Is Depp's Wonka whacked or wonderful?

It must be said: after seeing previews of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake, I don’t have particularly high hopes. There’s a fine line, which the original handled very well, between Willy Wonka’s seemingly harmless eccentricity and his underlying sketchiness. But director Tim Burton, as usual, appears to have gotten too caught up in the latter. (Also, Johnnny Depp’s costume and makeup makes him look like the girl from Amelie—see art at left.) What I’m hoping they won’t do is shift the previews’ mood from unnerving children’s book adaptation to zany comedy all within the length of the promo.
