I just didn't get it

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2005)

OK, Johnny Depp freaked me out in this movie. I mean, what is up with his mouth. Everything in this movie was so....eerie, surreal. Can't you expect Tim Burton to create just a normal movie. No, he has to make it all dark and ....the movie was so DULL.
I was not in the least bit excited when I watched the movie. The original, if I remember it, was at least bright. I mean, overall the movie is not half bad. But the fun stuff in it was just not good enough. And the KID. Don't get me started on the goody goody types. I hate kids like that. And what is so horribly wrong with the rest of the kids. So, the guy is fat, and that makes him detestable, so the kid is competitive, so WHAT??!! The other kid is totally into computer games and is a smarty pants. OK, nobody likes a spoiled brat.
Nooo, only the bleeding heart Freddie Highmore, as always wins. Willy WOnka is the only character in the whole movie that was likable. Because, Depp can make any character he play, doesn't matter how bad it is, very likable.
Conclusion: watch the movie, if you got nothing else to do, like me.
