  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie Review - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
The early scenes are remarkably assured, with Charlie, his loving if hapless parents (Helena Bonham Carter and Noah Taylor), and his bedridden grandparents (four grandparents, one bed) all jammed into a squalid, trapezoidal shack a few blocks from the chocolate factory.
Charlie finds the fifth ticket, of course, and with his Grandpa Joe (David Kelly, the skinny walking stick from ''Waking Ned Devine") arrives at the factory gates at the appointed hour, along with the other children and their parents.
When ''Charlie" does lose control -- in the Mike Teavee showdown, which references old movies in amusing but self-congratulatory ways, or in the lugubrious ''emotional closure" finale that lets Wonka lay his daddy issues to rest -- it's because the director is serving his own obsessions rather than Dahl's.

 The Tim Burton Collective - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is arguably Burton's first kid's film since Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and, as a pure sugar-rush of light-hearted entertainment, it's almost impossible not to enjoy.
Towards the end, when Wonka reconciles with his father (their relationship is told in some wonderfully grim Burtonesque flashbacks) and learns from Charlie the value of family, the film does finally show its heart.
The gray, slightly sinister world outside the factory is perfectly timeless (though it is a bit disconcerting to hear ostensibly English people use terms like dollars and band-aids).

 HD DVD Review: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory | High-Def Digest
The late author of such classics as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' 'James and the Giant Peach,' 'The Witches' and 'Matilda,' it is irrefutable that this guy had one seriously demented imagination.
Since just about everyone has seen the original 1971 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (it is an adolescent rite of passage up there with 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Showgirls'), watching Tim Burton's "reimagining" of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is like a 115-minute comparison test.
Otherwise, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is largely successful in capturing the charm and wonderment of the original film while upgrading its technology for modern audiences.

As Charlie explores the factory, he, along with a squad of trusty Oompa Loompas, aid Willy Wonka in cleaning up the problems created by other children in the tour.
Take, for example, one of the earlier levels where Charlie must find some Oompa Loompas, command them to operate the machinery, capture WonkaBots with the Wriggle-Sweets and then use the resulting balls of vine to plug the vents, thus building the pressure to force troublesome Augustus further through the chocolate distribution pipes.
Despite all these flaws, if one were to force themselves to play through all the redundant bits, one would likely find Charlie and the Chocolate Factory slightly enjoyable at points, but that's equivalent to jabbing a knife in one’s arm just to experience the relief of a healed wound.
