Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (28 September 2010)

What a pathetic attempt at re-creating a movie that had already been created. Really. Yes, more modern technology sure, but the lack of proper character development and story progression really got me irritated. And the random pointless back story and alternate ending? Really? So it starts out very high tech. Then it shoes Charley. He looks quite fortunate, not poor or anything. Their house exaggerates the concept of a 'poor house'. Second, the other characters sucked. Really bad. The snobby rich 'I want it' girl? She didn't have any of the attitude. Just some girl who smiled and that was it. And yes, I'm comparing this to the original, 10 times better movie.
The girl with chewing gum? The mom's very creepy, and it was unneeded. The 'fat' kid was okay, actually. The video game kid was okay as well.
Willy Wonka? Let's just say he looked NOTHING like the original. NOTHING. He looked more like some creepy, non-social guy, who was... we'll just end it there.
The story goes way too fast. They get into the factory in the most creepy way. Willy Wonka acts very creepy, and as the story goes along you see the failed attempts to be funny. I did not laugh once.
Then they dare alter the ending and made it ten times more creepy.
Seriously this movie isn't worth it. And I have hard times rating movies this low, but this movie doesn't deserve the praise when the other one did it just fine.
