I enjoyed it. The look of the movie is fantastic. The Buckets house is just as I pictured in the book. The inside of the factory is more brilliant than even Dahl probably imagined it. The only thing that sucks is that I watched it in a ghetto theatre where the bulb wasn't burning as bright as it should have. But still, it looked fantastic.
I am a huge fan of the book and the original movie, so comparisons are unavoidable. First, the things I liked about it:

LIKED There was a little more personality given to the other three grandparents than in the 1971 movie. It was good to see they found something more to do with them.
The editing was fantastic. Not neccessarily the pacing, which was off as usual with Tim Burton, but the transitions and things of that nature. It was stylish.
At the end seeing the other children leave. That last shot of them all walking out was nearly exactly as I had imagined from the book.
As I stated before, each room in the factory looked amazing. Especially the inventing room. The squirrels were great.
The beginning conversation with Grandpa Joe and Charlie is great.

DISLIKED
None of the characters beside Charlie and Wonka have even 1/5 of the personality they did in the 1971 movie. This is quite possibly because none of them have near the amount of screentime or lines they did previously. See, here's the problem: the movie runs through the motions. We never get a sense of the importance of anything. We certainly don't see how important the golden tickets are to the world. Gone are all the great and funny scenes from the original movie. Those scenes were classic, but there is nothing of the kind here. Instead, we are treated to very rushed scenes introducting the four children and their parents. They aren't even funny scenes. In the original, the interviewer puts the mic up to Gloops father asking him a question. Mr. Gloop then eats the head of the mic like an ice cream cone. That was funny. Here, we get Gloop eating candy. For Violet, we see her do martial arts for some reason, and her mother explains how good they both are at stuff. Evidently Ms. Bouregard did batons. There's a personality to her mother, but it's not very good. She's a flirt I guess. In the original, Violet brought her dad, who was a classic commercial salesman. It was funny. Here, it's dry. Veruca is worse. She is actually good, but her father isn't even 1/100 of the previous father. He's pointless in this one, we never really get the sense that he spoils her like we did in the first one. Sure, it shows him telling his workers to find the golden ticket. But we don't ever see Veruca completely boss her dad around, and him bending to her every wish. He's completely dry here. Mike Teevee is pretty good, and his dad has a funny haircut, but not much else. Seriously, there is a wit from the 1971 movie that is totally lacking here. It's painfully lacking.
The whole thing is rushed. If Burton would have taken his time with the intro, we would have been able to get a better sense of all the children, their parents, and the state of panic the world is in to get a ticket. The movie is only 106 minutes long, a good part of that screentime is wasted on a useless subplot (which I'll get into). I understand you need a movie to be an hour and a half for maximum dollar signs, but this is a special story and should be told with more care.
Grandpa Joe is good in the beginning of the movie. Not nearly on the level of the original GJ, but still good. He's interesting. Very Burton-ish. He disappears once we actually enter the factory, but hey, it was a nice cameo.
The children enter the factory by Wonka telling them to through loudspeakers. There is no theatrical entrance, nothing close to being good. Nothing majestic, nothing noteworthy. In fact, I bet everybody who saw the movie completely forgot about he entered once they left the theatre. In 'Pirates', Depp has a fantastic entrance. You get hyped up when you see it. In the 1971 movie, Gene Wilder had arguably the best entrance for any character in the history of cinema. Here, nothing.
The boat ride has been drastically changed from the book, because of the 1971 movie. I can GUARANTEE if the 1971 movie never existed, Burton would have added one scary boat ride. Instead, he is trying to distance himself from the original, and in doing so DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM THE BOOK. Now the boatride is some cheesy Disney thing. The only familiar line is still somewhat changed, 'there's no way of knowing where they're going.'
The Oompa Loompa songs are some of the worst in history. Dahls lyrics don't work to tunes. Don't believe me, watch the movie. Unbelievable. I really couldn't believe they took it in that direction. The songs don't add anything and they grind the movie to a hault. You sit there waiting for them to finish. Loompaland was what I imagined it to be, but it was pointless. We're in the factory, don't take us out. That's what Burton doesn't understand. When we are in Wonkas factory, the outside world doesn't matter. Don't take us out of it. Don't take us to Loompaland, or to Wonkas dad, nothing. We're in a land of imagination, pure magic. Don't break that up.
The oompa loompas themselves are alright I guess.
A huge problem with the movie: it gets self richteous claiming to be more true to the book, and that by changing the name to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' it is placing Charlie as the central character. Not true at all. For the first 30 minutes maybe, but once we enter the factory, it become the Johnny Depp show. He has all the lines and everybody else disappears, except to act as foil for Depp. The formula works like this:
1. Depp shows them something.
2. Random kid says something stupid.
3. Wonka replies with a lame joke or a giggle or something even stupider.

Charlie disappears from the movie entirely until the very end. This is completely different from the 1971 movie, which kept Charlie in the forefront the whole time. Grandpa Joe is nothing inside the factory, you don't really even see him. The kids all get their chance to shine as they get eliminated in their own familiar ways. But that's it.
Which brings us to Willy Wonka himself. A collosal miscalculation on the part of Johnny Depp. He completely misplayed the part, in fact, I wonder if you go in a more wrong direction. Wonka isn't supposed to hate parents, he isn't supposed to be insecure, he isn't supposed to not be able to react to people. He isn't supposed to not be able to express himself. Here, he has to read off of cue cards sometimes. He doesn't now how to act around anybody. He looks like a complete bafoon. That being said, I kinda liked him. His character grew on me. The only thing is, he isn't Willy Wonka. But have Johnny Depp play that character in some other movie, great. Just not here. Please, not here. The good thing is that he never once comes across gay, transexual, as a child molester or perverted in the least. You get the same sense you always get with a Depp character: this guy has never even thought about sex. Which is a good thing.
Once we're in the factory, everything is rushed from set to set. Burton obviously couldn't wait to get to the 'good stuff', or the special effects, sets, etc... Which is why little emphasis is put on story, but we get a lot of good visuals. This is common in Burton films, I wasn't expecting much different.
The subplot with Wonka and his dad: useless. No other director would do this. But Burton obviously has some history with his own dad, or else he wouldn't force these stupid subplots into every single last one of his movies. I hear great things about Christopher Lee, but he didn't have much to do here. Give me the lines, I can do the same job. It was a nothing part, a stupid subplot, and revealed too much while not explaining anything. Child Wonka has nothing in relation to adult Wonka. There's nothing showing him change, nothing to explain anything. Just revealing things, telling us not showing. If you want us to know, show us. But it's better to leave it all in the dark anyway.
To prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that this movie places all the emphasis on Wonka, they gave him the drama instead of Charlie. In the 1971 one, they deviated from the book by giving Charlie some drama to work with. He breaks the rules but repents, asks forgiveness in spite of his father figure telling him not to. His goodness shines through when the going gets tough. Here, it's all about Wonka and his problems with his dad. Once day I hope to again remake this movie, only fix these problems. Ha! That would be awesome!

But I did like the movie, I enjoyed it and will probably see it again. The material is too good to not be enjoyed. I just really wish Burton hadn't directed it, and somebody would have straightened out Johnny Depp. The original movie is lightyears ahead of this one. However, the new one has no fizzy lifting drinks which is good.

Two last things: Grandpa Joe jumping out of bed was one of the corniest things I've seen. The original movie handled that awkward scene very well. Also, the best scene in the movie is Depp trying to figure out which key opens the door in the squirrel room, stalling for time. Then, when it's time for dad to go rescue her, of course he knows exactly which key. That was brilliant.

If I had the authority to, I would give it like a 3/5. But I don't and nobody cares anyway.
