Visiting Willy Wonka

I went to see the new Willy Wonka movie directed by Tim Burton, and I ended up liking it in spite of myself (as I am pretty big fan of the original).

Watching the trailers, I thought Johnny Depp might have gone "over the top" with his version of of Willy. I usually enjoy Tim Burton's movies, but it seemed to me that this great director and actor combination had just missed the mark on this one. I am happy to say I was wrong, and the movie was much better than trailers made it appear. While I would have to see it a few more times to know if I like it as well as the original, it was definitely enjoyable.
