Even better than the original piece of garbage.

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2009)

Tin Burton's re imagining of Charlie and the chocolate factory is a creepy film. Wonka looks like a transvestite. Well, it's Johnny Depp we're talking about so there's no surprise. I was not fond of the original film. I actually hated the original film, unlike everyone else. Tim Burton's version is way better though. I didn't think that Johnny Depp's version of Willy Wonka was as good as Gene Wilder's. Depp doesn't really do that good of a job, Freddie Highmore does a better job than him. Now, that's kind of sad. The film has an eyeful of visuals that are very neat to look at. The chocolate factory is cool on the inside, despite the creepy Oompa Loompas. They were terrifying in the original, but still creepy in this film. Deep Roy plays all of the Oompa Loompas. I didn't think that Charlie and the chocolate factory was Tim Burton's best. It wasn't a highlight to anyone's career. But if anyone els hated it as much as I did, then they'll agree with me on my next statement. Tim Burton's Charlie and the chocolate factory makes up for the original. Tim Burton sure is a genius director. He uses all of the visuals of the book and makes them come to life in this good film. Though I hated the original film, the book was good. so was the remake, which was high on visuals, but low on some of these people's careers. Not that Johnny Depp was bad, it's just that he wasn't at the top of his form. Neither was Tim Burton. But I still give the film a thumbs up because I did like it a lot.
Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory: *1/2 out of ****
