Fun movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2016)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is quite a hated movie, being the remake of a beloved classic and all. I personally love this movie more than the original.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my childhood favorites. I liked the original when I was young also, but not nearly as much as this one. Burton's world is just so colorful and imaginative and is filled with things that make you want to explore it.
One of the best parts of the movie where it succeeds over the original in my opinion is the characters. They're all quirky and fit in with the strange feel of the movie. Some may complain that Charlie is more perfect compared to the original where he was flawed with the one scene with the fizzy drinks. However, all the other children are one- note and exaggerated, so Charlie being perfect fits in more with the atmosphere of the movie. Depp plays a completely different performance compared to Wilder's as Willy Wonka, and whichever one you like more will depend on your tastes
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a fun and often wrongly criticized movie. It is a very fun experience which I highly recommend.
