Reviews/Ratings for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

How did it compare to Gene Wilder?
did the Backstory add depth or distract?
Is Burton a genius or a moneygrubbing hack or both?

There was a sneak-preview around here somewhere over the weekend. Quite a few people that I work with were there... lots of mixed reviews.

I haven't seen it, but everyone on EnWorld knows PirateCat is our Amazing Chocalteer.

It had a few missteps, but they were relatively minor. I thought it was superb.

Saw it. Loved it.

Just got back from the movie house and I thought it was great. The Oompa Loompas were hysterical.

Who told you I have an oompa loompa in my shorts?

Err... forget I said that.

Entertaining. Liked the elements added from the book (yes, the squirels). Didn't have quite the classic feel that the earlier one had: neither Wonka nor Charlie came across as strongly (actually, none of the charecters really did, except for that one oompa loompa).
