Charlie And The Chocolate Factory [Blu-ray] [2005] [Region Free]

Ticks the boxes for a kids rainy afternoon.

Great family film , good re-make of a classic film

What I liked most about this was they wasn't comparing to the original or trying to make it identical - If they had done that, They would have failed miserably.They worked to their strengths with the wonderful actors they had and they did a good job of it. They kept it true to its taste too - Wilky Wonka being this weird and eccentric guy and Charlie being this poor kid in his home.They made the best remake of the film they possibly could have, If they had tried too hard it just wouldn't have worked (With the more modern setting and cast, Especially for Wilky Wonka).. So what they have done is perfect.They allowed the actors to express themselves while staying true to the original themes, Not completely changing the characters at all. No one could have recreated the outstanding performance of the original Willy Wonka, And they were aware of that, So, They made an outstanding performance of their own, Not trying to copy the original, While keeping true to their characters.The overall enjoyment for me was a little more, As a whole I enjoyed this one more, And in the original it was the outstanding performance of Willy Wonka that made that film so special.In this film , It is all-round a great film! ♥ (And no points taken from Johnny Depp too, he made a great Wilky Wonka! I don't think they could have chosen anyone better!)

It is a great Film.But the original will always be better.Worth a watch though.

Great movie, great quality.

great family movie to watch

As a child I loved the original film and this version doesn’t disappoint. It manages to update and take advantage of modern effects available to bring it up to date, without losing the magic.Johnny Depp is wonderfully wacky as Willy Wonka, who entertains us with truly great acting. The film also provides a little history of how Willy came to have the Umpa Lumpas in his factory and a snapshot into his childhood, showing us why he has such a love of sweets which inspired him to build his factory and invent such wonderful confectionary.The Umpa Lumpa’s are truly fantastic, and provide the singing in this film (which unlike the original, isn’t a musical) with short, catchy songs as each child meets their fate as a result of their greed.Lots of big names in this film to watch out for too.Well worth renting or buying for an engaging and updated tale of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I am delighted I found this film on Blu Ray. I have a collection of movies that I only watch in December in the Christmas season. It's my Christmas movie collection and this is one of those movies.I know this isn't particularly a Christmas movies , but when I was a child in the 80's this was on TV every year around christmas time. So now it reminds me of Christmas.I watched this on a Panasonic 4K Blu Ray player ups sled in 4K and the picture and sound is improved over the DVD which I've had with a few years.Also I must thank the company that sold the movie to me. The first first BLU Ray went AWOL during delivery and they sent me a second Disk almost immediately. I will buy from them again.

Good movie and funny.

Este DVD fue un regalo. Me sorprendió el precio y la rapidez a la que llegó. La calidad era muy buena y llegó en perfectas condiciones. Recomiendo al 100%.

J'ai utilisé le DVD en élément de comparaison avec le texte original de Roald dahl, il y a quelques adaptations, mais le jeu de Johnny depp et l'univers de Tim Burton est vraiment extraordinaire, digne de Willy Wonka. A voir!

had no problems

sauf qu'une version en français eut été apprèciée!! c'est là qu'on peut mesurer le déclin de notre langue dans le monde..
