No need to worry; I'm yet to meet someone who didn't love it.
:
I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Tim Burton one) yesterday. It was pretty good, Gene Wilder was so good in the 1970 version, he was hard to top. I think Johnny Depp did a good job though. Really, there was nothing wrong with it...it was just different from the original.
See, I was excited about the new one because I never liked Gene Wilder. Johnny Depp was still not quite to the level of my mental Willy but he was much closer.

On the other hand, it disappointed me that they changed stuff from the books in order to distance themselves from the first movie, like the Oompa Loompa song or some of the famous lines like "I want an Oompa Loompa now, daddy!".
