I prefer the Gene Wilder original flm version. I love Depp in all of his other films but he wasn't his usual quirky self in this new Burton flick. He seemed too constrained by his neat bob. The umpa- lumpa music sequences livened things up but I couldn't give two toffees really to the characters, the brats didn't seem annoying enough and I didn't feel sorry enough for Charlie.
Here's what Burton said
Burton soon declared that his version would be darker than the 1971 movie.
"I don't want to crush people's childhood dreams, but the original film is sappy," Burton said.
"I responded to the children's book because it respected that children can be adult, and I think adults forget that."
As he began to create a 192,000-gallon chocolate lake to engulf character Augustus Gloop, and training 40 squirrels to pounce upon Veruca Salt, Burton said the new film would feature "a sort of foreboding".
"Very sinister things are very much a part of childhood," he said.
It was a sentiment that even Roald Dahl would have approved of.
mmmm I'm not so sure
Seen any good films lately?

I mean't I don't think Dahl would have found this film sinister enough.
Edward Scissorhands has alot more depth and weirdness going on.
Thanks for dropping by, you've cheered me up. I was actually contemplating giving Goldie the big heave-ho yesterday and letting her go to be free, but I think it was just time of the month blues.
