really disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (23 August 2005)

i am a longtime fan of the ORIGINAL WILLY WONKA and this movie is not even close. the music stunk, the kids were 1 dimensional, and what is the deal with only one OOOMPA-LOOMPA? what a cop-out! more midgets and less CGI! johnny depp was lackluster as willy wonka and where was the SLUGWORTH/EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPER conflict? that was key to the first movie! save your $$$ and buy the original.
i won't even go into the downward spiral tim burton has been in for the last 15 years. his movies have become more and more disappointing since beetle juice. okay, ed wood might have been his last good film, but that was 10 years ago. SEE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
