Not as good as the original but still good nonetheless. Johnny Depp is really the only reason this movie was good. I think any other actor that would have played that character would have made the movie suck.

Johnny Depp played the role of Willy Wonka, and you could hardly even tell it was him, proving how good an actor he is. I did find the character a bit disturbing, but he was funny in his own unique way. The kids were all massive upgrades from the original versions, with more character and personality. Charlie however, I couldn’t stand. He was a f*cking saint in this version, while bland and too much of a goody two shoes. The set designs and visuals were the best part of this film, it all looks so wacky and fun and the chocolate easily makes you hungry. The songs were entertaining with one man playing every single Oompa Loompa, and representing different eras of old school music. And then there is Wonka’s welcome song which is so painfully catchy you’ll have to take a hammer in the head to get it out! Ugh. This film is extremely weird but fun to watch, and I’ll give Depp and Burton credit for a good remake. It’s a lot different from the original, but in a good way.… Expand

It is lighthearted and the actors did a great job of potraying the steriotypes of the children, parents, and even background characters! However, like most things, it has it's baggage. For one, some parts of the movie just feel... Weird... The cutscenes with Willy Wonka although intriguing, feel out of place and overall contribute nothing and I find myself skipping over them. Some of the characters also feel as if they should have gotten more recognition than they actually got. For example, Charlie's mom felt like she should have gotten more screen time, but I feel as if that's more of a nitpick. Despite these drawbacks, the movie holds up and deserves a 7 in my opinion.… Expand

The film does have some lovely sets and inventive visuals, the boat scene is fun if not as much as in the Wilder version, a great job is done with the Veruca Salt/squirrel scene and I liked the performances of Helena Bonham Carter, David Kelly and Freddie Highmore. But I was disappointed with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. He just lacked the charm and grace Gene Wilder brought to the character, and I don't think Roald Dahl intended a characterisation that was more Michael Jackson than Willy Wonka. Some of the cast overact, especially the girl who plays Veruca Salt, even for the character the spiteful spoilt brat act was way overdone. I liked the music score by Danny Elfman which is filled with whimsy and appealing oddballness(I much prefer his Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas scores however), but the Oompa Loompa songs were rather annoying with none of the noisy melodies memorable and were shot like a music video. Tim Burton evidently tried to make the story darker, and in some respects to the book, it didn't quite work. A good example was the case of the additional character of Dr Wonka, as much as I like Christopher Lee, and he did perform well, but his character was unnecessary, and the script with some over-explanatory narration lacked the sparkle of the 1971 film consequently. The grandparents did bring some comedy, and the movie does start off well. But the unfaithfulness of the last half, meant that the whole film felt rushed and lacking in charm and magic which the Wilder had aplenty. 6/10 Bethany Cox.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good quality of the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" lead to highly enjoyable film adaptation. Whereas a lot of on-screen versions of many different successful novels sometimes looks losing. This film to my mind the movie came out better than the book written by Roald Dahl.

Once Willy Wonka-owner of chocolate factory put 5 golden tickets in 5 chocolate bars and announced that those children who find tickets will have the opportunity to enter the factory. A real excitement begins in the world. The main character of the film is Charlie, a boy from a poor family, who lives in a small house with his parents, two grandfathers and two grandmothers. Charlie's father is fired from his job, and the family is in dire straits. In the same city is the Willy Wonka chocolate factory, where Charlie's grandfather Joe used to work. Charlie accidentally finds a ticket. He and four children - spoiled and never knew the need - were lucky to find invitations to the factory. Perhaps one of them will be lucky again, and this lucky one will receive a gift from Willie Wonka himself. But luck, finally, smiles more worthy of them was the same not spoiled boy Charlie, who received a factory as a reward for his kindness, honesty and selflessness.

In short "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is well-script, well-cast, with meaning and I can recommend them to everybody to watch with family.… Expand

It's quite a mystery that this quality has passed me by. The film won't keep you waiting long and has a fast pace. Right at the beginning, you will be greeted by a great intro preparing chocolate and then he will introduce us to the main character Karlík, although the fact is that the main one came to me Willy Wonka, who shone the most in this film. Really Johny Depp was perfect here. As the name suggests, this is a chocolate factory, which we will also look at and that it looks damn great there. Really wonderful workmanship, but that's purely my opinion. Willy Wonka, whom I have already mentioned here, will also get a few flashbacks here, which are perfect and will show us something from the past, and then the film will take and end. The ending that I will not spoiler is very successful. At least in my opinion. Of course, it's not perfect. Here and there the part where it's sung, which I don't explicitly take as a minus, but it's just not my taste and it's not much to sing, in fact I don't have to in movies at all. But I have to say that there are only a few songs here, so it didn't really bother me and I survived. Overall, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory surprisingly dare not just about chocolate, although they form a logically significant part of the film. I just want to say that the film will give us something more in the end. A great movie for me that I can recommend.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those who say the original film was better, they never read the book, aside from the dentist father part which was excellent, the movie was almost exactly the same, the Oompa Loompa single person(deep Roy) sing shortened versions of the books Oompa Loompa songs, Oompa Loompas all look the same to each other, so the original was wrong, Violet from the original looked like a blue serf board while in this movie Annasophia Robb who by the way is one of the best parts of the movie, was actually round like a blueberry!!! In the original, Charlie is yes send at after drinking the float soda, when he and his grandfather weren’t supposed, also not by the book, where Charlie wins for being honest and not a brat and following the rules, the best part of the original was gene wilder, goodbye end of story, the guy who was Charlie was ugly and talentless and over the top bad.

Freddie highmore was the exact Charlie they should’ve had in the original If he was alive back then!!! Johnny way surpassed wilder in the sense of I’m a wacky guy looking for someone to take care of his factory!! The kids, Veruca was the only kid in the original movie with the best song that she sings not the Oompa Loompas as I said before!!

All in all,

Tim Burton and the rest followed the book almost perfectly to the T!!! Me being the son of a dentist, found it relatable and hilarious!!! Great everything!!!… Expand

This is a musical fantasy comedy film directed by Tim Burton and written by John August, based on the 1964 British novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. The film stars Johnny Depp(he is my favourite actor) as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket. This film is good for all ages! Little children will see here animated movie but if you are older you can catch the main idea. The storyline is a bit unusual what make it fascinating… Firstly, children need to find tickets in chocolate. After, 4 winners is led by Wonka on a tour of his chocolate factory, the most magnificent in the world. At first sight, you don’t see any problem to walk through the factory and win the biggest prize but our guys will be tempted! I really like scenes when some of children is lose the game. It’s so funny! Also the faces of their parents who try to leave with dignity.
I’d recommend this film. The main idea is important and I believe that this film will help you to understand it! Review by Dasha, 15, Ekaterinburg… Expand

This film tells the story of Charlie Bucket, a child of modest origins who wins, thanks to a golden ticket, the possibility to visit the wonderful chocolate factory of the eccentric industrialist Willie Wonka, whose story is also told throughThis film tells the story of Charlie Bucket, a child of modest origins who wins, thanks to a golden ticket, the possibility to visit the wonderful chocolate factory of the eccentric industrialist Willie Wonka, whose story is also told through the film, which focuses action in Charlie's journey inside the factory, along with five other children and their parents. The child who reaches the end of the visit can get a prize, but each one has a weakness that will be tested in each room. The result is a series of accidents involving children, who yield to their weaknesses and vices, being readily assisted by their parents and workers of the factory, the Oompa Loopas.

This film was based on the children's novel by Roald Dahl, which already has an adaptation to the cinema dating from 1971. Anyone who has read the book or watch this movie with attention quickly notice that there is a didactic purpose behind the story. All children except Charlie, showed a character flaw, a vice or wrong behavior, and the "fate" of them is just the result of failing to resist it (two had addictions - television and chewing gum - one was greedy and another was so spoiled that no one could contradict it). Most children's stories have moral grounds and lessons to be learned, it isn't new and proves its character as a children's tale.

I think Tim Burton, director of this film, conceived it in a mistaken way. This movie seems too adult for a children's story and, at the same time, it seems too childish for a teen audience. So it ends up in a "middle ground" between them, a fact that wasn't positive. No one questions the qualities of Tim Burton, who has accustomed the public to great but eccentric films. However, his vocation isn't the children's audience. He has made animated films ("Corpse Bride" is the most notable example) but they were all directed for adults or adolescents. And this is a children's story, that would have been better in a children's movie. Maybe someone at Disney Pixar can make a good adaptation of this tale.… Expand

The new ending to the film feels forced at best. I think what people wanted was a fresh take on a old film without having too much changed, the fact is, they changed enough to make it an issue for people who held the classic in such high regards.

Many of the classic scenes were either changed or removed entirely. The Ompa Lompa songs were altered in a way I did not find enjoyable. Other times I was wondering were other scenes have gone entirely. The whole plot of Slug Worth working for Wonka. The classic scene where Charlie and his Grandfather "steal" fizzy lifting drinkings was also removed.

I have no problem with people re-imagining a classic, my problem lies with the amount of changes made.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As the lesser younger brother, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory does its job. It tells the story of the lovable Charlie Bucket but largely forgoes the Willy Wonka. What we're left with here is Johnny Depp as an unconvincing chocolatier. How are we supposed to take him seriously with his ridiculous attire and creepy mannerisms? He's giving away a chocolate factory; not running a child prostitution ring!

But forgive me, Roald Dahl. I'm not dissing your story. For what it's worth, I love the story. The chocolate and the candy and the factory was so amazing to me as a child. I loved the splendor and the fantasy that came along with it. I also loved watching this particular version as well, if even just for the opening credits. I think the movie works despite the semi-failure of one of the major characters. Each child is portrayed just as they should be with their respective flaws. They were as enthralling as they were revolting.

I also commend the cinematographer. How one manages to so accurately capture a child's imagination is beyond me, but I remember sitting in the theater in Kansas City watching this movie like it could have happened in my own head. Tim Burton creates a world with distorted humor in Willy Wonka's past and exuberant juvenility in the world he's created for the future – the factory. But of course, those still existing in that age won't notice. It's our dirty little secret.… Expand

ItA great adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory hits all the right notes along the way. Made with childlike enthusiasm and exuberance, the 2005 adaptation is gleefully weird and endlessly entertaining. It does a grab job mixing the touching scenes, funny moments, exciting scenes, and the incredibly weird, and the end result is a film that honestly shocked me. I did not expect to like this one as much as I did, but here I am praising it. Tim Burton's direction is great. The production and costume design are both top-notch as well. As for Johnny Depp, his performance is deliciously weird and he does a great job pealing back the chocolate exterior of Willy Wonka to expose his inner demons. Overall, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is actually a really good film with great production value and a great starring turn from Depp that really works as a cohesive film.… Expand

Benefited with an excellent performance from Johnny Depp and enhanced with a touch Tim Burton, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an entertaining trip to the eccentric world of Willy Wonka, which definitely surpasses the original movie.

This is so funny and heartwarming. I love the extra development behind Willy Wonka! The acting, music, and visuals are fantastic and captures the spirit of Roald Dahl better than the saccharine tone of the 70s movie with Gene Wilder.

The film is told in a dreamy sort of sense, with a mans gentle yet deep voice narrating, he explains the situation of how Wonka became a worldwide phenomenon, but faltered due to spies within his factory, but how he decides to send out five golden tickets to hold a very special tour for those lucky recipients. Charlie (Freddie Highmore) is not the most well-off of children, living with his four grandparents and his mother and father, and dreams of being one of the lucky ticket finders. Across the world, four tickets are find, and Charlie cannot believe his luck when he is the fifth and final finder, and so he begins his whirlwind journey of songs, greedy children and of course, chocolate.
The man in the top hat is played by none other than the most versatile actor of his generation, Johnny Depp, who creates one of the strangest and yet most awe-inspiring performances of his career, showing a genius we don't fully understand, a man with his own emotional grievances and family issues, a relatable man. His tour of the factory combines some beautiful scenes and even some funny sing-alongs from the Oompa-Loompas, this time played by one person in the form of Deep Roy. The film has big ideas and leaves plenty of room for some very interesting characters, and it is the child actors who are on top form in the film throughout, the confident Mike Teevee (Jordan Fry), the spoilt yet cunning Veruca Salt (Julia Winter) and the athletic and cheeky Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb). These characters have a commanding and often funny presence on screen as they explore the many wonders of the factory, a place brimming with excitement and imaginative moments at every turn, its easy to get lost in the marvel of creation at play here, and its a true delight to see such effort going into giving the film a decent story.
Closer to the source and certainly different from the original, whatever personal thoughts may go into each film, there is no denying the wonderful scope and imagination of Burton and Depp's Wonka, a crackpot genius with a juvenile personality and a flamboyant dress sense, as only a larger than life character can have, the film is much darker and tone but is definitely more suited to the current generation and style of film, definitely a creative piece through and through.… Expand

While the funny, yet not at all musically complex musical numbers are a welcome and amusing gimmick and Depp provides all-ages-entertainment at its best, very little of this movie stays in memory. The production design and the costumes are impressive, but it's the 21st century and a creative director like Mr. Burton could've really made more out of the source material. Furthermore, most of the movie's cast is miserable and extremely overacts their parts. The bad performances are also bred by the utterly silly screenplay that may contain good laughs for pre-school kids, however, is oftentimes boring and really cheaply written. I can't help myself but think that Mr. Burton didn't even utilize half of the potential that the original story has. But besides that, it's a very enjoyable family movie that has truly humorous scenes for both kids and adults.… Expand

TheTim Burton is a master at constructing brilliant and unique films that boggle the mind and defy all beliefs there films that deliver a bold new twist each time but what makes Burton a master is his attention and devotion to his story. The detail and meticulous design of the sets, the costumes, the atmosphere of his films and how they all in some strange way impart a certain message of sorts that has a bizarre connection to real life. Tim Burton's 2005 adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved children book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" has a method to its madness and a meaning to its story. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is one of Burton's best films since Big Fish and Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burton's take on the legendary tale of eccentric chocolate maker Willy Wonka and young dreamer Charlie Bucket is a film of meticulous design, it is meant to be a children movie but "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" plays out better as a quirky adult fantasy adventure with a PG rating. Burton doesn't spare any detail he uses all his style and energy to create the bleak world of Charlie Bucket and all his imagination and light hearted enthusiasm to make the beautiful chocolate factory of Willy Wonka, it's astounding how it works, how it moves along flawlessly telling it's story and just wowing the audience in each and every scene. It is not a cheap exploitation flick with a famous name slapped on it it is a story about a person, a place and a situation that comes to be fall that person (Freddie Highmore). Burton has not only updated a classic story for a modern generation he has effectively made a film that is both true to his quirky style and mainstream enough for modern audiences, It's one of the best films of the last decade and also one of Burton's very best. The film only works whether you believe in what you are seeing; it succeeds on how you look at it if you look at it with a cynical point of view than this film will be a terrible time and a complete waste of money to you. However, if you keep your eyes open and your mind clear of any doubt than this film will work wonders on your soul, your imagination and your imagination.

The oompa loompa songs actually have Mr. Dahl's lyrics in them(I love Mike TeeVee's song!)!! Willy Wonka was described as looking like a little devil...Johnny wasn't given the pointy beard, but he did his acting how he though ROALD would like it! I also love how they included the castle made of chocolate, that was my favorite Grampa Joe story. For those of you talking about how much Johnny sounded more like Michael Jackson, I will agree...he does, but as I told my mother, there is a difference: Wonka doesn't LIKE children, where as Mr. Jackson...well, you know.
