| | Charlie and the Chocolate Factory |
 | | With such an advantage to start with, Tim Burton, award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter has taken on Roald Dahl novel "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" and in the gothic, other-worldly spirit of "Edward Scissorhands" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas," has created a dark, quirky, vivid, psychedelic version of this well-loved children's classic. |
 | | Largely shot at the Compair compressed air factory in Buckinghamshire and on set at Pinewood Studios in London, it features some fitting and impressive cgi, highly-detailed handcrafted sets and intensive special effects shots that give the feel of a glossy, florescent candy-filled wonderland nestled in a dark foreboding European factory town. |
 | | Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a like a box of chocolates, with some magnificent treats and some bland fudges, but on the whole, one that has something that everyone can enjoy. |
