Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Matt B — 21 Jun 2015
Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is absolutely FANTASTIC until we enter the factory. It goes a little downhill from there, mainly because Johnny Depp is SO. FRICKIN'. CREEPY. Then again, Roald Dahl's story has always been a little creepy, the idea that a group of bratty children getting locked in a factory with a man and his oompa loompas....
If you ignore the miscast Depp, you'll really enjoy this film. Visually it's absolutely breathtaking and it has plenty of heart. Freddie Highmore is delightful as Charlie Bucket.
