Re: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
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.

Re: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
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.

Re: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
I haven't seen this movie yet, but I have serious doubts about Depp's portrayal of Wonka. Gene Wilder's portrayal was not that of a child, but that of an idealist (some would say that is a child's best and worst trait). he was a man who had a very specific view of the world and the world he wanted to create.
Depp, on the other hand, dipped back into is celebrity bag and decided to immitate yet another quirky real life character. In Pirates he based his character on the Rolling Stones guitarrist (his name shockingly escapes me) and for Wonka he immitated Michael Jackson. This is an interesting choice, but I prefer the character of a man who holds on the childhood ideals, rather that that of a man who thinks he is a child.
Also, if this line is not in the re-make, I'll have SERIOUS problems with Burton.
"You get NOTHING. You LOSE. Good DAY to you!"... "I said GOOD DAY!"

Re: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Its not in the movie.
***SPOILERS****
In this movie, Charlie is not initially denied the factory. Nor does it have the flying/burping scene.

Re: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
I saw this movie last weekend and had some of the same problems. It was good but not as good as the original one. Gene Wilder will always be my Wonka.

Well.. in the book.. Wonka never gets pissed at Charlie and denies him the factory.
I think there were several changes from the book, which is why I heard the author didn't like the movie and denied them making a sequel.
