Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

rowanmaillot Some people dislike how Tim Burton puts goth into fantasy movies. I mean I get it, but why does it deserve this much hate? Some people think of the first Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory and go like, 'It's a remake!' But this is a totally different thing to the first. Roald Dahl hated the first Willy Wonka movie, he said Gene Wilder sucked as Willy Wonka. If Roald Dahl lived up to see this movie he would have love it and that's that! But sadly Roald Dahl passed away on 23 of November 1990 of a rare cancer in the blood. Only if he lived up to see the hype in this movie. This movie is magical, dark and bizarre, definitely the best movie about chocolate of all time! Seriously by now, you idiots should know Tim Burton and his darkness in movies. I have been a fan of Tim for 5-6 years now, I am so used to Tim Burton's darkness that I don't really care that it's there. Goth is easily the best genre, especially with Tim Burton, the way he puts a twist into his movies it is just so great. Thanks for making this movie Tim Burton, you are the best director ever!

mbrummer-13538 Visually it's not bad, I find that the children were convincing and they played their roles just fine. Willy Wonka seemed odd (not in an entertaining way). His character seemed shallow and spouted nonsense and giggled alot. Gene's portrayal was deep, he had charisma and he was like a deck of cards. Most of all, Gene was a really good singer and that added more to his role. I give them credit, the chocolate river was pretty cool. In the 70's film, it was a dirty looking river. I watched the "behind the scenes" clips and they put in a lot of effort on working on an actual chocolate river. That alone did bump up my score higher than what I was originally going to set it. In conclusion, I thought the movie could have done better. Visually, it was pretty great and some of the roles played by the children weren't have bad either. The other roles fell much shorter. I'm giving this a 4 because it had potential but, fell short to my expectations.

o-31546 Charlie nails both the themes and spirit of the original story in a way that the previous version simply didn't manage. The book is, at its heart, a warning about materialistic excess and greed, using the Western world's slavering desire to consume chocolate as a cautionary tale of how modern society makes us lose sight of the most important things in life.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a very respectable film that does have its issues such as the lack of a darker tone and a mostly very annoying soundtrack, but the characterization and storytelling are both excellent here, the flashback structure is well handled, the humor is great and the visual effects are expectedly terrific. May be someone like it, while other one don't. Hope you can enjoy this movie. ---Yidioo

TheBlueHairedLawyer This film was released in 2005, when I was in the 2nd grade, and my father took me to the army base theatre in my neighbourhood to watch it. It was targeted at children, but I just didn't get it and still don't get it even today. It was heavily predictable for one thing; Burton casts Depp in everything and as usual Depp comes off as a creepy freak who would be better as a pedophilic mime in a back-alley somewhere waiting to pop out from behind a dumpster, than a lovable and eccentric factory owner. He terrified the hell out of me as a child and still makes me cringe even today. The CGI is incredibly tacky. To be fair most of the child actors did a good job, but their scenes are always overshadowed by Depp's annoying and sometimes cruel behaviour towards the characters. He loves children a little too much at times, other times he seems repulsed by them. His mood swings implied a mental illness, not creativity or genius. And as usual, Burton never passes up a chance to slip his wife, Helena Carter, into a role, also very predictable and obvious. Many of Burton's actors are very typecast.By far aside from Depp as Wonka, what irked me the most was the godawful musical numbers. Cross Lady Gaga with Michael Jackson, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, American Horror Story's "Freak Show" (Season 4), and Stephen King's It from the 1990's, and this film is about what you'd get. It was corny, bizarre, like the worst acid trip available. There's also a backstory thrown in for no apparent reason, maybe just as filler, which tries to give Wonka a tragic backstory of child abuse. This just comes off as incredibly silly. He acts like he has PTSD over something traumatic, but when it's revealed that his father loved him but was a dentist and simply didn't want Wonka to eat candy because he was wearing a retainer, it just makes Wonka's character seem even more spoiled and intolerable. I mean, he freakin' runs away from home over his father not letting him eat a Halloween chocolate ball? Somebody needs to grow the f*ck up in this film, and it's certainly not the kids or their parents. Actually despite the parents portrayed as meek enablers and bumbling bumpkins, they were all very likable for the most part. Their parenting skills may have been questionable but none of them seemed particularly bad, whereas Wonka sings and dances cheerfully as a little girl is shoved down a rubbish chute with a rotten fish skeleton? What the hell? Oh, and let's not forget the vulgar humour slipped into this film aimed at child viewers as well, with lines such as "don't touch those squirrel's nuts!" ...Ugh, that's just stupid.All in all, I hated this film as a kid and I hate it even more today. I've found though that it does serve at least one purpose... ever play the Willy Wonka Drinking Game? You pop this film into your VHS or DVD player, you gather up a group of friends and some vodka and shot glasses, and throughout the film, each time a person says "what the f*ck?" while viewing, they have to drink a shot. Otherwise, this film, at least in my humble opinion, is good for nothing but landfill stuffer.
