Wonka Dialogue was very weak

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2012)

The Burton – Depp remake lacked quality comedic dialogue. Had Depp's Wonka had NEW and funny sarcastic zingers, the movie would have earned 100 times what it did. Burton should have hired several good comedy writers, for Depp's dialogue alone. Who wrote and approved the "you really should stop mumbling" – "joke" to be said THREE TIMES in the movie? You can't make something completely unfunny – funny – by saying it again two more times. I was and remain embarrassed by this movie because of the Wonka dialogue. This movie should have been directed by someone who knows how to obtain write and use dialogue like Peyton Reed or Jon Favreau. Depp is such a good actor, and I had such high hopes for this movie. If Favreau remade this movie again, I think it would be a real box office smasher. If they can keep redoing Spider Man, why not Wonka? Sincerely Disappointed , Andrew
