I agree with you.

It's more in the spirit of Roald Dahl's original book. The original movie was more of a bubbly candy-land fantasy. The book had a darker, weirder tone to it that this one holds up to.

Ummmm... Oh! I didn't even know there was a book! :P

This movie does seem darker. Thought that was Tim's doing.
