Not the best movie plot

Rating: 4/10 (28 August 2005)

While there were a few twists in the movie, and some additional scenes in comparison to the older 'Willy Wonka and the Cholcolate Factory', the movie was quite boring. The ooompaa looompaas don't sing their cool little songs, and apart from Willy bashing into his glass elevator occasionally, nothing else exciting really happens. You do get to see what happens to the other 4 children who are "eliminated" from winning by their bad manners, and the movie provides a role model for young children about family values. This movie would be aimed at young children because of the morals, but at the same time I doubt that many would enjoy it because of its dullness. My recommendation is to give it a miss unless you see it for sale at a very cheap price.
