I agree with you here. I was not fond of the childhood plot and much prefer the Slugworth plot. It gave the story an added dimension that actually made the story very much more about moral choices than the new film (also the Fizzy Lifting Drink).

As far as Wonka himself, Depp couldn't have been further away from the book's version of the character if he had raped each child before he killed them.
But does it make it bad because it isn't the book? Different, but maybe not bad.
