Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

YPGAMING Charlie and the chocolate factory. Sttaring this time Johny deep as wonka this film pissed off a lot of fans and im not gonna lie it pissed me too. But now i kindda like it. Ironnicly the Wonka film focuses more on Charlie and the Charlie one on Wonka. I have no problem with Deeps performance like many people have but i think Charlie in this film is borring.So you can understand that i understand both sides an i think it diserves a 7.

SimplyHaitian I usually wouldn't write a review for a movie that already has so many but I have decided to come forward and defend this one, particularly since a lot of the negative reviewers sound like they have descended into hysterics. I really don't understand what all the caterwauling is about. You would have thought that Tim Burton produced a film advocating Satanism for children or something. It's really not that serious and people need to get a grip. To be clear I have seen both the original older rendition and this one and I HAVE ENJOYED BOTH. It's a DIFFERENT movie and I find the acting therein SUPERB. I have watched this film many times and the jokes, facial expression and banter never get old. The cast did an outstanding job. I find myself laughing EACH and EVERY time I watch this. As far parental advisories I watch this with my children all the time. (Admittedly there about perhaps TWO scenes that may be very briefly disturbing.) And I am big on parental guidance when it comes to movies and I am quick to protect my little ones and quick to protest, yes PROTEST, when Hollyweird gets out of line. But I really don't see what the fuss is about. (But of course, it is clearly for each parent to decide.) For those who insist on comparing this film to the original and posting your protestations online please calm down. Know that you are doing the public a diservice with your hysterics. Please step aside and allow others to view this film for its own merits. For those who have an open mind go forth and enjoy this. You won't be disappointed!

areatw I might be in a tiny minority here, but I actually prefer 2005's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to the original 'Willy Wonka' film from the 70s. Yes, the original is considered a classic and rightly so, but there is something about this version that I love that just isn't found in the original. It remains loyal to the book whilst adding the odd new element to give it a fresh feel.I've seen this version a few times now and always enjoy it immensely. I particularly like how we learn more about the mysterious Willy Wonka character as we're taken back to his childhood. Johnny Depp is brilliant as Wonka, delivering a truly captivating performance and giving his own take on the character. 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' turned out as well as it could have for me. It was never going to please everyone, but I think this is a brilliant remake.

Dude62 Very well done; well-acted, well-directed, and well arranged for the silver screen. Watching this made feel like I'm re-reading that beautiful book from my childhood. There are only two things that bugs me; one of them is very subjective; when I've read the book back in the days, I've always dreamt the the insides of the chocolate factory would have a blue sky so it would have a much more brighter atmosphere from the dark and cold city thus it would create a great contrast. The second thing that bugged me is much more objective but it's far less important when compared; the narrator appears at the beginning of the movie, establishing things just like in the book, then... he's gone. And then the appears out of nowhere. It feels a little disjointed. Burton took the source material, respected it more than any other comic or novel based production and achieved something bigger than lots of other comic or novel based movie. Well done.
