4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, loyal to the original book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Widescreen Deluxe Edition) (DVD)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favorite books as a child, so when I heard Hollywood was making a new movie based on the book, I jumped at the chance to see it. Having seen the first Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which Gene Wilder starred in, I was a little skeptical about Johnny Depp stepping into his shoes in the new version. However, to my surprise the new version is closer to the original storyline of Roald Dahl's book. My only complaint was the look of Willy Wonka. He looked a little too eccentric for my taste, especially his flashback scenes to when he was a child. The actor who played Grandpa Joe was wonderful, but I wished Charlie had a little more personality. He was a bit dry compared to the other children who met their demises in the factory. I loved the sets with all the candy and chocolate, very creative, just as I imagined from the book. One part which I was disappointed in was the Oompa Loompas. They were only played by one character, not very original. It was a little boring to see the same person again and again. Overall this movie is great for anyone who loved the book and the original movie.

If you ever saw the original and liked it ....you will lovethis version. Ever finished a movie with a smile....this is one of them. Great sets, great casting of actors/actresses, and the hardest working actor in this movie would be the oompa /loompas character, you will believe me once you see the extra stuff they have on the dvd and how hard he worked at his part. So its a great entertaining feast for your imagination. Either you will love it....or you will hate it. I was also surprise to see the great Christopher Lee with a Role....excellent...Enjoy

People are so Picky,
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Widescreen Deluxe Edition) (DVD)
I think that all of you people who think that this movie is bad should get a life! Some people complain about the most silliest things. I for one really enjoyed the movie. The only thing that at first bothered me was how funky Willy Wonka looked. But once I got used to it I liked the way they did him. And all of those people who say that the original is better: It is good, but sometimes change is good to.
