Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” isn’t all sugar and sweetness, though. Burton doesn’t quite maintain the sense of wonder and mystery that overwhelms the first two-thirds of the film, and the last act feels like Burton is fishing for ideas. Also, the exploration of Willy’s family problems isn’t really handled with much success, leading to a somewhat weak ending. Still, the film is chock full of eye candy and the script has plenty of twisted humor to satisfy even the most salty viewer. Burton does a very good job of balancing the macabre with the jaunty to create a curious confection that’s sweet, yet just sour enough to make you give it a second taste.

it's really funny amusing any one if any age would like it , and my favorite thing about it is the chcolate the amounts o chocloate in this movie is amazing i was drooling half the movie if u want to sto eating chcolate for some reason watch this i promise u will regret the day u thought about thinking of not eating chcolate

As a fan of the book and not so much a fan of the Gene Kelly version, I was looking forward to seeing how Tim Burton, my favorite director would adapt this classic story.

This version is excellent. The colors, the costumes, sets, actors, story everything is great! It's also nice to Helena Bonham Carter (Burton's partner) make an appearence in the small role of Charlie's mother. Great movie that everybody can enjoy!

Director Tim Burton brings his unique vision and sensibility to Roald Dahl's classic children's story in this lavish screen interpretation. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) is the secretive and wildly imaginative man behind the world's most celebrated candy company, and while the Wonka factory is famously closed to visitors, the reclusive candy man decides to give five lucky children a chance to see the inside of his operation by placing "golden tickets" in five randomly selected chocolate bars. Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), whose poor but loving family lives literally in the shadow of the Wonka factory, is lucky enough to obtain one of the tickets, and Charlie, escorted by his Grandpa Joe (David Kelly), is in for the ride of a lifetime as he tours the strange and remarkable world of Wonka with fellow winners, media-obsessed Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), harsh and greedy Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), and ultra-competitive Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb). Over the course of the day, some of the children will learn difficult lessons about themselves, and one will go on to become Wonka's new right hand. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also stars Christopher Lee, James Fox, and Noah Taylor; the book was famously adapted to the screen before in 1971 under the title Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder as the eccentric candy tycoon.

i seriously don't remember how many times i have seen this movie. i have no idea why people don't like it so much. people literally have negative things about this movie but i really like it. i am quite satisfied with this film and what Tim Burton made it to be. i may have complaints with some of his movies like Alice In Wonderland but this was really lovable good movie. this may not be flawless but still good. i haven't seen the original movie and i have heard so many times that it is much more accurate to the book. and also much more visually appealing.

this is a very fun filled, dark, creepy, weird, musical fantasy adventure movie for kids and families that you will love to watch over and over again. this is one of Tim's best. i loved the special effects though much of it was original but i like some of the effects. also the costumes, make up was good. art direction and cinematography was spectacular. songs weren't memorable but score was good.

Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka may not be very likable to me but he was just fun. i am not gonna criticize or say bad things about his performance but it wasn't impressive. he looked good and did a fine job but it just was not working for me. though i like to see him in these kind of parts. Freddie Highmore was really good and lovable he gave a nice performance. other children were nice too. every actor did a fine job and i liked how Tim showed each and every characters.

plot is nice and screenplay have bit of weak points. but its very visually appealing and quite adventures. not very fast paced or something.

story is about this child Charlie Bucket who is very poor and everything. Willy Wonka who has this biggest Chocolate factory arranges a visit of 5 random children who find these 5 Golden Tickets and will visit his factory. Charlie's luck is very strong since he out of nowhere accidently finds one. they visit this factory but the bad and disobeying children one by one faces certain consequences and the end one will receive a special prize. and the story goes on.

movie is funny and very silly too but that makes it so good. not a classic but a good movie to watch.

This is the first movie where I got to know Freddie Highmore, I absolutely adore him, a very gifted British actor. Johnny Depp plays a out of ordinary role as always in this movie. Although I watched this remake before the original version I am still deeply in love with this movie, especially with Willy Wonka and Charlie.
