Definitely destroys my vision of the original 1971 film!!!

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2019)

I went to see Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" when it was showing at Odyssey cinemas with my mum on my 10th birthday, but was completely unimpressed with it, ever since I first got into the far superior 1971 film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" which is still one of my favourite films up to date.
First of all, the film stars Johnny Depp, completely miscast as Willy Wonka because you can't really compare him to Gene Wilder.
Secondly, Tim Burton tried to make it more faithful to the original novel, but, also, some backstory where we see Willy Wonka's childhood and meet his father Wilbur Wonka, played by Christopher Lee, who works as a dentist.
Lastly, Danny Elfman's music score makes it a very dark adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, if he had lived to see it.
If you are a big fan of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" when you've read the book, please just stick with the original colourful 1971 "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" Film starring Gene Wilder, if you grew up watching it. I've watched it so many times and still enjoy it!
