Title: This is just sad
Review: I like Johnny Depp. He's played many excellent roles. This is not one of them. It's not that he's not good here, it just that this should have never happened in the first place. It's a poor adaptation and pales in comparison to the 1971 version with Gene Wilder. I watched it with high hopes but I don't think anyone will ever be able to play Willy Wonka like Gene Wilder did. It wouldn't matter how good Depp played the role, he'll never be able to usurp Wilder's version from my mind. This version is mostly fine if you've never seen the original adaptation. But if you have seen it then this version is worthless. If you haven't seen it, then the old version represents a time bomb that you may eventually set off(by watching it) and subsequently ruin Depp's version for yourself.
Is the review positive or negative?
