Summary: Great condition... bought for my neice
Comment: The packaging for the product was good and it seemed to be in good condition. The movie is pretty good I'd seen it before, definitely different from the original movie, but definitely funny. Johnny Depp has such a range as far as actors go.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun to watch
Comment: Remakes rarley are as good to me as the original, but this one is good and I didn't find myself comparing them too much. And this one is actually a lot closer to the story that is in the book. I recomment both book and this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding flick!
Comment: Johnny Depp is perfect as the "eccentric" candy man. Deep Roy and the rest of the cast are terrific too! And the music and CGI are perfect. What a fun, relaxing experience. Willy Wonka was always a childhood favorite, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory totally outdoes "WW". You'll be in for a treat!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Way better than the Gene Wilder version
Comment: Okay, let me get this straight. Here are pros and cons of the film:
Pro:
-It's more like the book than the 1971 version (for example, the scene where Veruca goes down the garbage chute, in the book there are squirrals, not geese that lay golden eggs! How stupid can one be?!)
-It actually shown where the Oompaa Loompas lived at
-It shows the toothpaste factory where Charlie's dad worked at.
-Two words: Tim Burton.
-It showed what Willy Wonka's childhood was like (I would hate having those braces and a psychopathic dentist for a father)
-It's actually called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (it makes it sound like Willy found a golden ticket)
-The visuals were amazing.
-The songs were right.
Cons:
-Veruca wasn't bratty enough (to tell you truth, I prefer the 1971 version of Veruca)
-Mike Teavee didn't play video games (I guess they wanted to make it more modern)
-Stupid people think that Willy Wonka is based off of Michael Jackson. It is not, you brainless people!
Other then that, I'm fine with this movie. I saw this twice when it came out in theaters. I can't wait what he does to Alice in Wonderland (which is btw, my favorite book).

Summary: Reminds you why Tim Burton movies used to be events
Comment: After Mars Attacks, which I saw but didn't like, Sleepy Hollow, which I caught on video and didn't like, and Planet of the Apes, which I saw in the theater and wanted to like but in the end couldn't, I had kind of forgotten how great a director Tim Burton could be. Ed Wood was a great movie, but where was Burton the bold, entrancing visual stylist? The Burton of Beetlejuice, and especially the first Batman film, which totally captured my imagination (and I believe still looks better than the Nolan remakes)? The idiot-savant (have you heard him try to string a sentence together?) whose movies promised - and more importantly delivered - visual experiences unlike any other in cinema?
Well, wherever that man went, he is back with a vengance on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a film so effortlessly charmed and weirdly magical in the patented Burton-esque manner, that it can comfortably take a position at the pinnacle of his catalogue along-side Batman and Sweeney Todd. It's better than the 70's Willy Wonka film, and features another remarkable performance from Depp that is fey, keeling, and pretty cool - very offbeat, yet somehow true to the darker elements of the character's essence.
