Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Johnny Depp looks totally weird in that film, he was made so pale he almost looked transparent.
Much better in Pirates of the Caribean.

yeah but the reason he had to be pale is because he never went out of the factory remember. lol yeah obviously he was gorge in potc!

Oo I went to see this yesterday! It was really good. I think some elements of it are better in the original but I think I prefer the new one. The graphics etc make it better as in the first they didn't have that very good... I love this one though and Johnny Depp does such a fab job! The character is just perfect

I saw and i thought it was good but the original feels special for some reason, it feels more amazing and fairytale like. Maybe thats because of the music. I think in the new one the flashbacks of Wonka's childhood is good coz this sticks to the book, i also like the new Oompa Loompa's and the squirrels!

No one should ever compare it to the "original" because this IS an original!
It was never intended to be a remake - it's just an adaptation of the book, and it's actually more like the book than the older willy wonka!
I am the BIGGEST Tim Burton fan possibly in the world! His work is so visually stunning, it really amazes me, and this film didn't disappoint!
I think Johnny Depp did an incredible job as Wonka, so surreal, very Burton-esque!
I also love the earlier Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, mainly because I love Gene Wilder!
I'm sorry my post is so long, I tend to rant about films (that's what happens when you become a film student )
Anyway, in short, don't mix up the two films, it's not a remake!

I liked the film personally..
I've never seen the orignal or read the book so this was a FIRST for me.
I think it was good, sure slow at times and weird at others but hats off to Tm Burton.

Love.

It.

What the hell, it's better than the original? How can you say that with Depp spurting completely bleedin' random stuff like the huge thing he goes through about beards (well, beatniks for one. Then there's bikers, and all them funky cats etc etc...) and the way he would appear completely honest and so surreal at the same time ("Oops, excuse me I was having a flashback").

Glad to see that the Burton-Depp killer combo is together once more for the upcoming Corpse Bride (which bears more than a small resemblance to the Nightmare Before Christmas).

I know it's normally gals who say this but:

I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP! AND THE DUDE WHO WROTE HIS SCRIPT!

No you fool, I'm not gay. I love him in the way men (NOT GAYS!) hug each other.

My favourite part of the film was when Wonka- donning the freaky brace- walked through the Hall of Flags. Very good.

Heh, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are the perfect combination for any film!
I really like Johnny Depp because he's a very good actor, I'm not even that much attracted to him - but wow, such a good actor!

THE NEW FILM IS MUCH BETTA THAN THER ORGINAL
