First of all, let me just say that I am a fan of Tim Burton's films. I love the dark Gothic themes he usually sets his films. But his version of the classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory completely ruined it for me.
Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the worst remakes I have seen. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is just terrible! And the Oompa Loompa musical numbers are horrible! Also there is no need to add the Willa Wonka back-story into the movie. I did enjoy Freddie Highmore's performance as Charlie and the other children were also good. The set design is great, the only thing Burton did get right.
Overall, this is the worse of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, both of whose work I normally enjoy. This film is a major disappointment.
