Too Dark And Complex

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 2009)

Sorry, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of lot of remakes that have failed to live up to the standards and one of those type of movies that is embarrassing when compared to the original. The original Chocolate Factory, was fun, it had great characters, excellent feel-good acting, wonderful music and certainly did deliver on all bases on what a family movie should be like. The recent was way too dark, Willy Wonka (Johnny Deep) played his character as way too confusing, complex and a intimidated negative role model. Like the average remake nowadays, they always add in the bit on how the main characters life was like before he did what he did to make him famous or known. This failed, full-stop. Bad CGI, bad characters and a unsuccessful remake. Tim Burton has shown he can do much better.
