I've heard good things about it. It's playing here in IMAX. A really BIG (and goofy looking) Johnny Depp!

i went to see it today. I couldnt really care that Jonny depp was in it. It was a TIM BURTON film!!!!!!!!! i was so excited, i had planned to go to the midnight showing...didn't make it, so i went today, and had a panic attack and had to come home halfway through. i feel so horrible, but what i saw was amazing, true Tim Burton-ness to it.

I saw the making of it - wow, Tim Burton really goes all out doesnt he??? He actually had the sets made, instead of using computer graphics. I like that.

And I have heard that he wanted to make the movie more true to the book than the first movie. I hope so, I really loved the book.

And it doesnt hurt having Johnny Depp in it - he has really improved as an actor and isnt bad to look at!

Charlie in the chocolate factory, the flight of the navigator, The Neverending story, and Milo & Otis were my FAVORITE movies when I was a kid, and they are STILL my favorites!!!! Ooooh I was sooo excited when I heard they were making a new film... and with johnny DEPP in it. Oh yeah. I'll have to wait till it comes out on dvd though. Dont have the moolah for the movies, because who goes to a movie and just buys a ticket? You know?

I would like to see this movie. The original is a classic with Gene Wilder, but I think Depp might be able to do a good job too.

I can't wait to go see it. I remember watching the movie as a kid now I get to see it with my kids. it's going to be amazing, We are all Johnny Depp fans here, even my kids, they loved Pirates and the Carabean.
Oh, we do go to the movies and just by tickets. I usually take the kids to MD's and then to the movies. Much cheaper that way or I forget that I put a candybar or two in my purse
My family and I just love movies so going there gets a bit pricy cause we'll go to two movies in a weekend. I know, we're bad
but we love it!!

I liked both the book and the original movie - Gene Wilder was great and the movie was one of my favourites as a child.

Really loved the book but was a bit disappointed in the first movie...the chocolate river didn't look like real chocolate! LOL as a kid I was really really looking forward to seeing a real choc river...
