Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[solidius23]

i knew this one was gonna be more like the original book. so there is really no reason to compare the two.i just count them as 2 diff flicks.

[Z-Neo]

From an article I read in a local paper, Tim Burton said that it isn't meant to be a remake, but a "re-imagined" version of the book itsself.

 

I gave my son the choice of either seeing this movie, or Fantastic Four. He of course chose F4. I'll probably check this out once it hits DVD, though.

Isn't a remake like a sequel in the sense that it's an idea that's already proven itself as successful, and thus less of a risk for the studio?

 

Originality out the window does blow but :/

[Weirdy]

errr..how many times must I say it

 

this movie was not a remake!

wow...i ahvent seen the new one yet..or better of yet i havent seen "charlie and the chocalate factory"...just willy wonka...and by the commercials i can say the chocoalte looks more pure in the "charlie" one but i do agree bout the soda scene (in willy wonka) because i saw no point in it...i mean the fact that all the other kids were eliminated from the competiotion beacsue they did sumtin bad...y didnt charlie get eliminated when he drank the soda?...i mean willy wonka knew he did so...well whatever i dont know ...this is all just my opiniojn...kbye

Well the soda scene was just there for an excuse for Willy Wonka to yell at Charlie.

 

"YOU LOSE! Good day, sir!"

I went to the movies to go see it ,it was ok , i could go either way on the adding of depth to the past of willy wonka,The Oompa Loompas were pretty messed up

[Ryuken]

so for those that have seen both version of the movie, should i watch the new one?

[Madi]

watch the old one, this new one was kinda bleh plus it had a better oompa loompa song

[Shibathedog]

wait wait wait

 

My understanding of the movie is this. The original one was called WILLY WONKA and the chocolate factory, and Willy Wonka passed the factory onto CHARLIE, So the new one is called CHARLIE and the chocolate factory. So doesnt that mean its about CHARLIE passing the factory on because now he is too old or whatever?

 

So it was a sequel and not a remake right? Or am i wrong? because i would get kinda irritated when people said things like, The remake is going to blow, when I thought it wasnt a remake at all.

[Weirdy]

it's neither a sequel or a remake

 

especially not a sequel since there still is a Willie Wonka
