It was nice to look at

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2005)

I thought the movie was OK. I personally feel the the 1971 version was much much darker. It was more like Cat in the Hat rather then Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I think children will really enjoy the movie. All the colors and funny looking men and their silly songs. As for adults, one might think the movie is lacking something. I thought the acting was good! And the makeup and the sets were pretty cool. There were things that were left out of the movie that would have been neat to see how they would do it now. I saw it on the IMAX screen, I think seeing it on the huge screen made it better! If any one asked,I would tell them to go see it, but don't be surprised when you realize its not what you expected (and try to see it at IMAX)
