Title: It was craptastic!
Review: Gawd that movie was annoying. I blindly thought it was a sequel where Charlie had grown up and was ready to pass the factory on to someone else. That would have made perfect sense a generation later. But no-- it was a freakin' remake of a classic. And a sad one at that. Johnny Depp's performance was stilted and lifeless, unlike Gene Wilder who was eccentric and endearing. No wonder he's bitter! I guess the original had some deep meaning to me as a kid, and probably most of the kids today won't know the difference. But man did I sit there bored stiff. In fact the best part was the preview for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.
