Yikes!

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2006)

I found this site and I saw this movie a while ago. I saw just a few minutes ago as well.....Why didn't I change the channel? Unlike some people, I have never read the original book. I did see the 1970s film. I LOVED the 1970s film! Everything about it! This one....has just brought shame to it.
The good: Errrr.....ummmm....well there was almost nothing good about it except for the beginning. It was OK.....until they went into the chocolate factory.....Words can not describe this....But I will anyway for your sake: Some of the stuff in the preview of the movie before it came out were strange. I didn't think that anything from the original would be in it....but then....Now look! The Chocolate room! Now I remember THAT from the original movie! Not so much..... *Warning* *Some spoilers and a list*
The Pipe with the dome around it at the top in the Chocolate room
The "Hair candy" in the eventing room.
The Dragon Ship thing in the Chocolate river scene
The Fireworks
The song and dance of puppets near the beginning of the Factory
The Puppet hospital thing
The Squirrel's in the "Nut room"
And the Flash Backs.
This film drives itself to the point that it doesn't make any sense after a while. The ending was odd to say the least. Why would you wan't to make Wonka look like the bad guy? It's stupid and annoying. The songs by the ompalompa's were just.......wow.....I couldn't make out ANYTHING they were saying!
Next to: Lady in the water, Cat in the hat, and Wild Wild west, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
The final verdict: How this got a score of 7 (See other sites) is just plain scary.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! Even if you are the slight bit curious DO NOT SEE IT!!! I am dead serious......DEAD SERIOUS. Also I would like to add: Next to Judge Doom from "Who Framed Rogger Rabbit", Wily Wonka in this movie was one of the freakiest characters I have ever seen.
Instead of this go see:
The original film.
Dude Where's my car?
DragonHeart
or....
Jay and Silent Bob strike back
The movies listed above are WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!
Don't bother with it, If you see this in the store don't even touch it.
