Description

Fantasy Adventure. Acclaimed director Tim Burton brings his vividly imaginative style to the beloved Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, about eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka (Depp) and Charlie, a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory. Long isolated from his own family, Wonka launches a worldwide contest to select an heir to his candy empire. Five lucky children, including Charlie, draw golden tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the legendary candy-making facility that no outsider has seen in 15 years. Dazzled by one amazing sight after another, Charlie is drawn into Wonka's fantastic world in this astonishing and enduring story.

I didn’t like this because of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. I also like this because it has some similarities to the book. For example the Oompa Loompa songs in this film are the ones in the book. The nut sorting room scene is like in the book. I love both this film and the original.

The opening title is just so beautifully Tim Burton and I love it. Well, the whole movie is very blatantly Tim Burton, but that opening sequence with what sounds like children harmonizing is just so captivating.
Charlie is such a good boy. He reminds me of how I was when I was in elementary school- optimistic, empathetic, imaginative, and kind. He absolutely deserves the chocolate factory.
Willy is just so adorable in this movie. I just want to hug him and protect him from anything that tries to hurt him. He’s awkward, introverted, sassy, intelligent, and a bit diabolical. I do like his added backstory and how it was wrapped up, even if it was a bit predictable. He somehow reminds me of both the kind old man who lives down the street and the preppy teenaged girl from high school(what? He IS kinda effeminate- and the hair is NOT helping). Long story short, I would die for him.
This review’s gotten more than a little long, so I’mma cut it off. Still, it’s very obvious why this is my favorite movie...
PS: sigh...here’s the obligatory joke. “I see you winding and grinding...”

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my all time fave films and is a good remake of the classic with Gene Wilder. I think some parts are dark (Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka is portrayed as weirder than the Gene Wilder Wonka in the 70’s version) but that’s just Tim Burton’s style. The music is really good (not just the Oompa Loompas singing “Oompa loompa doopity doo I got another puzzle for you.”) and every song is based on like a 70’s disco song or an 80’s rock ballad which is really nice. The effects are awesome (especially the chocolate river) and the acting was good but Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka

Racist and Just Generally Bad

Depiction of Oompa Loompas basically is almost entirely based in stereotypes about Indiginous People. Not even close to acceptable.
Also, Johnny Depp just doesn't work as Wonka. The older version of this movie is way better.

Tim Burton films get worse and worse

Ok. I understand that they wanted to make a new version of the original story which was actually called Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory but why would they give that position or creating producing and or directing the movie to Tim Burton. He is scary beyond all reason, and when “The nightmare before Christmas” became a movie under the title of “A Walt Disney Film” that is just the exact moment to stop, take the remote control turn off the tv, and or throw it out the window. His short films and creations he makes are so overrated that I wish I didn’t have to believe the fact that people and children like him and his productions. Nothing but a mediocre screw up TRYING to create something that anyone and everyone should actually- could be fond of. What a loser. Can’t believe that anyone likes him. The movie is below ok and only some can actually understand the darkness or the purpose that willie allowed people to visit the factory. I also don’t know why Johnny would even have the slightest bit of desire to be in at least ONE of Burton’s films. For example, the Corpse Bride. Never seen it, (never will) but from the looks of the trailer, it’s stupid and weird enough. He should just leave the whole Disney brand forever and then I’d be happy and satisfied to myself. Buying or even renting this movie would be a complete and total retarded rip-off.

I personally loved this movie because.... well,I love because I love chocolate 🍫, and when I saw that place in the movie that looks like(or is)a garden I said to myself “I wish I can go/be there” when I watched this movie I remember saying” what will happen
next”over and over again
I LOVE THIS MOVIE

Not bad the original I liked but it just the singing drove me crazy and when they entered the factory with a bunch of candy the music sounds like a horror movie
But the only thing that sucked about it was how the other children lose the same way well 90% of he time

The original was a classic movie that a lot of people love, but this....is good on its own. It is a remake, I didn’t expect much, but I was surprised to see how it was very close to the book. This, and Johnny Depp didn’t do too bad in this. It wasn’t like his other roles, but it was a pretty okay movie overall.

Modern day hyper-active nonsense

I get what they’re trying to do here. Take a classic (Gene Wilder version), inject it with stimulants, give the actors whiter teeth, and off we go. Johnny Depp is predictable and doesn’t let us forget it’s him underneath all that makeup and goofy hair. The sweetness and charm of the original has been replaced by the sheen and stench of modern day Hollywood. Typical. Next thing you know, they’ll be doing a remake of Mary Poppins with Miley Cyrus as the lead. Do yourself a favor and avoid this.

One of my personal favorites!

This is a movie that has everything you expect. Beautiful, beautiful scenery and outstanding performances. I seriously disagree with everyone who thinks Johnny Depp's acting is weird and dark. Plus it's less nightmare overdrive than the original.

For all of you that say this is a horrible remake, I think that you don't realize this isn't a remake. Tim Burton made his own version based off the BOOK not the previous Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie! I love Tim Burtons style and I like the modern movie effects that they have today.

No one is gonna watch the movie anyway. It's a really really stupid movie. The plot is trash, the set is weak. Come on don't watch this movie.
If you've seen it you'd say the same thing. It's worth 6 cents maybe even less, so don't buy the movie. To all actors of this movie bad luck. And really it's a totally stupid movie

You can’t top the original. This movie is beyond creepy. The oompa loompas are the worst part. Willy Wonka is supposed to be quirky not a complete idiot. Too many special effects, I guess when you can’t make a good movie you just pack it with special effects and hope for the best. Tim Burton should go back to claymation.

how a movie studio could allow an incredible and classic family/children's story to be turned into a horrid tim burton "nightmare before christmas" style piece of garbage is beyond me.
There's a million things wrong with this movie… depp's acting (which is usually incredible), the lack of character development, the completely unnecessary diving into the "history" of willy wonka, the new creepy/eery tone of the movie (turning a children' story into a pseudo horror flick), the sexual references (the squirrel's nuts, etc…) and so much more…
utter and complete garbage

Honestly...

Charlie, at the end of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," gets the factory and the characters don't even look like each other.
And Gene Wilder played a funnier and better character in the movie and was very wise about himself and why would Johnny Depp play as Willy Wonka? He doesn't even have a candy man voice within him.
Johnny Depp is a great actor, but in this movie, I don't think so.

Its god awful, dont buy dont rent, if someone ever shows it for free and there are free snacks, get the snacks, and get out of there fast.

Depp disappointed.
His uninspired performance is devoid of either charismatic or sympathetic appeal. At times Depp is shrill in his contrived "theatrics."
Movie overall is rigorously dark. Where is the magic?
Gene Wilder's brilliant interpretation of the character remains the standard.

Just for the record people, you wanna talk about original, then read the book. This movie goes closer to the books actual storyline. The first movie was good, but I wouldn't call it the original when this movie went more with the original book story then the first one did. I loved this movie though, fantastic job Tim, still awesome as always!!

This is completely different than the old version. It is not as interesting and fun to watch as the old one was. A movie isin't good just because of who was in it. It has to have the right scenery, and the right sort of mood. Just because, say, Oprah was in a movie doesn't mean it's gonna be good.

I hated this movie! The original was the best. The only part I liked in this movie was the end when it shows all the kids after what happened to them. Like hoe Mike TV was really tall and Violet was all Purple. That was funny, but I loved the original. The music was great and the Oompa Loompas were cool. I hated how in this one they used the same guy. That was STUPID. So don't buy this one, buy the original movie!!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has gorgeous scenery and wonderfully cast actors, especially Johnny Depp who plays Willy Wonka (amazing performance!) and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket.
