Booo: Give me Gene Wilder any day!

Rating: 3/10 (4 September 2006)

When I first heard that Depp was doing this film, I was excited. I was such a big fan of Gene Wilder, and Depp seemed like the only guy who could pull off the remake.
What a disappointment. The new one sucks out loud! Everything from Depp's freakish character to the troll like little demon, Deep Roy(oompa loompa). Oh, and Tim Burton...yuck.
Another unfortunate remake. Will someone please think of something original, and stop ruining my favourite old movies! I am seriously sick of Hollywood crapping out poorly done remakes: The Wicker Man comes to mind.
