The story of Willy Wonka has already been done once, and done right. Still, I was open to the idea of grimly stylized director Tim Burton taking another stab at it, why not. The original, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, is a classic but aside from Gene Wilder's absolutely brilliant performance, there's room for improvement in it. Unfortunately, Burton's take on Roald Dahl's popular children's novel is anything but an upgrade. He misses the mark spectacularly, and he's dragging Johnny Depp down with him.
