Depp awful, movie awful

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2017)

Just saw this with my kids. I loved the original, and expected this to be as good or better. I'm also a fan of Depp's.
This is one of the blandest yawnfests I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. This movie actually makes me sad to see the lost opportunity and missed potential.
Depp should have known better than to make his character so flat and lifeless. Willy Wonka should have been played larger than life, not like a dull, effeminate, slightly snippy waiter.
After Planet of the Apes and now this garbage, I swear to never watch a Tim Burton movie ever again. I am actually angry at Burton and Depp because I told my kids this would be good and then broke their trust and let them down badly.
