An adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel, Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) was a sweet-and-sour stir; some loved it, and others discarded it. The critics were split in half. Some admired Burton’s twisted version of Willy Wonka's character played by Johnny Depp, while others found it outrageous and freaky. Most audiences, however, struggled to accept this reboot as their nostalgia for the 1971 adaptation, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and the original novel, ran deep.
