I will give in on the point that I over-reacted. I am sure regardless of ads that I will go see this movie. I loved the books and the original and johnny depp too much not to. But it still gave me the heebies. It was the music mostly though... and the purpleness

Is it just me or does the movie poster look like Willy Wonka in the Clockwork Chocolate Orange Factory?
I know, it could be just me.

The main thing that stuck with me was the music. All I heard in my head for the next hour was "Willy Wonka....Willy Wonka". Creepifying, I tell you.
But all in all, the movie itself looks pretty interesting.

yeah, the music was disturbing and the visuals overwhelming. I got a creepifying feel again watching it, but not as much as the first time. I think it's Johnny Depp's face that is making me lose my perspective on reality. He looked so plastic.

I honestly don't think that any version can top the orginal..I mean there is just something speical about the orginal movie, I only think a remake should be done if it can be done better and I don't think it can be..whats up with Tim Burton and all the remakes can't he come up with something orginal

What's up with so many remakes? Filthy lucre, that's what. A proven plot and easy financing based on the previous version's success.
And audiences who don't remember what's come before deserve a large share of the blame. Just try convincing some people that George Clooney wasn't in "Ocean's Eleven" when it first was in theaters....

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the first movie I saw in a theater, when it first came out. Yes, I am that old. My aunt took me (this was while I was visiting her in Auckland, NZ - my family was living in Tauranga at the time), and I totally closed my eyes as soon as I saw the Oompah Loompahs, and then pretty much kept them shut through the entire movie, only peeking to be freaked out again.
Watching it again as an adult, I can understand why I was creeped, but the movie has dated. Very much so....most especially the music (and I hated, hated, hated, the kid who played Charlie, from the beginning). Gene Wilder's performance, of course, still stands the test of time, but I look forward to seeing what Johnny Depp has done.
Tim Burton has done marvelous things with his movies, and I always look forward to seeing something he's directed and/or produced. I was disappointed in Planet of the Apes, but not visually (the crappy plot and egregiously bad acting by some stuck in my craw, but it was a pretty thing).
I thought the music on the teaser was entirely appropriate - ear-wormy and annoying. That's part of the appeal, for me, to be dragged back to that dystopic childhood fantasy, over-the-top and too much input.

Again, this is NOT a remake. It's a more faithful adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Roald Dahl hated the original movie as his script was vastly rewritten.
