I've really been looking forward to it, and put absolutely ZERO stock in critic reviews. I've been known to be perfectly entertained by some really stupid .
Official thread. Anyone who's seen it post here.
I haven't seen it. Maybe I will if I'm dragged into it, and I don't have to pay, and I have 2 hours to waste.
The Austin American Statesman said it was eye candy, but Burton changed some things like giving Wonka's weird personality a background story (lame..) and also changed the ending.
They also said Depp's interpretation of Wonka sucked ass. He tries too hard and the character seems to have no real life.
I said it back in the day when this remake was on the horizon....Give me Gene Wilder as willy wonka any day of the week. Noone can outdo that performance....not even an actor as talented as Depp.

I think I'll wait for the DVD on this one. Some things are meant to be watched in the privacy of your own home, with some illegal substances and a bottle of Crown.

no doubt. i was just throwing that in there cuz i read it while having lunch. I am party biased because im against remakes of any kind, and this remake craze is pissing me off more and more with every remake....BUT.....willy wonka, to me, is just one of those things that you should leave alone. Its a movie that is shown to kids on days when the teacher didn't feel like teaching. A movie shown in summer camp when the counselors didn't feel like giving a damn. A movie that has comforted us when we're bored, lost, or craving candy.
Its an awesome, magical movie. And there was nothing wrong with it. Nothing. The songs were bad ass (those are gone in the new version except an oompa song), the oompas were freaky, and wonka was weird but not gay.
My main reason for wanting to see it is to see if Depp can be even as remotely creepy as Wilder was.....because he's pretty damn dark.
And I LOVED that movie. I just got it on DVD a couple of months ago, after wearing out the VHS.
Man, I was against this remake from the get go, but I've come off if a bit. It's Burton, and he was more true to the book which came before the movie. That is my understanding.
I don't know if I'll watch it in theaters, but we shall see.
I will probably catch it after Work and the Regal Beagle later tonight.
I can't wait to see it. I don't put a lot of stock into critics either, many of them trashed War of the Worlds and many of you thought it was great.
well this critic will always give ato remakes
Johnny Depp is one of America's greatest actors.
Just like in "Finding Neverland" he has another brilliant performance.
He IS the Golden Ticket.
Bas s, with a name like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", you would think it is about the post-Wonka era with Charlie running the company. ERRRG.
The Bambino, the Sultan of Swat
It has a girls signature on it...Babe Ruth.
*Babe Ruth...ahhhhhhh*
I really enjoy his acting. A real stud.
Depp is a .
ugh...i hated the original and IT'S ALWAYS ON HBO, plus we have the DVD because my husband loves this movie. He can take the kids to see it.
However, I heart Johnny Depp
Just saw it. I hated it. Johnny was amazing in his role....but I think they portrayed him as FAR too creepy. Maybe it's because the original was one of my all-time favorites as a child, but I liked the more innocent version.
IMO, it sucked.
Willy Wonka is supposed to be a creepy character. If anybody has ready the book you would know. Gene Wilder played an okay Willy but not near as creepy as he should have been. I haven't seen the flick yet, but I think Depp will play it dark enough to give an accurate portrayal of the book.
cant be faded, are you 11? you love urkel(almost ed when you saw him in person, think his show is one of the greatest of all time) and now are all enthralled with the willy wonka movie.
Johnny Depp is a freak
I saw it last night, and really enjoyed it. Johnny did make him creepy which is the way the book is. He did a great job as always.
Sort of OT
The European premiere will be tomorrow in a cinema just in front of the hotel I'm staying in. I actually have a very good view of the red carpet from my room.
So any hotties in this one? Should I invest in a telephoto lens? If I do will the snipers mistake my telephoto lens for a gun?
are you as illiterate and stupid as you are conservative
re-read my post and if you think the word "enthralled" describes my feelings about willy wonka then you are as illiterate and stupid as you are conservative
you seriously are putting your party to shame man, youre a freaking disgrace
and family matters is one of the greatest. if it was with white people trying to buy tahoes and support bush you would have loved it too.
willy wonka sucks.. wilder or depp... them both... you must be 11 years old. .. go suck urkel's or something...that was a terible show too and urkel is a terrible actor... hence, him not ever having any other work except that ... but you came in your pants when you saw him at that restaurant...just like an 11 year old kid would do...
i still can't believe you love urkel...
