Dark Chocolate

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Fans of the 1971 musical version will be screaming bloody murder, but fans of Roald Dahl's twisted book will be pleased as punch and get lost in Burton's visual delirium.
Review: First of all, before I start on my review, there is one thing that I must get out of the way. This is, in no way, shape, or form, a remake of Mel Stuart's beloved 1971 musical Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In fact, the only thing that the...

Wonkalicious

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: This movie had enough of the original to do justice as a remake, and added enough script, sights and sounds to stand well on it's own. Very appealing.
Review: Although I have not seen the original movie for quite a number of years, my memory of this classic was brought to life in Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was a good remake, and the scenes and special f/x done with 21st...

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory - Burton Disappoints

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Very disappointing. Less fun than the old movie. Not much sense of childlike wonder and excitement over the candy or the factory. Kind of boring.
Review: Inevitably, the newest film adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic Charlie & The Chocolate Factory by Tim Burton will draw comparisons to the much-beloved original film from 1971 starring Gene Wilder. There's no getting around that, especially if you...

Humor. Suspense. Energetic. Fun. Leather suited oompa loompas.

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), is an amazing movie with great colorful sets, great acting, and a fast past storyline based on the novel.
Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), may be the most original movie I've seen besides the poorly reviewed Cat in the Hat (2003). The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the previews for this movie was, "Cartoony", even though its not in...

This great vehicle has a bad wheel

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Final word: I enjoyed seeing this film, but won't watch it again. Very good, but flawed by, yes, the Oompa Loompas.
Review: Preface: This review applies to the film, and not to the quality of the DVD or VHS, nor to the extras, which I did not watch. I have never read the book, and I have not seen the earlier version, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, in so many...

The Moose Hole - Peter Pan and the Chocolate Factory

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Tim Burton?s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not so much a failure, far be it from that to be sure, as it is a disappointment
Review: If you were to take a glance back upon director Tim Burton's rather humble beginnings as an animator for the Walt Disney Company, his work, albeit unaccredited, appearing in such full-length animated feature films as The Fox and the Hound and The...

Veruca's Fate

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: A fun-filled fantasy film that is worth seeing if you are a fan of Depp, Burton, or Roald Dahl. The Veruca and squirrels scene could have been more tastefully executed.
Review: Particularly with children's films should film-makers exercise utmost sensitivity since sexually inappropriate language and action somehow find their way into the movies, whether intentionally or not. As with the case of Tim Burton's Charlie and the...

Another Movie That Leaves the Greatest Book Behind

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: Don't see it, read the book instead.
Review: When I was little, my father read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory alound to me. I was overwelmed with adventure, and good writing but mostly hungry. In school I read it both in 3rd and 4th grade. Both times we watched the 1971 movie, "Willy Wonka...

Would make Roald Dahl proud

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2005
Review: I was impressed by the level of detail put into each shot. I was entertained. I am a huge fan of the original film. It was a childhood favorite. Although this remake was done well, I'm not sure it will replace the classic. The acting was wonderful,...

I love it.

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2005
Review: When I first found out they were remaking Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I fumed. My friends and I insisted we would boycott, and when the movie came out we'd go rent Gene Wilders and Watch it all night long. Then I decided to go see the...
