Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

(Possible spoiler - if you want to watch the film with an especially clean slate I don't advise reading this.)

My dislikes (getting the negativity out of the way):

1) About 50% of Johnny Depp's portrayal.

2) The Oompa Loompas.

3) The fact that Wonka's chocolate was not shown to be as famous/important as it was meant to be.

4) The few severe deviations from the novel.

My likes:

1) About 50% of Johnny Depp's portrayal.

2) ALL of the children but especially Charlie.

3) The scenes where the four children meet their (temporary) sticky ends. ESPECIALLY the squirrel/Veruca scene. DARK!

4) Everything else, particularly the Prince Ponticherry anecdote.
