Synopsis

Take an unforgettable, uniquely magical journey through director Tim Burton's deliciously delightful, whimsically wonderful world of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

When eccentric candy man Willy Wonka promises a lifetime supply of sweets and a tour of his chocolate factory to five lucky kids, penniless Charlie Bucket seeks the priceless golden ticket that will make him a winner. Thanks to his Grandpa Joe, Charlie gets the prize of his dreams! But a far more wonderful surprise than Charlie ever imagined awaits him.

In a land of chocolate waterfalls, giant lollipops, edible flowers and, of course, Oompa Loompas, it's nonstop, mouth-watering fun in the timeless fantasy Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

not as good as original

I did enjoy the film but prefer the original. I didnt like the oompa loompa's songs as much as those in the original. The special effects were good but I felt willy wonka himself was a bit sinister and creepy, lacking the charm of the original portrayal. I definitely recommend the original to anybody who has not seen it.

For those who are unfamiliar with the plot (seriously, where have you been for the last 30 years?), the film follows the story of a young boy who wins a chance to experience the weird and wonderful world that is Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Burton’s modern version retains much of the magic that Gene Wilder and co. delivered all those years ago. Full of outlandish colour and quirky songs, this is a delightful helping of cinema that is best enjoyed on the big screen. Despite its irresistible charm, the film still fails to live up to its illustrious predecessor. While Johnny Depp is a worthy understudy, he cannot top or even compare to the brilliant performance that Wilder delivered in the initial offering. Although an enjoyable watch, for a truly captivating fairytale – watch the original.
