Many thought this movie should be filed under 'never should have been remade' because the original was such a classic. During filming, even the producers and Depp were nervous about how it would be received, because it was quite an expensive movie to make and remaking a classic is a very touchy subject. Imagine someone re-making NeverEnding Story, for example. And Gene Wilder, star of the origi... read more

"Everything in this room is eatable, even I'm eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."

This new version of the classic children's fantasy book had everything going for it: Tim Burton was helming the project, Johnny Depp is in the lead role, special effects were updated and improved, a great cast and impressive produ... read more

Yet again Johnny Depp and Tim Burton created one of the best movies ever made, completely different from the original one. I still really liked the 1970s version, but this was just completely amazing to be, easily more enjoyable than the original. Johnny Depp couldn't have aced the role of Willy Wonka any better, the voice.. the look.. yes he may look a little 'different' than he normally does, bu... read more

"The original is so much better, Johnny Depp is terrible and Freddie Highmore annoying and after they leave the factory it gets a little boring, but the effects and sets are great, just as the songs and it is in fact closer to the book...Yeah, I like it..."

Underrated & Overlooked Movies (18 movies items)

"The original is way better but what exactly is so bad about the remake? It wasn't necessary but the sets are very good and look way better than the original, the songs are good, the whole film is closer to the book, the supporting cast is okay and it is enjoyable to watch. I agree that Johnny Depp was horrible."
