Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Lauren and I got a chance to see the new Tim Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night and I am still not sure what to think. I knew it was going to be hard to out-wonka Gene Wilder and I guess that is the reason for the completely different direction Burton took the story. The movie was entertaining and enjoyable, but it really lacked the magical feel fromt he first one. I think the music of the original did great justice and the lack of singing in this one just made it an average movie. It didn't help that I couldn't stay awake through the whole thing.
