this film was awful nothing like the original.

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2005)

my six year old nephew cried as he said that mans scary, (johhny depp), my son said it was boring. the film is dark you can tell the director did the batman movies. they have tried making an upto date version of events mixed with the old, its not working. and where did the narrator come from???? too much information on willy wonkas childhood? not enough singing either. i certainly would not take a child to see this unless used to watching slightly scary films, johnny depp comes across as very scary and I'm usually a fan of his. the only good comment i have is that johnny plays his part well. the worst film i have ever paid money to see. my advice is watch the original its much more entertaining.
