I wanna see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
Normally, I don't like to see a classic messed with, but since Tim Burton is directing, I will make an exception.

Also, with Peter Jackson doing King Kong.

2. Just read Roger Ebert's review
He said Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka was disturbing, as the character seems reminiscent of Michael Jackson, and the timing was especially bad in view of the recent Jackson trial. Otherwise he liked it.

3. I have liked Johnny Depp in just about everything I have seen him in
Such a shame that MJ is even associated with this.

5. I think it looks like it will be wonderful...
I know many have opinions about the original version, and I've heard that Roald Dahl didn't care for it himself, but I really liked it! I know I'll like this version too, as I love anything Tim Burton does. Late last night, on VH1, they had a 1/2 show on background on making the movie, and it looked awesome.

6. As much as I like Burton and Depp
I just can't imagine this remake even coming close to Gene Wilder in the original.
