Christopher Lee is Burton's new Vincent Price.

I did not enjoy the film - I found it overwrought, calculated to appeal to a modern disaffected Goth audience, forced and completely lacking the MAGIC of the book and the Wilder version.

And why was it so necessary to create a backstory based on (surprise!) childhood trauma? Like the Hulk and Dr. Evil before him, this Wonka just wants to love...

Depp is a great actor, but he was misdirected in this strange echo version...
