Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Mike Teavee pushes the "Television Room" button in the elevator, the elevator continues downward and then takes a sharp turn to the right. However, the actors lean toward the right (toward the direction the elevator moves), rather than moving to the left as one would as a reaction to the movement. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Narrator: This is a story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected; in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.

Have you ever wondered what a feature length version of those Fruit Rollup commercials would be like? If so, you have your answer. It would be a lot like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I cannot fathom why this movie has been getting positive critical notices. After the first thirty minutes, which are fine, the movie becomes a strong contender for the top 5 worst I have ever seen.
Nearly everything about it is awful. The script is somehow both plot less AND incomprehensible. The effects remind me of Spy Kids 3D, without the 3D. To describe the songs as embarrassing is being kind. The parallels between slavery and the Oompa Loompas are alarming (which I realize comes from the source material, but it's still alarming). And at the center of this disaster is Johnny Depp's performance. For one thing it really is inexplicable, but what makes it truly awful is that it is without heart. The only good thing in sight is Freddie Highmore. Somehow he manages to be genuine, human, and insightful in the midst of a movie that is otherwise totally devoid of those qualities.
I cannot express how much I hate this film. Upon leaving the theater I was shocked and angry. Angry. And why I say that it may be worse than Cat in the Hat is that at least Cat in the Hat is bad in an empty juvenile way. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is bad in a much deeper way. It's not just empty crap, but rather filled to the brim with bad ideas. Worse than that, these bad ideas come from people with talent. I don't know. I guess I'm running out of steam here because words can't capture the terrible feeling this film gave me. See it for yourself if you dare.
