In its best sections, it's magically deranged in a way no other filmmaker could even come close to pulling off.

It's got a gorgeous wrapper and a nut in the center, but it's not very sweet.

The Nut Room scene, complete with squirrels, is unreservedly brilliant, a tour de force of electronic wizardry.

Adults and kids alike will take macabre delight in the punishment of naughty children. Burton and co make smart and funny additions to this classic tale.

Predictably twisted scenery, a bland story, a horrible alteration of Wonka, and an ending that's anything but pleasing...

I wonder if even children will respond to the peculiarly humorless and charmless stylistic eccentricities of Mr. Burton and his star, Johnny Depp.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is quite simply, wonderful; a brilliantly imagined story that will win old fans and new fans alike.

You can't help feeling that a fantasist as accomplished as Burton can manage this kind of project with his eyes shut. The trouble is that, from film to film, his dreams are starting to look the same.

As the star who's framed in the center of nearly every shot he's in, Depp is a constantly surprising Willy Wonka.

[Depp is] ever the most watchable of freaks, even if he is slipping in and out of accents, looking perplexed at his slight lines and, most frustratingly, hinting at the mad -- okay, madder -- memorable turn that might have been.
