I must say that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an oddly enjoyable (though quite overrated) film. I haven’t watched the classic, so with only the novel as frame of reference, I think it’s worth watching.
Although calling it a children's movie would be a little bit of an understatement…may humor kasi na hindi pambata…and the burning doll's heads in the beginning? Throw in an apathetic Wonka who appeared to enjoy their misfortunes, which were rather violent – Violet blown up like crazy (who, by the way, is like Dakota Fanning gone bad) the scene where Veruca goes down the garbage chute and her dad scampers after her, hints of capitalism…I'll be shutting up now.

“Everything in this room is eatable, in fact, I'm eatable. But that, dear children, is called cannibalism, which is in fact frowned upon in most societies.”
Had a good laugh on that one. And oh, those oompah loompahs scared the wits out of me. But I was just thinking - loevteam para kay Mahal? eh? :p
Still waiting for The Corpse Bride - Tim Burton is cool.
Geez, I sound so bland.
