oompa-loompas may have been my favorite part(s). the music is outstanding. i was belly laughing. instead of willy wonka portraying a savior-type character to charlie and his family, he is more human in this movie. with issues and baggage of his own. ryan and i like that part too.
as for comparing to the gene wilder version...you can't. it's a whole different beast. you should really check it out.
