Some things I liked some I did not.

Excellent, a Must See

An action-packed slog

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Why dangerous? because if we call this a movie, what must we call other movies?

Although I have never watched Roald Dahl version of Charlie and the chocolate factory but I have read the book for that version. As for this movie it really lived up to Dahl's expectations the acting including David Kelly, Freddie Highmore and Johnny Depp were really good at doing there parts. Especially that cameo Christopher Lee had as Willy Wonka's dad/the dentist. This is a very fun movie to watch for both children and family. If you have not seen it yet I would definitely recommend it.

I might be in a tiny minority here, but I actually prefer 2005's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to the original 'Willy Wonka' film from the 70s. Yes, the original is considered a classic and rightly so, but there is something about this version that I love that just isn't found in the original. It remains loyal to the book whilst adding the odd new element to give it a fresh feel.I've seen this version a few times now and always enjoy it immensely. I particularly like how we learn more about the mysterious Willy Wonka character as we're taken back to his childhood. Johnny Depp is brilliant as Wonka, delivering a truly captivating performance and giving his own take on the character. 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' turned out as well as it could have for me. It was never going to please everyone, but I think this is a brilliant remake.

Very well done; well-acted, well-directed, and well arranged for the silver screen. Watching this made feel like I'm re-reading that beautiful book from my childhood. There are only two things that bugs me; one of them is very subjective; when I've read the book back in the days, I've always dreamt the the insides of the chocolate factory would have a blue sky so it would have a much more brighter atmosphere from the dark and cold city thus it would create a great contrast. The second thing that bugged me is much more objective but it's far less important when compared; the narrator appears at the beginning of the movie, establishing things just like in the book, then... he's gone. And then the appears out of nowhere. It feels a little disjointed. Burton took the source material, respected it more than any other comic or novel based production and achieved something bigger than lots of other comic or novel based movie. Well done.
