Yup, I have caught the movie. Special premiere, all thanks to Diana! And the invitation pass was in the form of the Willy Wonka golden ticket!

Watching a childhood story translated to big screen was such a joy for me! Though there's an older version, I was very much interested to see what Tim Burton would come up with.

And certainly, he did not disappoint the audience =). He captured the essence greatly though I felt Burton's adaption seemed less dark than the book. It was more of a heart-warming and cheerful tale.

The only flaw would be the lack of a climax in the movie. The fact that the story was famous was both a plus and minus pt for him. People watch it because they love the story. But people might end up losing the surprise element because they are so familiar with the story.

But still on the whole, Charlie Factory was a great show. And, really a good movie that the young and old will enjoy.
