4/5
"This is a perfect example of how to take a well-established tale and re-tell it for a whole new generation. Here's hoping the 2039 version is even half this much fun."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

3.5/4
"Burton’s modernized take ... benefits from improved special effects and the unhinged brilliance of his repeat collaborator, Johnny Depp."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell

"If Charlie is upstaged by the factory, then the factory itself gets upstaged by Willy Wonka"  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Shane Burridge

B-
"Enough to make any fan of the book cry — with delight at all the film gets so magically right, and with frustration that the film is still nearly ruined."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

8/10
"Depp's maniacally mischievous. Burton's bizarre yet weirdly wonderful. Get your surreal sweets are here!"  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

2.5/4
"A plastic patina of thin freakshow-ism that, at times, seems perverse merely for the sake of it."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"[Tim Burton] commands his environments with such exacting precision that one can't help but lose oneself in the intricate layers of sets and costumes."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell

3.5/4
