Re: charlie and the chocolate factory -- who's seen it?
Sat, July 16, 2005 - 10:20 PMI saw it at IMAX yesterday (for my birthday) and loved it!
I tried really hard not to compare it to the original, but I would occasionally. I want to see it a second time so that I will just compare it to itself.
I love Danny Elfman, just so you are all clear on that! :) -

Sun, July 24, 2005 - 7:13 PMI thought it was great. Very different than the first one, but this one followed the book so closely that I loved it even more.
i thought the backstory on Wonka was very interesting and perfect for the future Wonka.
Johnny Depp was great, of course. A little wierd, but who cares.
The Oompa Loompa songs were awesome. I know the lyrics came directly from the book but what Danny Elfman did to them was great. (I agreew ith you Annetastic)
All in all, i was prepared to not like the movie and I really enjoyed it. Laughed a lot. Just wish there were more candy scenes. (I love candy), but I guess there were enough. I just wanted more.
I recommend this one to anyone who loves Charlie. -

Sun, August 7, 2005 - 6:33 AMSaw it at a drive-in last night with the kids.
I have to say, in my opinion, I like the origianl better.
I love Depp but he this vision, or feeling kept coming across to me.....He seemed like- Mr. Rodgers doing trip. I mean, didn't he sound like Mr. Rodgers??

Mon, August 8, 2005 - 8:42 AMI have finally seen it, at IMAX! I was skeptical... but I have to say that I was thoroughly blown away by the art direction, sfx, casting! And, it did follow the book much more closely. I liked Depp's interpretation, you got more of a sense of Wonka's backstory (and of course the flashbacks did help) in his performance, although the Michael Jackson similarities were entirely too difficult to ignore (not on purpose?? Maybe...). Brilliantly done.
I have to say that although I will always have a soft spot for the Gene Wilder version, this one takes the cake. -

Mon, August 8, 2005 - 1:36 PMOh, I am sure that the Michael Jackson similarities were intentional! So creepy!
I still don't want to compare the two. They are so different. Both are great!

Sun, December 17, 2006 - 12:43 PMI know this is a little late, but I just joined and I want to tell why I haven't seen it till now.
I saw the trailer when it first came out and the characters didn't match my imagination of them. That's all, hehe, cheers.
