As I had Suspected

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2005)

I found this movie to be a horrible remake of the movie, Wonka's 'catchphrases' were not amusing. If a child went to see this who has never seen the old one, then I believe they would enjoy it. But to anyone who loves the old one, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I believe you will find this remake horrible. Johnny Depp reminded me of Michael Jackson in this movie. The oompa loompas were Mexicans that are the size of your ankle. But the story line was altered. This movie made me bored, and I wanted to walk out.
Although, as far as a children's movie it was fine. Tim Burton, I think, was trying to alter it make it less weird for the children of today to understand. The original one was more designed for teenagers. This is just in my aspect. The original had 'scary' things in the tunnel and Willy Wonka came off as creepy more than weird.
Final decision, if you have a child who has never heard of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, go see it, the kids love it. However, if you have watched the original thousands of times, do not go to this movie.
Thanks, there is my 2 cents.
