I happened to watch the movie "Willy Wonka" the latest version not the old classic one last nite. The first Willy Wonka is a "classic" and although I don't really know the whole cast for they were older actors and actresses I favored the first version. I hate to say this...that Johnny Depp's acting in this movie is not at its best. He is always in a flashback or trance. Well that could be that's the reason why he looked like as if he is not "normally in compliance" with the rest of the cast. I don't find this remake a good movie. Nah, poorly done. Sorry.
Johnny's acting is best remembered only in movies such as the "Pirates' as Jack Sparrow. Or Edward's Scissorhands or "In the Nick of Time."
Besides, the old movie, the original "Willy Wonka" has better cast and yes the very wise, speedy Violet is a great Olympian with the score point of perfect 10 and that makes the movie worthwhile.
Also Charlie in that old movie is much better with his kind of acting. Know why? I think it has something to do with the director who want perfection with their acting and dialogue that rhymes in accordance with the sights and sounds of the movie. Timing. Yes right timing and deliberation.
Oh well, we'll be watching more old remakes or old movies and replays on TV for the time being.
Time to relax.
