Charlie visits a chocolate factory.

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2005)

What a disappointment! I love the original film with Gene Wilder and had been looking forward to watching this version. I had heard that this was a darker take on the film that was closer to Roald Dahls vision of how it should be. There were many changes to the original - there were many things left out and other bits added / changed which did not enhance the film in any way - and in fact if you had seen the original left you feeling slightly confused If you have not seen the original, or were not a big fan of it, then I guess this may seem like a good film - however if it is a magical fairy story you are after steer clear.
