I think it's time to adress movies that shouldn't have been made. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a peice of crap that proves Tim Burton shouldn't try to do movie remakes, because Planet of the Apes didn't prove anything to him. I'll get to that another time.
First of all, Jonny Depp looks like a pedifile. I respect Depp's ability to make so many different characters, but this one was a miss. Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka clearly comes out on top, but then again I wouldn't trust him around my kids either. And why the hell weren't the Oompa Loompas orange. It was just one middle eastern guy over and over again. I'm sure they could have found enough short people to put on overalls. Not to mention, the songs sucked. Almost the entire factory was CGI, and nothing looked edible.
I just don't get it, if it's not broken then don't fix it. Although I suppose they sold alot more candy bars and Nerds when the movie came out. I hope Depp's next movie doesn't ruin my opinion on the original character, he will be playing Tonto from the Lone Ranger. We'll see.
