This one just has nothing to really grab your attention. Stick with the 1971 film, it is a far superior picture and it has a much better cast and it doesn't overdo anything like this one did. Don't expect anything good with this film. The finished film just doesn't deliver anything memorable and it ends up being a waste of time. This tries too hard at delivering an entertaining ride by cramming way too much into the film, and overdoing everything. I thought that this film relied more on visuals and effects to try and entertain, while the original grabbed your attention with memorable performances, well executed storytelling and charm. Burton has made some great films, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ranks among his worst with Planet of the Apes. I guess you can say that this is a remake, and in that regards, it's a horrible one, and it joining countless other movies that have been butchered by remakes. The end result is a train wreck of a film, one that just doesn't offer anything new or exciting. I found this be a dull, boring film, one that tried too hard at putting new life into a classic story. In the lead role of Willy Wonka is Johnny Depp, who is always great in very off the wall eccentric characters, but here he is out of place, and just doesn't cut. ![]() ![]() In fact, I found this to be among the worst of Tim Burton's films. Tim Burton's version of Roald Dahl's classic work is pretty a copy of the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder, and it just doesn't deliver. Rating: PG (Mild Language|Action|Quirky Situations) Aided by his diminutive Oompa Loompa workers (Deep Roy), Wonka has a hidden motivation for the tour, one that he will reveal only after the children in the group show their true colors. Based on the beloved Roald Dahl tale, this comedic and fantastical film follows young Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) and his Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) as they join a small group of contest winners who get to tour the magical and mysterious factory of eccentric candy maker Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp).
