In Reply to: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory posted by LWR on December 5, 2005 at 07:25:35:
I thought it was *excellent* up until the point when Charlie enters the factory. In comparison, that part of the story was weak in the original film. Once he enters the factory however, I was terribly disappointed; the original film was better in every way.It's hard not to compare it to the original, but... Wonka as insecure and effeminate? A NOT scary boat ride? No fizzy-lifting drink? ONE Oompa-Loompa, cloned with computer graphics?
I hate to sound cranky, but the kid in me really was disappointed :-(

...they are very different.Have you ever read Roald Dahl's book? Which is closer to his original vision? Hint - Not Gene Wilder.
To me I couldn't care less which was closer to "the book" if "the book" was fiction. I understand why others such as yourself do care, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is just more interested in which movie is better.
As for this movie, haven't seen the new one yet.
...an apple or an orange?You have to have a frame of reference.
In this case, it's Dahl's book.
I read the book a long time ago, but don't remember the details--you're probably right.It's terrible, but of the Roald Dahl books I read when I was young, Danny, Champion of the World sticks out most in my mind mainly because of the drugging and poaching of pheasants. Who isn't a fan of justifiable crime?
