Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Matthew R — 08 Jul 2013
To adapt Roald Dahl`s beloved story is a difficult task and I am very pleased that Tim Burton`s adaption was nothing short of excellent. The characters are well portraid and the setting has that Tim Burton charm to it but still holds true to the source material.
The acting is solid and the special effects are near perfect. I also have to give a big applause to the people behind the script and screenplay. Now there is one big shortcoming in this movie that holds it back from being one of the greatest remakes in recent memory and that is the ompalompas.
The lack the charm and singing ability, sometimes they are even a bit creepy. Every time the ompalompas begin to sing it`s truly a pain to sit through. Overall an excellent movie but it could be even better if not for the ompalompas.
