Charlie and the chocolate factory (2 Viewers)

[payafee]

i really enjoyed this film even though ive never read the book. i thought it was quirky and different than your usual run of the mill family films. Willy Wonka is an eccentric and twisted character but there are moments when you really feel for the guy. Johnny Depp just nailed it even when he's dressed like Marilyn Manson and has a resemblance to Michael Jackson, he is still so attractive. i loved how they zoomed into his face and showed the flashbacks to his childhood... hilarious!! the only thing that ruined the movie for me were the oompa loompas.

 

[MoNNiE]

haha yeah!!
i saw it yesterday..
when i saw the oompa loompa's i went oooh wtf@-@
i prefer the orange green ones!! at least they were abit more taller!

 

[Genesys]

The puppet Hospital and Burns centre was a classic...it made my movie. You gotta appreciate the fact that Johnny Depp can make any character excitingly creepy.

I am going to learn the oompa loompa dance routines and embarass myself at the formal

 

[SiZmOs]

the oompa lumpa (singular) sucked, but I must say johnny depp can pull off anything.
3.5 out of 5.

 

[PerfectByNature]

yup, the oompa loompas were crap... they were just stupid.

Johnny Depp is the sex... you cant go past him...

 

[cro_angel]

Gosh, you really come out of the movie craving a wonka bar hahaha.
I thought it was really good, I loved the dances that the Oompa Loompas did hehehe. Johnny Depp was pretty creepy as well, but like others mentioned, he really suited what the character was supposed to be (unlike the original movie).
I recommend it to all!

 

[~ForAGoodCause~]

Gosh, you really come out of the movie craving a wonka bar hahaha.

hehe yeh i came out wantin to buy a wonka bar as well.

i enjoyed the movie, except for the oompa loompas like other people have said. Also, they cut out the scene where charlie and grampa joe drank that drink that makes them fly... i cant remember if that was in the book though...

 

[jebbie]

I love Depp and thus loved the movie. I will watch it many times over like most Depp movies.

oh well in that case it follows the book!

It follows it more but its different for sure. Or maybe my memory is bad D:
DEPP FOREVER <3<3

And also he didnt give them the everlasting gobstoppers. And also Im pretty sure Depp's Dad wasnt in it either (the book) Not too sure, as I said, havent read it in ages and my memory is vague..

 

[glycerine]

I thought it was fucking awesome. Loved every minute of it. Full marks from me.

PS. Some of you should try reading the book before judging this and you'll see how it's infinitely inferior at, you know, telling the story

 

[Lundy]

Well I loved it. There were a lot of piss-funny lines that somehow went right over the heads of most of the audience I was with. And the oompa loompa songs were catchy.

I'm not a huge fan of so much CGI though. I hate when they try to digitally recreate human characters in movies. Ugh.

 

[mishka]

I thought violet's mum was cool, she was so familiar from somewhere (other movies) but cant quite remember. Besides that i thought da Oma Loompas were cool, even being played by one person, i thought it was cool seeing the same guy over and over again with different looks (and sounds etc).

Murf

I know where you might have seen Violet's mum... wasn't she that bad lady in one of the Beethoven movies?? (I remember the chin )

I enjoyed the sarcasm in this one and the special effects were heaps better than the original movie. I liked Charlie's grandfather (I've seen him somewhere before, too!)

 

[Sarah168]

okay, i just watched and suprisingly I LIKED IT!!!!!!!

i thought i was gonna be the absolute purist and say "noooooooo gene wilder!!!" but I thought it was very cool. And yeah, i noticed the androgyny in johnny depp but he was so quirky and funny (gene wasn't really funny) and i like that! i loved the part when charlie decided to stay with his family and willy stepped into the elevator. his expression

i loved the cannibalism quote! and the "no offence..." "none taken...jerk!"
and when violet hugged him and he went
and i loveeed the new grandpa and mr bucket and mrs bucket...i really really like the new grandpa joe!

the only thing i didn't really like were the oompa loompas...

the different songs were cool. hahah beatles

 

[mishka]

lol i looked it up

...

Missi Pyle

thanks murf... so it wasn't from beethoven.... but I recognise her from Home Alone 4 now I knew she was some bad lady

<3 you avatar

i started laughing my head off when he the grandpa did that little jig haha

 

[jebbie]

but i liked Mike Teavee's mum being more of a smartass, compared to a dumb / dopey nerdy weirdo like in this one.

In my opinion I thought this added to the movie. Considering it was a more realistic parent for such a kid as that. They already have the mother pushing their child into stardom with Violet's mum, they had the parents who pandered to their children, Veruca's dad and Augusta's Mum, so it showed another parenting style which would still allow a child to get out of hand/develop bad personality traits/qualities.


Haha Im obsessed. I love that movie though.. especially Johnny Depp <3

"Everything in this room is *eat*able. Even I'm *eat*able. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."

johnny depp played willy wonka so much better, he also had a dark mysterious side but the loving side.

 

[Lundy]

I don't think Depp played him better. He played him differently, put his own unique spin on the character. Gene Wilder was great in his own right. I loved Depp's kookiness though.

 

[julius]

Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is far superior to Wilder's.

 

[PerfectByNature]

definitely... thats the way Roald Dahl made him... weird... but then all of Dahls characters were weird
