doesn't live up to it's rating. poor acting.

Rating: 4/10 (14 August 2005)

I saw the movie with an open mind. I really was excited. Even snuck in Wonka bars to eat during the movie. There were flaws that I just could not overlook. The kids in the movie seemed to never scream when they were put into horrific situations. The parents stared blankly watching their kids suffer, no believable reactions. The rides that these people were on, like the elevator, boat, etc...never seemed to make the people sway or move..they stood still like they were statues, again no screams. Just not a good movie. I'm glad I saw it for curiosity sake. Will not rent it or buy it when it comes out. I am wondering how this movie is getting such rave reviews?!
