From Tim Burton's opening shot--against Danny Elfman's eerie score--this CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is recognizably darker than the Mel Stuart-directed 1971 version starring Gene Wilder. Though the mysterious chocolate factory has been closed for 15 years, it continues to produce and ship candy all over the world.

Johnny Depp stars as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore played Charlie Bucket. Both you might have seen in Finding Neverland. All the actors do a wonderful job bringing this story alive. Five golden tickets to five luck (or maybe not so lucky...) children. There are a lot more family elements in this movie than in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You see more of what Charlie's father is like. You also get more of a background about how Willy Wonka came to be the way he is. Another great thing is all the Oompa Loompas are played by one man (played by Deep Roy). There are tons of funny parts in this movie that you can't help but laugh out loud! I think this is a great must see family movie! | |

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton team up again in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - a hilarious and wildly visual remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Just like any other Tim Burton movie, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory is fantastic to watch - great color, production and direction. And just like any other Johnny Depp movie, its very well acted. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton got rave reviews for the movie which drove strong box office success nationally and abroad. Kids and parents alike will enjoy the movie - for different reasons. Either way, its a very fun and different twist on a classic movie... and I'm always up for a Depp / Burton combination: "Wondrous....Charlie and the Chocolate Factory moves, like Dahl's original, in a straight line from one inspired set piece to the next..." New York Times - A. O. Scott (07/15/2005) "Tim Burton surrounds Depp with miraculous visuals of spun sugar and creeping menace. Their missionary lunacy is a treat for twisted children of all ages." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (07/28/2005) "Depp deserves kudos for fashioning an original and outlandish if occasionally menacing character in CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY....[The film is] a marvel of rich, colorful design and flair." USA Today - Claudia Puig (07/15/2005) | |

Rather than just re-making the same movie, Burton added to the storyline, giving the viewer more insight into Willy Wonka himself and answering some questions that we had from the original. Johnny Depp, like always, did a superb job. I have to admit I didn’t know how I felt about his take on Wonka from the previews, but he really pulled it off. He was funny and twisted, yet very relatable. While I loved the extended story, I did not care as much for the oompa loompas; nor did I care for the lack of songs during the rest of the film. That aside, re-making such a great movie was a hard feat and I think Tim Burton did a great job at it. NOTE: You can find Johnny Depp merchandise at my store (http://stores.ebay.com/kelshideaway)if you are interested. | |

I was always disappointed with the original of this film, although it was fun and brought in elements of Wonka's eccentricity, it was far too "nice" and cheesy for me. This version however, with Tim Burton's brilliant imagery & Depp's amazing wierdness, really hit what the original missed. My kids loved the fun, the stereotyped kids, the singing and images, while we appreciated the darkness & wit that was lacking in the original. Loved it, will be watching again | |

I am a fan of the original, and now I can say that I am equally a fan of the 2005 version. Tim Burton has taken a book that is loved by many a school child and remained loyal to the vision of Mr. Dahl. A father son subplot has been added, but it does not take away from the film. I highly recomend this film for young and old alike. | |

Johnny Depp, just cracks me up~ I guess it was a little hard to see him that way, but it worked~that's what makes him a great actor! Overall I am very impressed with the movie, and it is one that I've added to my movie collection...(and I know it's made after the book not the original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)BUT nothing can replace Gene Wilder and the the first Chocolate Factory(It is a Classic After All!!). So, If you are a Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Deep Roy Fan or just into pure family fun and entertainment~you got a winner here!! | |

Good to show to spoiled kids so that they learn that in the end, a good heart and values always prevail. Johnny Depp is an excellent versatile actor and the movie is worth watching just to see what he will come up with next. The story is well structured and has a good pace; the actors, besides Johnny Depp, are good and in general the story line is nice. I would recommend you to buy this movie, specially if you have kids. | |

| 4 out of 5 people found the following review helpful. Tim Burton gives movie watchers plenty of eye candy in his new adaptation of Roald Dahl's dark children's classic "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Burton's penchant for gloomy tales meshes nicely with Dahl's dark moral story. Despite what many people have claimed, it’s misleading to say Burton's movie is a remake of the 1971" Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Sure, the basics are still the same: a poor boy discovers the last golden ticket, allowing him to tour Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with four other children – one gluttonous, one prideful, one greedy and another wrathful. But from there, the two films take different paths. The 1971 version averts attention from the darkness or morality in Dahl's book. Focus is shifted off Charlie, onto Wonka. That’s why the title’s different. The movie inserts suicide-prompting Disney-like songs and dancing to make the film more lovey-dovey. All the while, Dahl's moralistic vision that pervades the book floats away with the insertion of Charlie's disobedience with fizzy-lifting drink. This new, 2005 edition follows the book. It changes little but does add where Dahl left room for imagination. Screenwriter John August ("Big Fish") spent months with Burton to create a script that would have pleased Dahl. They collaborated with the late Dahl's wife, Felicity, to ensure the book was done justice. The insertion of Willy Wonka's childhood gives the reasons for Wonka's weirdness. This film also clearly shows the bad natures of the four other kids and their parents. This movie stays true to the moral lessons that Dahl conveyed in his book. Many argue that no one can replace Gene Wilder as the weird confectioner Willy Wonka. But, Johnny Depp gives the character meaning where Wilder could not. Depp's appearance, erringly similar to Michael Jackson, almost matches Joseph Schindelman's drawings in the book and perfectly illustrates the odd Wonka mannerisms. Burton's other casting decisions are not debatable. Freddie Highmore (“Finding Neverland”) plays a convincing, selfless Charlie. His waifish appearance is far more believable than Peter Ostrum's blonde hair, blue eyes and healthy look in 1971. David Kelly ("Waking Ned Divine") is a loveable Grandpa Joe. Deep Roy (“Big Fish”) plays the Oompa Loompas, who sing clever yet distracting songs after each bad child's disobedience. Christopher Lee's ("Lord of the Rings”) role as Wonka's dad makes the flashbacks of Wonka's childhood alluring. Music was only a backdrop in this movie. Danny Elfman, theme-creator of "Spider-Man" and "Batman," created no standout tunes for this movie. What little music there was in the film sounded similar to Elfman's "Men in Black" theme. In classic Burton style, most characters have matte-finished makeup. The gray lighting in much of the movie was reminiscent of another Burton’s "Sleepy Hollow." The geese from the 1971 movie have been replaced with the nut-cracking squirrels from the book. Burton's decision to make visually impressive physical sets and use limited special effects adds to the wonder Dahl wrote about. Enjoy Burton's "Factory" eye candy and let out your inner child, although you'll have to buy the dvd yourself. | |

They kinda freaked me out at the end. The movie was great though! I guess growing up with willie wonka being my favoret I was bound to like this one too. Not to mention Johnny dep Is just great! The oompa loompa songs could have been better though...The orginal song was way better than this one...(the augustas song) But over all I liked it...MY 3 YEAR OLD IS STILL WATCHING IT AS IM WRITING FOR THR 100TH TIME :) | |

I bought this movie because I am a Johnny Depp fan.Also seeing the original in the theatre over 30 years ago made me want to see this one which is closer to the actual book than the first one.I was not impressed as only 1 person was used for the Oompaloopas more should have been used. The only redeeming quality was you got a glimpse into why Willie Wonka became the recluse he was. | |
