Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Dude M — 01 Apr 2017
This is a much creepier version of the iconic children's story. Johnny Depp is just weird although he looks good and Freddie Highmore is always fantastic. It's directed in typical Tim Burton style and it's dark and a bit evil.
This is not the happy-go-lucky musical that starred Gene Wilder, In fact, there's hardly a musical number to be seen, except some bizarre Oopmpa Loompa staged scenes. It always seems like everyone was on some interesting drugs when you watch a Burton film.
