The Truth Must Be Told - This Movie SUCKS!!!

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2005)

I don't know where these people who liked this movie are coming from. It was a disaster compared to the Gene Wilder film. I figured they'd at least try to put a modern spin on it seeing as how it's a remake. But no, they basically attempted to remake the old one (better in their minds) but worse to real people. Unless you're a kid who has never seen the original I don't know how you could like this. Sitting thru the movie is a pain, by the end you realized "I just wasted two hours of my life." The movie didn't even have a new spin, nothing original, just taking stuff from the book and the first movie and making a much worse movie.
Worst of all, the Oompa-Loompas were crap, no little people (midgets for us who live in the real world). I mean the little green guys have been a trademark since the first film, one was in an episode of "the Simpsons." I could keep going but to finish I'll just say, "DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE!"
