Review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) by Captans. — 26 Nov 2005
One of the least inspiring movies of the last few years. Uncolorful, not charming and definitely not funny. Johnny Depp has to be one of the worst picks for this character, but honestly, why mess with "Willy Wonka" to begin with? Gene Wilder was amazing in the roll, charming and funny, but this ain't "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", mores the pity! Lifeless, uninspiring and bland! I give this one a 4 for the effects, but there's not much else to be excited about.
Do yourselves a favor, go buy the original and let this one die a slow death. This review'll save 2 hrs.
