Burton's Charlie a Delectable Delight

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: Even if you're hooked on Willy Wonka, Charlie is well worth it; it gives the story added depth, and the visuals are stunning.
Review: The title scene opens darkly, in the dim lighting of Willy Wonka's factory. The camera follows the elegant, meticulous, and mechanical transformation of Wonka's legendary chocolate from liquid ooze into wrapped, solid candy bars. It's a...

The Secret Life of Chocolatiers: Psycho-Analysis and Gobstoppers

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Tim Burton's brilliant working of Dahl's classic is less about guzzling down sweets and more the intended morality play of consumption and greed from an early age
Review:
Every summer brings its bombast and FX overkill, along with a few unnecessary and languid remakes. But of the latter, it is very rare that modern Hollywood actually betters a previous attempt at a project. However, this summer there have been...

A Sticky Confection of Sweet Goodness

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Despite the silly ending, the movie succeeds thanks to Depp's weirdness and the visual extravaganza that is his factory.
Review: I was a bit worried when the 'everything that was old is new again' mantra hit the Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not because I had any special association with the Gene Wilder film treatment (especially the boring song the...

Poo disguised as chocolate

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Save your money and rent the original.
Review: Although I considered it sacrilege to make another Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, it seemed like a better antidote to a rough day's stress than eating a chocolate bar.

Then why did the movie keep me thinking so darn much?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) - A Johnny Depp Sundae with Tim Burton Sprinkles

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: I wonder if Wonka makes giant cookies?
Review: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - you know, the one with Gene Wilder - used to play once a year on TV when I was a kid. Only once, and I relished every delicious moment. Oh, the lickable wallpaper, the chocolate river, the delectable fantasy...

Returns To The Fable-Like Nature Of The Original Book

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Imaginative Version of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Children's Book That's Guaranteed To Entertain If You Don't Have a Chip On Your Shoulder
Review: Synopsis: Charlie Bucket is a good, well-mannered English boy who lives with his loving family in a dilapidated house. Charlie loves chocolate, but his family is so poor that he only gets a single chocolate bar once a year on his birthday. Even more...

Charlie Steals Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is entertaining... It's just a good movie, while Willy Wonka is a marvelous one.
Review: Like most people, I have seen the classic of 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I love it. It's a movie that's been dear to me since I was a child. Like many people. For many reasons, the film has become a beloved film among children and...

The Oompa Loompas go Broadway

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: Eating chocolate CAN have its rewards.
Review: If you remember in 1971 Gene Wilder singing sweet little songs and spouting quotes as lessons for naughty little kids then just keep on remembering that. This movie, even though it is a fun one, adds and minuses several things from the original...

Finger-Licking Good

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the few really worthy remakes - because it goes its own way, and makes choices that are equally fun and provocative.
Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has the dirty job of remaking a classic. Its makers would prefer to call it another adaptation of the classic children's book, but that's a hard sell. Everybody has heard of the film that was helmed by Gene Wilder -...

Depp Vs. Wilder Who will win?

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would watch it again, and you should too. Definitely not an every day movie.
Review: I don!|t know that it is even fair to compare the two movies. While the original is such a classic and stands as a beacon to any kid who ever wanted an !?Everlasting Gobstopper,!? the new version uses a mixture of advanced technology, and modern...
