Worth the Popcorn?

I was never really into the books of Roald Dahl, while they were pretty popular when I was young. And I wasn't a fan of Tim Burton either. So it came as quite a surprise when I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't until later that I realized how much I actually had enjoyed it.

I was going through some movies when I found 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' again. I knew it had entertained me, but I had to see it that second time to realize what an unique movie it was. It just proves again how movies don't have to be adult or children only. And how family movies don't have to be all nice and cuddly.

That's probably the thing I like the most about the story. This big chocolate maker every child loves, isn't a lovely man at all. Played brilliantly by Johnny Depp. There's a fine balance between funny weird and just weird and he pretty much keeps it steady at the funny part. Another fun family movie to enjoy on this casual Monday.
