Charlie & the Chocolate Factory review Pt1 by Scene-Stealers

[zeroeffects88]

Not a great movie, but still probably better than the original.

[jayrusniak1]

How do you take on the performance Gene Wilder gave in the original? We know Depp can sing after he did "Sweeney Todd" but he really didn't show off any talent here. This is a commercial piece of garbage, way below the standards Tim Burton used to live up to. I'm glad Burton redeemed himself with Alice because this movie is nowhere near what it should have been. Wonka rather than being the mad genius he was in the original is personally flawed, lacking a father figure. Stupid remake

@jayrusniak1

YEAH RIGHT! I love both movies, but I just barely enjoy the Tim Burton version more, mainly because of a more detailed and elaborate story with not only the same message on learning from past mistakes that the book is known for, but also the value of family; not only subtle, but really works well. I guess its because originality is at stake in movies today, so it was nice to see something new. In other words, this movie is NOT garbage. To be fair, I also liked Alice in Wonderland.

[cpfan2]

Same thing here. Even though I loved both movies, I enjoyed the new one a little more because it added some new material so it isn't a complete rehash, as well as ended on a triumphant note and remaining as close to the book as possible. Sorry Sshelly34213, but I disagree with you.

[rekkapower]

this movie sucked more than an oreck vacuum.

[LAKSDJFLASKJF]

This movie hits 83% on rotten tomatoes.. gets a HIGHER percentage approval then 3 Potter movies and matched 1 which means it got a better review than 4 of the 6Harry Potter movies from 211 legit reviewers and these Pricks are bashing it??? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU???? The reviewers all disagree with u idiots..Are u guys fucken high or something?? this movie fucken rocked.. one of the craziest and sweetest movies you'll ever see no joke..and if youre a pothead youve seen this 37 times already lol.

[karensuki4]

ijust didnt like the oompa loompahs (damn i mssed spelled it)

[Sshelly34213]

The backstory was such SIHT, Charlie is living in abject poverty and has a hole in his roof, his dad just got fired but we're supposed to feel sorry for Depp? Oh but it's so ironic! Charlie has nothing and is happy and Depp has everything and isn't...*VOMIT

The whole Wonka needs people idea was much more subtle in the old one. Depp's Wonka is self loathing and takes his misery out on everyone.

It's been 4 years and no one remembers CC&CF, but people can quote entire scenes from WW.

[MetaPunkXP]

I thought this one was much more closer to the book, the squirrel scene wasn't in the original, they did geese cuz it was much easier. But the father-son thing was not at all in the book.

[Sshelly34213]

They add an entire Daddy issues subplot, the entire ending is different from the book.

Btw this same subplot ruins the character.

[buttholesurfer666]

Gene Wilder was all that was good about the old one.

If you'd thrown him into this one BAM!

Greatest movie of all time.

[Sshelly34213]

Are you shitting me?

They build up to every scene in this film and then let you down.

The old film builds up to each scene and then amazes you with what happens next.

The new one is completely ridiculous and destroys the character of Willy Wonka. Like Gene's Wonka would allow daddy issues to stop him from doing his thing. Depp doesn't even look like he can get up and run that factory? How is he able to take care of him and Deep Roy?

[poopyjuice6]

i hate this movie because johnny depp made wonka sound like he had sex with the oompa loompas 2. the oompa loompa songs are gayer then the old ones

[ekehs]

How?

[waroftheworlds01]

Actually, the songs in the new movie are almost word for word of the original songs from the book that both movies are based off of.

[zapperman101]

this movie is way better than the older one.

1. The older Willy Womka seemed like a pedophile

2.The older oompa loompas looked retarded and their songs were pretty much the same.

3.Johnny Depp is hilarious in this one.

4.The kids are way better in this one .

[jjmegaman90]

dude are you on fucking crack you dont appreciate a good movie you immature prick

[Sshelly34213]

Depp is hilarious to 14 year olds.

New Charlie is Jesus Christ, old Charlie was a normal human being. Why exactly do we care if New Charlie gets the factory? he's pretty content living in abject poverty with a hole in his roof, Old Charlie actually waned it.

Johnny Depp looks like a pedo and sounds like MJ.

Deep Roy is not an Oompa Loompa.

The only kids that even lived up to their predecessor were Violet and Mike, everyone else sucked. Augustus had such a small role I thought he was CGI.

[emmedaisy]

People this is not, I repeat not a re-make it is an adaption of a book. Gah I hate it when people call it a remake.

[haleighf]

to googley92 what's wrong wif old movies!?!

[artboy92]

I thought this was an amazing movie. i can see some of ur points on why not to like it however, some of the points u guys made wernt very valid.. good job though.

[freddymichaeljason]

the movie is so good but why call it charlie

[eshkabab]

because tim burton wanted to make sure it wasnt considered as a remake of the first movie

[JennieRose8]

Are you kidding? This is a great remake, and Depp is hott. :D

[AmalViolaGarland]

I think it was more like the book, but who can bare to watch this version too much when you are missing the vital character? Willy Wonka was quite messed up and nothing like he was in the books.

[gooogley92]

actually i like the charlie and the chocolate factory...waaay better[[the older one is not dat great anymore..its old!]]...i also luv da new one cuz johnny depp is in it....and he makes everything funny and enjoyable!!!!

[MiMiMimink]

I like the new one better too! Because Johnny Depp is in it! And unlike what they said, I think Jhonny Depp's Wonka is way more lovable than Gene Wilders version.

[CricketWocky]

I'll always prefer because they had the oppritunity to use the book, since the gene wilder one was rather loosly based.

[ddematteis]

Definitively incredible, Tim Burton is the best to the best!!!!
