stupidest movie ever
First of all to you illiterates, the "india thing" was in the book. READ A BOOK and get some education!! Secondly, the first movie was much closer to the book. Third, I was expecting much better from Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. The character of Willy was totally off and the oompa loompa was weird and the songs not good. They really tried to modernize this movie and shoudn`t have. Classics are classic for a good reason. It still had a lot of good parts. It was only okay, not wonderful.
The reason why this movie is "so different and weird" as some are saying, is because it follows more true to the original story by Roald Dahl. However, I found it EXTREMELY entertaining and funny. Johnny Depp proves (once again) that he is a very talented and versatile actor who can take on almost any type of character and make it believable. The other actors were also very entertaining. I definitely recommend this movie for anyone - young and old, believers and skepticals. I am buying this one for sure.
no oompulas....well not the real ones..and no ompaloompa songs...Boo!
Amazing...absoultly amazing...the orginal i have seen a million times and of course its better but this one was better than i ever imagined...it was totally woth the 11 bucks i paid...fantastic
I liked the movie and I didn`t.. one of the grandma`s was a ditz and she was hilarious.. The movie was funny, dark, original, but it lacked excitment. I`m not saying don`t see it, but don`t expect it to be as exciting as it looks. I`d give it 3/5.
I HATE IT; OMG IT CRUMPLED MY LOVE FOR THE OOMPA LOOMPAS? wait! IT`S ONLY ONE LOOMPA psh! i take my "s" back >< I HATE IT; I HATE IT; I HATE IT. Bigheado_57+
Regretebly I must say that I was very dissappointed with this movie. I am a huge fan of Johnny Depp, yet I felt that his character seemed very cold and weird. There are many scenes in the movie which did not seem to make much sense (India?) also this remake does not capture the same magical essence the original did. I would recommened watching the movie but not going into it with too high of expectations.
I absolutly loved this movie, I am a huge fan of both Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. Having met Highmore before the movie ( ok i didn`t meet him but i did walk within 10 feet of him and exchanged hello`s)i was looking foward to this movie and absolutly loved it!!!!!!!!
I personally did not like this movie because the original was so good that nothing can really compare
