forgetful musically and creepy chocolate maker

Rating: 2/10 (18 March 2012)

this is a remake, which is based on a child's novel. I've tried to give this movie higher rating, but it's impossible. Lets get this over quick, unlike this revamp of a classic "no need to update" film, which drags on and on and on. First, Johnnie Depp drops the ball for possibly his first time. He comes off scary or creepy, How many people hint to Micheal Jacksonian? pale white, creepy demeanor and aimless babblings? This Wonka is "to" alienated and removed from reality, unlike the very wise, eccentric, sarcastic and yet confidently and upbeat as well as resilient Mr. Wonka in the book and 1974 classic film, this Wonka is one slip away from suicide watch or a protection order to stay 1,000 feet away! that right there ruins the entire premise. No matter how many cynical teens or adults (few parents over 30) like this, it was made to be a children's film. an eccentric and wry confectionery King, who loves sweets should never be played so near scary and creepy and weird. eccentric and weirdo are not the same. Also all the kids and parents chosen are bland, forced and uninteresting in there characterizations. The songs are not hum-able, does anyone even mumble to themselves any of the songs throughout this lame flash and shock film? notice how it's rating keep slipping over the 7 years? great film maintain and increase. soon my 2 will be the average,..watch the original, don't waste you time on this big money and hype offering.
