A movie based on Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2005)

THIS MOVIE IS NOT A REMAKE OF WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.
This is (note the title difference) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is ACTUALLY based on Roald Dahl's book (of the same title.) Dahl hated the original movie. Anyone read the book? It is not all happy-go-lucky, sugar-coated fun. It is creepy, especially when you read it when you are young. I read it when I was in third grade. Scary.
This movie is based on the BOOK not the previous movie.
Get over the fact that Johnny Depp can't replace Gene Wilder... He's not trying to.
This is a whole different experience.
