Yeah, I knew it was trying to be more accurate to the book, but at the same time, I didn't feel Depp pulled it off. It was one of those situations where you could see what he was going for, but he didn't hit it. He didn't hit anything--it was a very soulless performance. I didn't like the Burtonization of the factory, either (and I'm a Burton fan). That didn't grok at all with the childlike spirit of the book. Everything, like I said above, blended into a charred-looking mess. It doesn't hold a candle to the kooky cloth-covered gobstopper machine, for example. Then the punishments went WAAAAY over the top, obscuring the point in FX that didn't matter.
