Not a bad remake. Not a good movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2005)

Well I really didn't expect the remake to be all that good, but I guess it isn't all that bad.....if you're 7 years old. If you already seen the original than I wouldn't bother watching this one. Depp was pretty scary, they could have just put Michael Jackson in it. Anyways if you have young children than it wouldn't be that bad to go see it. Very few funny spots. Almost exactly like the original with a few additions. personally I think the best part about both the original and the remake are the little "oompa loom pas". I find that the film makes you hungry, with all the candy and stuff. If you have nothing better to do then go see it, otherwise I wouldn't really recommend seeing this movie.
