What was up with the one guy playing all of the Oompa Loompas? That was horrible! Someone else mentioned this as well -- the size/height of the Oompa Loompa kept changing. That one little scary Oompa Loompa guy ruined the whole movie for me. By the way, whoever said this movie was just like the book obviously didn`t read it, or worse, read the Coles notes. This movie is somewhat like the book but don`t kid yourself, the book is better!!!!

best movie ever

User review rating: 0 August 08, 2005

It is still a musical whoever wrote "its better than the musical version"..... ugh. Putting that aside, this movie is absolutely fantastic! Tim Burton is amazing, and he made Johnny Depp look fabulous. Whoever said Johnny was creepy in this movie, is deadly mistaken! He was amazing!

I loved this movie...great family values. Johnny Depp did a great job being Willie Wonka.

I loved Charlie and the chocolate factory. I loved how they made the umpalumpas all the same dude Deep Roy. The songs the umpalumpa sang when something happened to each kid were soooooooooooooooo funny but not as good as the original umpalumpa song.lol I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not good! Depp was creepy and the one guy they had to play the Oompa-Loompas was REALLY creepy. Tim Burton could have and SHOULD have done a much better job with this. My advice - don`t waste your time watching this, you`ll enjoy yourself much more if you read the book or watch the original version starring Gene Wilder.

I think that this movie was great. It was funny, cool, and something you can`t keep your eyes off of. Congrats to Johnny Depp and Tom Bourton. I give you five stars.:)

This movie really surprised me. After what I saw in the teaser trailer, I expected it to be disturbingly weird and stylized, and only went to see it because I`m a huge johnny depp fan. But I was proven wrong. Although it did indeed have lots of "quirky situations," it also had heart. The entire Bucket family has lovely chemistry. And Johnny Depp as willy wonka was great, and just the right amount of weird. The oompa loompas were marginally funny, but sort of a one joke ("ah ha, they`re all the same")kind of thing. Overall though a great movie. Don`t judge by the trailers, go and see it for yourself!

It was a fun and delightful film. I`ve read the book, and saw the original, and it was followed closely enough, but also had that Tim Burton appeal. Johnny Depp as always was amazing! I really felt like a hunk of chocolate when I left the theatre!

User review rating: 0 August 04, 2005

I am surprised to say that it`s almost as good as the original. Nobody can replace Gene Wilder, and Johnny Depp knew this so he took a different approach to the character and made it all his own. Successfully, at that. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a really great movie, I`d recommend it to anyone. Don`t be thrown off by the kiddy trailers, the movie is very funny and entertaining for anyone. Two thumbs up!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a great movie!!!! Jonnny Depp was a great actor as Willy Wonka

User review rating: 0 August 04, 2005

I loved it! Johnny Depp only made it better. He makes me laugh cause he`s so cute in it. I saw the movie twice in the theatre and I want to see it again...it was so much better than the first Willy Wonka.

User review rating: 0 August 03, 2005

ACTUALLY! I didnt think it was that GOOD! Johnny is my fav actor and Willy Wonka(the original) is my fav movie, but I`d say it`s not up to snuff. The OompaLoompa guy is stupid, there is only one guy and he is duplicated a million times! I can`t believe like the entire movie is computer animated! It`s ridiculous! It looked SO fake! I am a passionate movie lover, and I give this movie 3 stars...I`d say I`m disappointed in Tim Burton!

This movie was great. Johnny Depp played an intriguing version of Willy Wonka, one that was funny, mysterious, and lovable all at the same time. I also think the actor who played Charlie (Freddie Highmore) deserves praise as he warmed the centre of my heart. The oompla loopas may have been better if they were all unique, but having just one multiplied was a different take. In my opinion Tim Burton had great vision, and the directing and acting were both well done!

awesome

User review rating: 0 August 02, 2005

I thought the movie was weird. It wasn`t the greatest, I highly recommend that you wait to rent this movie. Johnny Depp did a good job on playing Willy Wonka. He was funny, but overall just really really weird.

IT was sad because of how Willy`s dad was mean. But it was good

User review rating: 0 July 31, 2005

Very different approach than one would expect for a movie based on a children`s book, but not at all different for director Tim Burton. This movie expands on the original tale my Roald Dahl adding an element of unpredictability throughout the film to keep you watching. This movie explores in more depth the mysterious and intriguing character of Willy Wonka through the wonderful writing of John August. The songs may not be as catchy, and the mono-faced oompa loompa`s may not be as unique, but the movie is definitely one of this year`s best, and you should see it if only for the performance of its actors.

I thought the movie was great - fun for parents and children. It was close enough to the original to feel comfortable, but different enough to keep you interested. I agree with some of the other comments though, my only disappointment was the oompa loompa`s - they could have done much more with them (him).

User review rating: 0 July 30, 2005

I purposely chose not to watch the old one before I watched this one cos` I`ve had enough experience of comparing original and remake and the remake is always worse. This movie is awesome!!! Tim Burton did a great job except for the opaloompas. Johnny Depp is great!! And whoever thinks that Johnny Depp`s Willy Wonka is remotely based on Michael Jackson is practically blind. I don`t even see traces of it!

it was awsome better tham the original johnny depp was incredible and freddie played a great charlie.

... (con’t) And the oompa-loompas also came up short (get it? Came up "short"? *long pause* O, nevermind) in another area, perhaps the most important one of all: they weren`t in the least bit fun. They weren`t entertaining. I don`t think the guy cracked a smile even once in the entire film! He kind of chanted but didn`t really sing, and they digitally altered his voice to be either really high or really low so that it seemed like there were a number of them taking turns. And the extent of his dancing was marching in a circle and waving his arms in the air. I think he may have hopped on one foot a few times, too.

Ok, one of the main reasons I even went to the movie was to see the Oompa-loompas, and let me tell you, I was MUCHO disappointed! First of all, thanks to lazy ol` Tim Burton we have to take the `s` off the end of that word. It`s just "oompa-loompa" now; unpluralized on account of the fact that there was only one guy who was duplicated using the computer. And even that wasn`t done very well, so it looked really bad. And then there were the outrageous size proportions! One minute, an oompa-loompa would be up to Johnny`s elbow, and in the next shot they were only up to his knee! It was quite pathetic, really. And the oompa-loompas also c

This movie kicked BUT!!!!!

User review rating: 0 July 28, 2005

Johnny Depp is wonderful, the movie is entertaining, but if you are going to base a movie off of a book, stay ture to the book, or make an original movie.

User review rating: 0 July 28, 2005

honestly I thought it was alot better than the original. anyways, i didn`t think johnny depp`s character was at all like micheal jackson. i thought he was funny.

User review rating: 0 July 28, 2005

Like many people commented, I didn`t like the Oompaloompa, and the songs weren`t good. Johnny Depp was good as Willy Wonka, but storyline wise, I liked the original much more...but it`s ture, watching the movie made me wanna eat chocolate :P

It`s wierd

Johnny Deep is as usual fantastic

User review rating: 0 July 27, 2005

This movie is one of the best movies of the year. Johnny Depp creates a wonderful character that is not only funny, but believable. Many people are saying he is creepy in this role, but he helps provide some insight into the characters inner demons and shows how socially awkward Willy Wonka is due to his seclusion. The movie is colorful, magical and heart warming with a far better story and acting than the original! 5 stars!
