Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the worst. My kids like the original version over this POS thank goodness. Depp as Wonka was catastrophe.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the worst. My kids like the original version over this POS thank goodness. Depp as Wonka was catastrophe. I would have to mildly disagree. Like you, it sounds, I've had many many many chances to pass judgement on both*, while the Iowa grad Gene Wilder gave an overall "funnier" performance, the annoyance of polyester clad actors & outdated special effects balanced things out. So, while the recent version stayed more along the disturbing Dahl story, I think that the simple "something new" adds a bonus, where the lack of Wilder-based acting subtracts. *- Starting with: It was my daughter's first movie- that we happened to see on her 3rd birthday... No funny comments by her though.
