The new "Willy Wonka Movie"

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2005)

When the new "Willy Wonka" movie was over in the theater I felt like screaming. If you are a big fan of the original movie, I suggest you do not go see this travesty of a movie. The children were horribly cast (and all brats - Veruca was tame in comparison), the story's horrible addition of Wonka's father and the overall lack of wit made me want to vomit.
The only saving grace and why I rated this a 2 instead of a 1,was Johnny Depp's performance. He was excellent and a little scary. The oompa loompa was interesting too - he was also worth seeing. If you are going to endure the torture, rent do not pay full price!
