if you liked the original you more than likely won't like this one

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2005)

I'm not much of an avid reader so I never read the original book but I watched the original movie. I loved the original movie and this one seems like a sick, demented, Tim Burton twist on the beloved original. I will never let my kids watch this. I don't see how anyone can say that this is a family movie. To make things worse the oompa lumpas were played by one ugly person. This has to be one of the most sadistic movies that I've seen Tim Burton put a twist on. I had a sneer on my face from the beginning to the very end. I forced myself to watch the entire movie. You may like it if you liked the book but if you never read the book and enjoyed the original movie then this is not the movie for you.
