Movie Review
Grade: B-
Sometimes funny, sometimes flat, Tim Burton's take on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is notably darker than the Gene Wilder originally, but, while imaginative at times, it never is fully entertaining. Read the full movie review

Great Movie!, by Bruce
January 1, 2006
I thought that this movie was magnificent! The Oompa-Loompa songs were much better, each one has its own thing going on. I enjoyed that the movie focused on the four other children rather than Charlie, because they are much more interesting and funny. Johnny Depp is a way better Willy Wonka than the other guy, who I always thought was scary and got angry to easily. I give this an A+!
