What I thought about this Revamped version of the movie

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2005)

I'll keep this short and sweet.
The new version of this movie was horrible. It's a Summer Flick that will last about that length of time..
Don't look forward to seeing this movie for more the the summer ( This is why they are trying to over sell all their merchandise now ).. This is a creepy version of a fantastic classic .. The appeal of the first movie was lost on this version.
one of the things I loved as a child watching the first movie was the musical parts. I think the most amazing part for me in the first movie was the song that Willie Wonka sang as he entered the chamber of candy dreams..
I guess I'm one of the fans that grew up loving the original and this one was just a flash in the pan that will last part of the summer and will be a wash up like all the rest of the sad attempts to dethrone a childhood classic.
This reminds me of "The Wiz" .. Where's Micheal Jackson when you need him...
