Skip the chocolate

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2005)

This was an appalling movie. I think it would be terrifying and disturbing for children, not to mention the fact it is just plain creepy most of the time. I love dark movies, and couldn't believe how bad it was. I loved the book, and the original movie, but this one just plain stinks. To go from Captain Jack Sparrow to this Chester Molester character makes me not like Johnny Depp so much any more. The Oompa Loompa is just horrible - computer generated and gross. Only 4 or 5 chuckles for both myself and my boyfriend. (We're both in our 30's.) Don't waste your time, in my opinion. And if your children are easily spooked, this is definitely not the movie for them. I was most disappointed.
