Tim Burton's version of Roald Daahl's Charlie and The Chocalate Factory was an unexpected pleasing movie. Very different than my childhood favortie Willie Wonka, yet eerily similar. Plot very much the same. Supposedly, Tim Burton's film hewed to the book much better. The most striking part was the music. The lyrics are directly from the book, but the backing rythms are today. I didn't like it. I missed the campy oompa loompa songs of the earlier one. Danny Elfman is really becoming an annoying composer.
