Um...okay. I still have nightmares about the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I find Gene Wilder's Wonka to be one of the creepiest characters on film. He scares me like the Grinch scares my daugther. So I didn't need a remake.
The new film is as twisted as you'd expect from Burton. For me, this new film is actually LESS creepy, even though it contains Burton's warped world view and a Johnny Depp performance that channels Michael Jackson.
Amusingly odd and brightly colorful, but not necessarily necessary.
