I saw Charlie and the Chocolate factory recently. I liked it. It was weird and pretty funny. The only thing I really didn't like was the Oompa Loompas, they were just annoying. Other than that I loved the movie, it's a Tim Burton/Danny Elfman film, how could I say otherwise? I loved loony Grandma Georgina ("I like grapes!") and her cynical husband, they reminded me of my parents (except my parents aren't old and bed-ridden). I can't really compare it to the old film. They're both different and have their own strengths and weaknesses.
