Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[Helen Dyer]

Reviews of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are overwhelmingly positive.....
Of course, there are always one or two reviews that are dismal (I had to wonder at one review I read, as to whether the reviewer had actually seen the movie)....and most of the reviews at some point compare Tim Burton's version with the 1971 movie, however, the overall opinion suggests that this remake outshines the earlier version....

July 18th was the premiere of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in London..There is a very nice article about the opening with a brief few words exchanged with Mr. Lee. He comments on working with Tim Burton and the decorations placed around Leicester Square for the opening....
