Though I understand this is an adaptation from the book, not a simple remake of the film, I felt the original film was a better expression of the story. In particular, too much time is spent on analyzing Wonka. Essentially, Charlie is the most compelling and empathetic character (and I actually really like Highmore's performance), it's wonderful to see this world of wonder through his innocent and naive perspective. Wonka is an interesting character, but he's best left as a mystery.

For a long time Tim Burton would simply call up Johnny Depp and say, "Can you do weird?" and Johnny would say, "Well, yes, I can do weird," and the world was a better place for it. Not so much anymore.

First of all, Dahl's story is just plain fascism. Moreover, the old adaptation, with Gene Wilder et al, was definitely better than Burton's empty, uninvolving one.

Some will argue that it's a more faithful adaptation of the book than the 1971 film, but when it's such a mediocre movie that fails to matter. As great an actor as Depp is, he just can't hold a candle to the simmering brilliance of Gene Wilder's bizarre minimalist performance as Wonka. It's got some interesting visuals, to be sure, and Freddie Highmore is great as Charlie, but everything is done so deliberately to avoid replicating the earlier film that it fails to leave a positive impression.

Visually interesting but not as entertaining as I'd have hoped or expected it to be. Johnny Depp is good in his role but it's often a little too... out there. I suppose that's on purpose but it's not the same Willy Wonka we've come to know and love.

What a wonderful movie! Amazingly filmed with vibrant, vivid colors, and drab, dull colors depending on where the scene is. Incredibly acted on all accounts! The "background" to Willy Wonka's life is (I believe) an addition the movie made that was not in the book. Yet, amazingly enough, I think it adds to the story. The movie manages to be bright and happy where the story could easily be dark if the director had chosen that route. Happily, Burton didn't! It's an instant favorite!:D

The disturbing fairy tale version of the Final Destination franchise. Burton's visual style is an assault on the senses, featuring some spectacularly awful gross-out moments. This film is just full of questionable choices: from the musical numbers to Johnny Depp's performance to all of the time devoted to Willy Wonka's backstory. There is a certain perverse pleasure to seeing these awful kids die, but -just like any chocolate out of this factory- it's sure to leave a bad aftertaste.

This isn't the first time nor will it be the last time I'll say this: someone needs to stop Tim Burton. Please, this is insulting to your talents and your vision. At times this is an assault on the senses and in no world should Johnny Depp ever be compared to Gene Wilder, it's insulting to the later who is infinitely better.

Outright excises the most important plot points of the story with little explanation and leaving only weird, out of place scenes as a replacement. Depp is not a very great Wonka and everything else is pretty much instantly forgettable. A seemingly endless amount of redundant dialog and unnecessary flashbacks. This wouldn't be a very good film even without the mammoth original overshadowing it in every way.

One of those movies I watched often as a kid and would probably not like so much on rewatch today. I don’t love Depp’s acting here, but I also just don’t love this interpretation of Willy Wonka. Production is excellent though, and I kind of liked the music too. I give August and Burton credit for adding some more depth to the original story too. As far as Tim Burton’s remakes go, this is still one of his better ones, for whatever that’s worth.

Mediocre retelling of the Roald Dahl classic. Doesn't compare particularly well to the Gene Wilder version either. The CGI looks a bit rubbish, especially during the opening sequence, and the Oompa Loompas are just so wrong. That said, it's still a good story, and Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is suitably off-kilter and weird. The kid who played Charlie was pretty decent too, as was most of the supporting cast.

It is not a great adaption and is a bad film alone. The cinematography is alright, they added a lot of unique and good scenes in the film but ended it badly. The characters are just ripped off from the original practically and don't develop a lot. The story is the same and they totally got rid of the boat ride scene which gave me a large impression in the original. I HATE THE OOMPA LOOMPAS in this film they are just midgets. Not really good at all I was entertained at the most part, I guess.

I like Johnny Depp and all, but his presence in this film is detrimental. Part of it is his somewhat overdone performance, but mostly it's Burton's decision to put so much emphasis on the character of Willy Wonka and his backstory. The flashback scenes did little for me, and they seemed to come at the expense of a more fleshed out handling of the heart of the story: the tour of the factory. Like most of what I've seen from Burton, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is stylish but mostly hollow.

Burton's vision of the book is certainly an interesting one, but it is vastly overshadowed by the quality of its predeccessor. While the scenery and special effects are impressive the terrible songs, annoying child actors (par Charlie) and questionable additions over Wonka's past spoil the experience. Depp puts in a predictably good performance, but doesn't match Gene Wilder's portrayal of Wonka. Everything is simply so intentional that it never really comes together as well as the original did.

Starts off very well, though I began losing interest about halfway through. I think Dahl's sense of humor carries through well under Burton's guidance, and the acting was right-on, particularly in the case of Wonka, Charlie, and Joe. The Wonka backstory is somewhat entertaining, but messes up the dynamics of Wonka's character and takes too much focus from Charlie. But overall this is a good adaptation of a childhood favorite.

Gene Wilder is a much better Willy Wonka. I barely remember this film apart from Johnny Depp more or less stealing every scene he was in. And that's not a compliment. He's the only thing I remember.

I found this to be far more annoying and childish than necessary. Burton once again made a movie for which the focus was on being very weird rather than good and weird. Johnny Depp was surprisingly annoying, but maybe it's because I thought Gene Wilder was so perfect. Alas, such is the way of remakes. And for those who argue that it's not a remake, don't be silly, of course it is. Ugh!

Charlie and family are sweet (the first act with the golden anticipation is excellent); it’s a shame that Wonka and the actual chocolate factory are not. Depp’s unsettling and awkward portrayal is often entertaining (lots of good one-liners, and that melting puppet intro was hilarious), but it heads up an overall creepy and cold vibe for the rest of the film that feels at odds with our likeable lead. Both the songs and flashbacks add little joy to the proceedings, only unnecessary length.

This bizarre remake of the Gene Wilder classic gets a big of a bad rap, and while Jonny Depp’s Wonka may not live up to his predecessors iconic interpretation of the role, he does at least manage to have fun with it.

Top badass moment? Deep Roy singing & dancing; it reminded me of Rimmerworld. A factory owner sacks his entire labour force and then imports a lot of foreign workers to take its place. Then another factory owner does much the same thing. Meanwhile, a young child and a group of pensioners are forced to live in a house that's clearly not fit for habitation; we're talking way beyond a bit of mold in the bathroom here. Also contains plenty of casual woke-bating. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

This is an utterly unnecessary retread of a nostalgic and wonderful classic film. Sure, Burton injects his signature visual style and the film displays improved special effects, but in going bigger with the story, it also loses some of the magic that the original book and film had. Also, Johnny Depp's weirdly child-like portrayal of Willy Wonka is just odd when compared to Gene Wilder's more controlling candy mastermind.

This looks great, and there are some decent ideas here, but, while it does have the trademark Burton weirdness, it lacks any true originality, charm and warmth - all the things that previously characterised a Burton/Depp collaboration. If you want an interesting version of Roald Dahl's novel, stick with 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It may not be as faithful to its source as this, but it's intriguing and it's got heart, something which this version is all but devoid of.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a visually stunning and a great Tim Burton film, but the Willy Wonka backstory was crap.

Roald Dahl's classic novel may not have been the best fit for Tim Buton's style. Somehow he managed a highly entertaining update on the classic story. It takes nothing from the original and features Johnny Depp hamming it up big time with hilarious and poignant results. The music from Danny Elfman, the special effects and the sense of wonder all come together to form a film with power enough to stand up with the well known classic and then some.

The more of Depp's films I see the more I start valuing his versatility. Impeccable performance here. As much as I don't want to admit it, this is another of Burton's good flicks - although kept milder than usual, his grotesque style works wonders here. Some of the characters are quite ingenuous, others quirkier and caricatureish, but many are memorable. A downside are some of the special effects - although with technology we run the risk of having another Alice, so it may be better after all.

Burton and Depp are weird guys. Still, the movie is gorgeous to look at and Highmore is great as Charlie.

The first 30 minutes are Burton at his best, falls of the cliff the second Depp steps on screen

(Viewed in 2014): A slightly chilly adaptation of Dahl's classic story, Burton's vision of the factory's interiors is impressive with elaborately constructed sets and eye popping colours that dazzle and stun. Depp's Wonka, however, is understandably divisive and perhaps signalled the moment where his grab-bag-of-tricks style performances became increasingly noticeable. The reimagining of the Oompa Loompa's is just bizarre, although Elfman's songs are catchy. The mixed impression remains.

Ick. A rather sweet children's book does not, shall we say, benefit from Tim Burton's gothic fairy tale sensibility. Nor from Johnny Depp's incessant mugging.

I now mostly avoid Tim Burton, but this is an unnecessary, inferior remake.

Dazzling and rememberable at some parts, but baffling, annoying and ill-conceived at others. An interesting take, but doesn't hold up like the original overall.
