The movie was great. I enjoyed it a lot. You could definetly tell it was a Tim Burton film. :]

I should see this tonight then. I've been thinking about it just because of Johnny Depp playing such an odd role for a man like him and the fact well...its just odd looking all around

Oh..and I was in mall the other day and at Hot Topic (friend was bored

) and they had the Wonka coat used in the movie so I was contemplating getting that ($60 though!), finding the Wonka hat used in the movie and goggles worn and scare everyone at work

I've got mixed opinions about the movie....i think they screwed willy wonka's character up...a lot. The original willy wonka was so much cooler, he was childish and everything, but you could tell he was "the" man....he pwned. In the new version he's just as dumb and confused as any of the kids. Thats pretty much my only complaint, otherwise, i thought it was great.

Soundwise, the movie is a masterpiece, absolutely brilliant, very much in tim burton's unique style. The Oomp Loompa's kicked seriously liberal amounts of ass, although they kind of reminded me of the clone army from Star Wars. All the songs were very well made, although some of the lyrics were hard to hear. But then again nothing can beat "Oompa, Loompa, Dupity doo"....that was just classic.

The special effects were fairly nice, although the colours could well give you seizures, and I've heard other friends that have seen it high and they agree whole heartedly w/ you Joeiss.

And yeah....thats my thoughts

I kind of agree with the Wonka's character thing. Depp portrayed him as an alien or something. I found that kind of weird, but I still thought it was funny.

it had a lot of good visual elements, but a lot of random stuff thrown in seems like an afterthought. like the whipped cream. nothing else was like that, it was by itself. Charlie ended up being too perfect, which bugged me. no faults makes his character boring.

willie wonka seemed like someone who couldn't have gotten that much of a fortune, because he acted like an idiot, who knew nothing. in the original, he was very very clever...

they violet CG works really sucked and bothered me a lot.

not enough mystery in the factory, didn't make it seem like everything was edible like the original movie. and wonka didn't seem like he valued his factory, it just seemed like he was there.

I like Tim Burton, but I didn't like this movie.

The Oompa Loompas made this movie. The combined talents of Danny Elfman and Deep Roy (my new favorite actor) were great. Now I can't stop listening to the soundtrack. As for Wonka I kinda prefer Gene Wilder's portrayal. The Jackson tendencies of this one kinda put me off but Depp wasn't really bad...just dramatically different.
