Complete and utter disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (3 August 2005)

Having watched this film in the cinema I can only say that it is a complete disappointment in comparison to the original one.
There are far too many unnecessary special affects. Apart from Johnny Depp the acting is terrible especially the girl that acts Veruca Salt, she sound as though well rehearsed without giving any personality to the character. The fact that all Ompa Lumpa are the same person really gets up your nerves and the songs are atrocious.
A very dim film, and having been a big fan of the book and the original film I can only say that it is a complete waste of time and money to see it.
