Negative Positive
Title: Joyless and unfunny, but good for the emotionally handicapped
Review: What this movie has in computerized special effects, it loses in character development, wit, humor, musical performance, and joy. In other words, it is another Tim Burton remake of a 70s flick ("Planet of the Apes" should be considered a crime against humanity). Let's hope that in another 30 years, a better director comes along who is able to capture the frivolity of the original film, especially with its heavyhanded moralizing. Johnny Depp is forgettable in this movie as Willy Wonka, and all his lines fall flat. This movie has no laughs. Don't bother with it.
