I love Grandpa Joe in the 2005 version. He's so damn adorable! I like both films for different reasons. Fun fact, the actor who played Grandpa Joe in the 71 version went on to voice Amos Slade (the hunter) in Disney's the Fox and the Hound which Burton helped animate.

Huh. That's a favorite movie and I knew Jack Albertson did the voice but didn't know that about Tim Burton

The 2005 isn't even a remake of the 1971 film! It's another adaptation of the book

[@TheNotverysocial]

More people should upvote this. This film wasn't perfect, but it did some things better than the "Original". One of them was giving proper screen time to the supporting characters and making them somewhat deeper and not having them abruptly disappear and have no final scene. Another was giving the film something more of an earned conclusion as opposed to tapering off.

[@markcarpenter6020]

A more faithful adaptation of the book. Wanka in the books was not a loveable eccentric. He was borderline insane and more than a little creepy.

[@gerardhiggins4827]

Either way it wasn’t a very good movie and Depp was totally miscast as Wonka ,Wonka in the book was an old eccentric big blue eyed gentleman who was a bit creepy so Wilder was perfect for the part.

[@tgiacin435]

For me, having read the book, and see both versions, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Personally I tend to favor the Burton one more be a they managed to capture just how huge the factory is. Willy Wonka I felt should have Depp’s look, but also certain personality aspects of Wilder’s minus the psychotic parts. For me, the original felt too much like how the mgm wizard of Oz felt. Making it a musical, and tweaking plot elements. While the remake I would compare to how return to Oz captured the tone to that of the book.

Michael Jackson is actually a good starting point since he was trying to do the book wanka. The book wanka wasn't a loveable eccentric he was kinda creepy, disturbing, and borderline insane.

@@StrongandStable17 Yeah, but that is one particular one everyone continuously harps on every inconsistency with the source material, and no one is permitted to go into it blind. Every comment always says "It's not like the book at all!" Yet with Dahl adaptations, many saw the films without ever having encountered the source material, and people allow them to be seen on their own merits or failures alike. Also, *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, BFG,* and *The Witches* are erroneously called remakes of the previous films, and that is not the case at all, as they are based on the same material the first films were. If the film came first then got novelised, or never did, that would be another story. Original screenplay.

The fates of the naughty children. All these things were only spoken of in the original due to cost or effects. It was a brilliant decision to have Grandpa Joe work for Willy Wonka.

As much as I love Johnny Depp as an actor, Gene Wilder IS Willy Wonka. It was one of the most iconic roles in his career. Like Johnny Depp is as Captain Jack Sparrow. No one can play those roles except for them. I think Johnny still did a decent job though because he took a totally different interpretation on the character. The 1971 version is superior in my opinion. Especially when it comes to the score and songs. The songs from the original are so memorable and I still know them by heart to this day. Pure Imagination literally sends chills of nostalgia through my spine. The ones in the remake I don't remember at all and I've seen both many times.

[@markcarpenter6020]

Depp is closer to the book wanka than Wilder was. Not arguing which is better just pointing it out.

Unpopular opinion but I thoroughly enjoyed the 2005 film. I grew up having seen Gene Wilder, and loved the original film, but I am one for rediculous and stupid humor, also I'm just as socially awkward and weird as JD's take on the role. Even if the film is lackluster that Johnny's in, I always enjoy his performances regardless.

Well actually, the remake is supposed to make the audience feel as awkward and uncomfortable in an unpredictable way like how the five children react to Wonka as if we are in the movie with them. Hint: The Wonka's Welcome Song scene that parodies "It's a Small World".

[@darianstarfrog]

[@bijanthegr91]

Since I grew up with the original, and among other classic films, this remake didn't held my interest and that's mostly because it didn't feel uplifting and felt kinda underwhelmed. I'll be honest, I never read the book and if I did, I'd probably be mixed about it, but since I watched Willy Wonka, the songs and characters will always stick with me. I felt kinda bad that Tim doesn't have any original ideas and even if he does, I don't think anyone will give them a chance because after all the shitty Remakes and shitty adaptations. This film just makes me cringe when I see his name on the credits, and I instantly know its gonna be bad, and won't out due the originals. Gene Wilder to me, is a lot more creative and definitely a guy I can idolize, so sorry Johnny I just like Gene Wilder a lot more.

[@markcarpenter6020]

You can give burten crap for making a bad movie but not for the ideas in it. He was actually Making it as close to the book as he could. In the books wanka is borderline insane and kinda creepy. The author of the books normally wrote x rated novels (pretty weird and trippy ones). And even snuck dirty jokes into the willy Wonka. The line "the snozz berries taste just like snozz berries" for example, Snozz berries is slang for a dude's balls.

[@luchia21100]

I genuinely love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory more than the original. The one thing I'll give the old one is Gene Wilder was a great Willy Wonka but I love Johnny Depp's version, I think his awkwardness is hilarious and relatable. I don't think him needing the cards or repeating himself means he's stupid, in my opinion it just highlights his social awkwardness even more insinuating he doesnt know what to talk about with people to the point he repeats himself cause he has to reuse previous topics.

[@tgiacin435]

His plan was to get to know the kids, and choose his favorite.

[@KaijuRider486]

It annoyed the hell out of me when he said casting Deep Roy as every Oompa Loompa was done out of “laziness” despite being documented as one of the biggest challenges of the movie’s production. Burton *easily* could have filled every single one of those spots with a different actor but casting Roy as all of them was very clearly a stylistic choice and it astounds me that you somehow cant see that.

[@Elizabelle79]

Burton has run out of ideas, and Depp's continued partnership with him just produces a weird, slightly effeminate guy with pale skin and a weird voice, who makes his sad way through a weird, cartoon set, with no depth to the story and no character development... just weird for the sake of weird... using famous titles to sell tickets to the same old crap.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

I don't mind weird for the sake of weird. The problem is that it's done for money. Compare this to stuff like Tim And Eric, Lalala, and The Eric Andre Show. THOSE are weird be weird. But stuff like 2005 Wobka, and Most of TB's stuff clearly tries to appeal to the dark, moody, Hot Topic crowd.

[@Speculativedude]

Doug Walker had a good point about the movies, the first movie was called "Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory," but it focused more on Charlie. Where as this movie "Charlie and the chocolate factory," focus more on Willie Wonka. And yes I do know that the book was called Charlie and the chocolate factory.

[@enzoatreyuarista2515]

The reamke wonka is actually a genius in his own way like finding about an uncharted country just for more weird yet delicious flavors for his sweets, understanding and communicating easily with the oompa loompas and knowing that they worship cocoa beans he used his chocolate to gain theyre trust, and even being able to create magical flavorful lifeforms like baby chocolate birds or making a reality warping teleportation portal technology and even warping on how normal humans know science and be able to create some weird candies from mixing chemicals and having some overkill yet kinda desirable results

[@ashhabimran239]

Disagree with everything you said. I much prefer this movie, and not just because it's more faithful to the book. People need to stop looking at this as a remake of the first movie and more as a re-adaptation of the same BOOK. This movie honestly felt like it was trying to right the mistakes of the first film and actually trying to adapt the book instead of being a commercial masked as a movie. I prefer the grungy edge of this movie to the fairy tale nature of the first, even the variety in the Oompa Loompa song genres stand out and aren't just the same damn song copy-pasted with a few changes. Putting the songs side by side, you honestly convinced me the newer songs are BETTER and catchier. Evil kids aren't as developed? Is this a joke? The original characters feel so flat and one-dimensional and the new characters have personality beyond their main ones and interact with others more. Even the fact that they're nastier in this version honestly makes them more interesting. The grandparents beyond Joe also have life to them, you be forgiven for forgetting the other three grandparents even existed in the first movie (even Augustus wasn't too memorable in the previous one). This movie also has an epilogue and more complete ending, plus Wonka's backstory was a neat touch. And I could go one about why this is the superior version, but I'll let a channel named Media Mementos explain. Seems like the only reason the original is praised more is because of nostalgia and because it's the oRiGinAL (one which people overlook the flaws of). The absolute nerve to say one Oompa Loompa is lAzY when it was actually really exhausting for Deep Roy to have to film each individual shot to not use CGI, and that they were described as the exact same in the book

[@AcceptedAlexander]

I like the format of this show: funny scenes with Andy's alter egos giving their opinion and occasional sketches mixed with the actual review.

[@TheNotverysocial]

@Brandon Spain S/he never said that. S/he stated a fact, but said nothing about an opinion on the actual film. And honestly this is far more harsh than most tend to be on this film. Most will usually say it's not the worst, it just doesn't measure up to WW. I thought the Oompah Loompah songs in the old one were annoying. The other songs in both films were much better. It takes skill to write new melodies rather than reuse the same one three more times. The child roasts in the old one often seemed like random singing and poems like the ones Wonka would often recite throughout more so than proper musical numbers like the rest of them.

[@curtthegamer934]

3:55 There's no suspense and excitement because it's supposed to shock Charlie when he opens the bar and finds the ticket. In the book, hes forgotten about the ticket search. In the movie, he thinks all the tickets are found already. He's genuinely surprised to see the ticket there.

Even using Deep Roy as each Oompa Loompa was far more difficult than just casting a bunch of little people for the role considering Roy's each individual movement for the songs had to be timed perfectly so they would be in sync.

Man I have to thoroughly disagree when it comes to the Oompa Loompa songs. Granted, this is just my opinion, but even as a kid I always felt the Oompa Loompa songs in the original were more annoying and repetitive than anything. Having read the book before seeing either version, I personally also didn't like that I didn't get to hear the original lyrics in the Gene Wilder version. I think Danny Elfman's songs are hella creative and love the fact that they have their own unique spin on them. Also, the rock song and the whole concert/Gene Simmons bit actually works well considering that it's Mike Teavee's song si it would make sense that that one would be filled with random pop-culture references, obnoxious music-video-style shots and editing since obviously he's glued to the TV.

PUH LEASE! The remake was JUST as creative as the original. I know it had its flaws, but at least it stayed true to the story. The Fizzy lifting drinks in the original was pointless. The songs (Oompa loompa songs) were the same. Whereas the remake stayed true to the book

[@ExSkitzophrenic]

wlliamson53 The fizzy lifting drinks were added so as to give a reason for Charlie to be initially denied the lifetime supply of chocolate. For which he redeems himself by giving Wonka back the ever-lasting gobstopper. Otherwise Charlie would have simply walked out the door with the gobstopper proving that he was unworthy of the ultimate prize. The act of giving Wonka the gobstopper distinguishes Charlie from the others. That is why it was added. Besides, the remake was mainly a CGI showcase with very little soul, dull characters and a generally unlikable Wonka, completely void of the charm that made the original the wonder it is today.

wlliamson53 Johnny Depp sucked and the dentist story was boring, as was Charlie. "It was closer to the book so it's better!" 1. Not a valid argument. Shut up. 2. The dentist story wasn't even in the book.

[@KaraMorassco]

When I heard the title I was thinking it was going to be Charlie's character all grown up and in control since Willy gave it to him at the end of the original. So I had watched it (regrettibly) with my best friend (she didn't like it, I liked it LESS than she did). It was terrible from beginning to end. Johnny Depp is a great actor but this was complete garbage and insulting to a CLASSIC movie. And a very bad choice for his movie roles. I had forgotten about it until I saw you had a review on it. I loved your review for it. RiP to the genius who brought the amazing character to life, Gene Wilder.

So, just got done watching this review of yours. While I do in some aspects appreciate the remake a lot more (I prefer that it's closer to the book, and darker in overall tones), you do make some excellent points. I think in fairness, I prefer the message behind Mike TeeVee here than in the book or the original film, since the original message behind him was 'too much tv rots the brain'; whereas here, it's more of a general 'Don't be a know-it-all smartass punk'. I do enjoy the songs in both films, though I agree the original songs are far more memorable and easier to quote. Overall, while I do enjoy the remake more, I rather enjoyed hearing your thoughts and views on this.

@@jeremyusreevu237 What makes Gene Wilder so much better than Roald Dahl? They both brought joy to the world and piqued the imaginations of children, and I don't think anyone should take such personal offense to Burton's film, and this critic clearly took it far more personally than Doug did, like it murdered his whole family. I read/saw all three versions of this story, and love the lot of them. Bobsheax and Bandgeek both made far fairer and less biased criticisms of this. Even the guy you mentioned was willing to throw a bone to this film.

[@TheNotverysocial]

Furthermore, everyone who calls this a remake of *Willy Wonka* rather than another adaptation of Dahl's novella is either a fool or a blatant liar who no one should listen to. Both films are based on the same book. Bandgeek, Bobsheax, and ThatFellowCoat and Doug Walker to a lesser extent all have far more integrity than this critic. They did not tell blatant lies or make undue attacks on Roald Dahl's character.

The 2005 film isn't a remake of the 1971 film, they're both adaptations of the same book. Tim Burton even went to great lengths to make his version different from the 1971 version by being far more faithful to the book.

[@samanthaspacey5330]

This movie was awful! It was a Tim Burtonized creepfest that will never measure up to the original! I hate how Burton puts his wife or Johnny Depp in almost every movie. The movies all have wacky bright colors and creepy sets. This works in some movies but didn't work in this movie or the "Alice" movie. Older Burton movies had heart. Then at some point he just started making movies that were more about Tim Burton and his dark, creepy style than they were about telling a good story. Some things should never be remade. This was a fine example of a movie that we didn't need to see. The original was already a classic. Tim Burton is very arrogant to think he can make a better "Alice" or "Charlie" movie. He needs to come up with some original ideas and have at least ONE movie that doesn't have Johnny Depp and his wife in it. They are not great at playing all of the roles they are forced into. It seems more about Tim wanting to cast his friends and family in movies and take original art, bastardize it and try to put his own spin on it.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

First off that isn't Tim's wife. They never legally married. Secondly with all do respect, may I suggest watching another Burton/Depp collaboration like before he turned to this period?Ed Wood. That movie done a great job at showing why directors make movies a certain way. He has a unique dream. He likes people he's worked with sometimes with same actors be he likes that they see his dream. I don't know Tim Burton personally and probably wont meet him anytime soonbut Im just saying its worth checking out

Fun fact: aside from the animated BFG, Roald Dahl hated every adaptation of his work, even the original Willy Wonka.

[@TheNotverysocial]

He never lived to see *Matilda, James and the Giant Peach,* this film, nor *Fantastic Mr Fox.* No one can ever know whether he would have or not, but I think the latter two would earn his approval more than most. He loved Angelica Huston in *The Witches* even if he detested the tacked on ending. To be honest, I like all three versions of this story. I know, that's a rarity for anyone, right? I take them back to back.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

@@TheNotverysocial Yeah. But of the remakes he has seen, BFG was the only one he liked. Also, he definitely would've liked the Tim Burton Wonka, and definitely detested James and The Giant Peach.

[@TheNotverysocial]

@@jeremyusreevu237 Likewise. Incidentally, there is a difference between these two movies not addressed, and that is one of them is a musical and the other is not. I don't know where Roald Dahl stood on this, but I presume he liked musicals about as much as Tim Burton does, which isn't very much at all. Music and musicals are two separate things, and writing stories with poems in them or short stories like Theodore Geisel have no bearing on whether one likes the medium and genre or not. This film is a straight narrative movie, as are most films this director is involved with. Nearly everything musical with his name on them are films he either only gave approval of based on his work or had a co director. Only one did he actually direct.

[@ohthisguyagain5386]

Personally, I think the remake was a better movie. Although, I did see the 1974 version AFTER I watched the 2005 movie, so that might have affected my thoughts. Last thing I want to say is this- Stop comparing the 1974 and 2005 films. They are completely different aside from the main idea. The 2005 movie was never intended to be a remake, and it isn't. It's simply a more faithful adaptation. (Also this may be a shocker, but Roald Dhal aka the author of the book, hated the 1974 movie because it was nothing like his book and he was constantly shunned out of making decisions despite being one of the writers. He hated this movie so much, he put it in his will that, The Great Glass Elevator will never be adapted. When Tim Burton talked to Roald Dhals wife about a 2005 adaptation, she only trusted him when he said he would base the buckets house after Roalds childhood cabin. Despite people hating Johnny Depps Wonka, Gene Wilders Wonka was NOTHING like what Willy Wonka was supposed to be. I know that I said a while ago that the comparison of these films was the last thing I wanted to mention, and I'm sorry that this has turned into a rant, but I needed to say this and remember, you can have whatever opinion you want. Just because I dislike the 1974 and the 2005 film is probably one of my favorite movies ever, doesn't mean you have to agree. I'm going to actually end this comment with my biggest pet peeve in terms of the 2005 movie- Wonka's backstory isn't even a backstory. Who cares if shows the past of a character thats shrouded in mystery. Showing the Oompa Loompa backstory sure, I can definitely see why people don't like that, but come on, Wonka's flashbacks in this movie dont explain shit about the character. Here's what we learn from the flashbacks; His dad was a dentist. That's it. It doesn't explain how he founded the factory, what he did while he was locked away, his life after he ran away or anything. A backstory is the tale of someone's life before the events of the present. Yes, we see one event of his past, but that's it. One thing, we still don't know shit about Wonka, except his dad was a dentist play by the incredible Christopher Lee btw- Ok, rant over.)

The idea to play Wonka as Michael Jackson must have seemed hilarious on paper. But it hasn't exactly aged well

[@markcarpenter6020]

Actually it aged fine. Michael Jackson is much closer to the book version of wanka which is what the movie was going for

[@rhymeswithorange5137]

I grew up in an abusive household and Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka really gave me hope that if I stayed true to what I knew was right then maybe one day I, too, might have the wonderful dilemma of getting everything I always wanted and living happily ever after. I imagine that same kid watching Tim Burton's monster-piece..if I can just withstand the horrors and outlast the others, I win. There is no ray of hope for that kid. Survive, not thrive.

[@SevenEllen]

I agree with you 100% on the lack of excitement when (new) Charlie finds the Golden Ticket. Sure the audience knows he's going to find it, but HE doesn't. This is supposed to be a moment of hope, even though he knows he has the slimmest chance of everyone.
