The Nostalgia Critic2007

Nostalgia Critic:
You wanna know what I love: Tim Burton. Every time you see a movie by him, you know it's always gonna be dark, strange, and goofy. That is, except when he reimagines stuff. We all know what a powerhouse remake "Planet of the Apes" was, so I wasn't very enthusiastic when he was remaking one of my childhood favorites: "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". When I saw the trailer for this movie, I REALLY thought it was gonna blow. You can't top the original. No way, no how. But to my surprise... I was totally right. Not that it was the WORST film, but I just don't think it held a candle to the original. But is this just the thoughts of a stubborn curmudgeon, or is there really something there that I'm missing?
