Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Depp is right at home with Burton behind the camera, and we can tell. He truly let's his Willy Wonka go wild. The visuals (like almost EVERY other Tim Burton film) add a nice touch to a story that sometimes seems... Full review

The original movie was good. If you have seen it, picture that with even more detail and background. That is close to what this film is. Tim Burton did a very good job with this and took us around the Factory... Full review

Charlie 1 is a sentimental favorite because of Wilder. Charlie 2 entertains on a dastardly cerebral level, but there was not a second of the movie that I wasn't mesmerized.... Full review

I loved the original Charlie with Gene Wilder, dorky in some places, but great all around. Now the 2005 version with Johnny Depp, even better. Depp is the only one who could pull this off as well as he did. There... Full review

Come on! Another Hollywood remake to get the easy cash! Whether or not the film sticks to the book is not the issue. The whole reason we use film versus paper is so we can improve upon, or embelish the story.... Full review

Young Freddie Highmore excels as everyboy Charlie, who has no claim to fame except that he is a really nice kid who loves his family. A visual carnival of colour and fantasy, dripping with quirk and seriously eccentric, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is more entertaining even - or perhaps especially - for adults than most adult films. ...

Director Olly Blackburn shoots the action in a series of familiar, uninspiring mid-shots mostly in deep focus, rarely pulling our attention this way or that like a good thriller should. Worse than that, the film seems hopelessly lost between being a dramatic thriller a la Hitchcock and a knowing self-referential horror thriller like Saw or Hostel . ... Full Review

Tim Burton was hired in 2003, and was annoyed after seeing the screenplay, which portrays Wonka as a father figure of sorts to Charlie; it was subsequently rewritten. Charlie, who lives with his parents and four grandparents and struggling to live on his father's meager income alone, hopes to get a ticket, and eventually gets it, along with four other kids-competitive Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb), spoiled Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), and hyperactive Mike ...
