I doubt Mr Depp would proud of the comparison

I think he would encourage it for his character.

Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factor from Foxnews.com. Kurt, you hit the nail on the head--read the 5th paragraph!
'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' a Winner
Believe it or not, Warner Bros. is going to come out of the summer at the top of the box office heap. First it was "Batman Begins." Now it's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
I went to an advance screening of Tim Burton's latest visual sensation last night, and wow! I think "Charlie" is his best film since "Beetlejuice." "Big Fish" and "Edward Scissorhands" fans may disagree, however, and that is their prerogative.
Burton has made a trippy, psychedelic film that adults will embrace even more than kids. Luckily it works on two levels, so children ? from 9 and up, no younger ? will have fun, too. But this is by far an adult movie, with sophisticated language and scenes. No sex, however. Don't worry.
As in any Burton movie, the sets, costumes and lighting are superb ? maybe more so here than ever before. Seeing "Charlie" makes you wonder why Burton didn't get to direct "The Cat in the Hat." Indeed, some of "Charlie" recalls Dr. Seuss even more than it does Roald Dahl with its whimsical art direction.
Johnny Depp, who's a Burton repertory player, portrays chocolate factory owner Willy Wonka like he's Michael Jackson. Sometimes the Jacko factor is a little too obvious, but Depp has more depth than Jackson.
Thirteen-year-old Freddie Highmore, who starred with Depp in "Finding Neverland," is back and has an easy rapport with Depp. You can feel it on screen. As Charlie, the youngest member of an extremely eccentric family, Freddie carries all his scenes even when up against such daunting adult presences as Helena Bonham Carter ? Mrs. Burton in real life ? and Noah Taylor.
The real star of the movie, besides Burton himself, is a gifted comedic actor named Deep Roy, who is height challenged. You may recognize him from my second favorite Burton movie, "Big Fish."
Not to give anything away, Roy plays a multiplicity of characters including an Oompa Loompa. He also stars in his own mini-rock video, which has to been to be truly appreciated. And wait 'til you see him as a shrink and his own patient. Hilarious!
Irish actor David Kelly, 77, who plays Charlie's grandfather, is also bound to be cited for his lovely performance
"Charlie" cost a lot to make, but it's the first movie of the summer season where you can actually say it's all up on the screen. Alex McDowell's production design will leave you breathless. I think there are seven art directors credited to this film, and you can see why. There's so much to look at, my guess is that a lot of people will be eager to go back for a second look.
There are musical numbers that are so much carved out of the '60s. There are visual puns and even a reference upfront to Depp as Scissorhands. All together, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" may turn out to be the surprise phenom of the summer when it opens next Friday. Bravo!
