I wouldn't say that...Charlie and the Chocolate Factory made $475,968,763 million dollars worldwide at the box office, which is $431 million more than the original made, am I correct???

You're not really proving your point. You're actually proving flauss point more. Wouldn't this be just as irrelevant but more relevant than box office?

Also remember critics are more forgiving these days.  The remake was shitty and featured a creepy Willy Wonka that made you feel uncomfortable he was around kids. 

The "creepy" Willy Wanka makes the film far more interesting and I love the Michael Jackson comparison. I don't find him creepy I just find him sad and lonely and he finds happiness through the main kid and his family at the end.

The original lacks style and Wanka is a very dull character in it.

I don't care what critics think or like. The remake is better because it is more emotionally engaging, more visually creative and more entertaining.

I agree that BO numbers has nothing to due with quality and is a bad argument though. I also think imdb rating and RT score is a bad argument too though. The remake has 200 more critic reviews than the original, so it isn't a fair comparison.
