Title: So Very Clever
Review: The 2005 version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is much easier for me to take than the original. Since we must compare the two, I will have to say that Gene Wilder's Wonka was just creepy. I can't imagine that this is what Mr. Dahl had in mind. Depp provides a mix of innocense and mischief that are truly child-like and come off as hilarious and so very entertaining. The Oompa Loompahs are no longer creepy and much more enjoyable to look at - using the same man is genius. The enire film is genius.And a huge thanks to Tim Burton for not including the weird acid trip garbage in the tunnel ride. In my opinion, that alone makes the 2005 version better than the original.
