Charlie and the chocolate factory 2005

 I haven't watched the original film in quite some time, so I don't really know how this one stacks up against it. However, I can say that I did not really enjoy this one, and I thought that I had never seen it before, but I realized in the middle of watching it that yes indeed I have seen it before. Johnny Depp gives his best in personation of Michael Jackson in the height of his wacko Jacko era, and while this does provide a few Chuckles, it just makes the movie weird and not in a fun way. He's not the biggest problem with the movie though, as the biggest problem is Tim Burton's brand of weirdness. I like Tim Burton when the weirdness comes naturally and not when they have hired Tim Burton to be weird. It's kind of like the difference between Edward Scissorhands and that horrible Alice in Wonderland movie. So there's a few good lines in this movie, but I have heard that the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie is much better, so either watch the original or that one.
