"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" 7/10
Not one of Burtonīs best, but at LEAST as good as the original.
I liked how Burton made the Willy Wonka character a little deeper by digging up his childhood to explain his weird personality. The original didnīt.
But the absolute best in this movie (And iīm sure alot of adults will agree) was Deppīs performance as the super eccentric Willy Wonka wich, of course, was absolutely outstanding. Though i have to say that Gene Wilders performance as a more insane Willy, in the original, was just as impressive.
The children (Including the main character) and parents in both versions was equally annoying. And a thing that buged me a little was the parents lack of effort to help their own children. That was just so unnatural.
But itīs always facinating to see Burtonīs fairytale universe.
