I never had a huge issue with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory either. It was also just fine.

I like the way he handled it. Depp/Burton went too far in making Wonka creepy. That said, I get why people hate the remake.

But I saw if in the theatre on its initial release when I was a very little shaver indeed and I'm sure that has alot to do with my devotion. <br /><br />I'll admit that Grandpa Joe and his magical recovery are a bit hard to swallow, and he leads Charlie astray with the Fizzy Pop sampling but I was so into all the bright colors, the Oompa Loompas and the other general coolness it didn't bother me much. <br /><br />There will never be any other Willie Wonka but Gene Wilder! His aura is a bit dark but he is supposed to be mysterious and somewhat unknown, if he was a big open-hearted teddy bear from the get go that would minimize the tension of the situation. <br /><br />I'm one of those that detested the dank, ugly remake. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-67626181710164096212019-07-15T18:25:58.329-04:002019-07-15T18:25:58.329-04:00Glad to see some love for the remake.
