Saw "Charlie and the Choclate factory" last night
 

It was OK with good graphics (I expected to be better with all the great reviews), but you have to go with a child's view point. If you take your kids, they will love it, I did.
I will see "The Wedding Crashers" next.

dam i really need to go see that flick everyones been saying how good it was

Thanks for the comment. I'll go check this one :)

did they have the oompa loompas in it?

those midget green dudes with the strange hair that sang that song: "oompa doompa doompity doo - i've got another puzzle for you!"

they were the best part of the original movie. without the remake will be severely lacking

Yeah, they were in this one as well, though of course they looked quite different.

I really liked this movie, Johnny Depp was absolutely hysterical.

I liked the movie a lot!

The Umpa Loompa's have a new song now. It goes, "Umpa Loompa umpity doo...I've got another Iraqi Umpa for you!".

There was only one Umpa and they CGI'd the rest of them. I laughed my ass off at them though (their dances were updated and histerical!). Definetely go check it out. :2 cents:

Has anyone seen Wedding Crashers?

got GREAT reviews for the comedy in it. (..Chocloate Factory got horrible reviews from what i've seen, surprised to see you gave it a good one).

Movies.com gave it great reviews, but I said it was OK. Wedding Crashers had a bad review on Movies.com, also.

Looks kind of freaky to me.

way too much cgi as is usual in most big buget movies these days. most of the factory was probably fake, the umpa loompas were fake. instead of the cheesy songs they used to sing they were all these big fake production numbers. i liked the movie but still prefer the old one.

Going to see it tonight... thanks for the feedback! :upsidedow

I totally agree, it was cartoonish, but still good.

it was alright, definately a movie all kids should watch

The songs that they sang were the actual lyrics from the songs that the Oompa Loompas sang in the book.

well thats a plus then, i haven't read the book since 3rd grade so i thought they were just trying to make them 'better'.

I got the soundtrack and it says Words and Lyrics by Roald Dahl, Music By Danny Elfman.

They're not complete word for word, but the lyrics come from the book.

Rottentomatoes.com is the only review site that matters. :thumbsup

it's really intended to be a kid movie and it looks like they will love it. I will go and see it next week.

I really enjoyed the movie myself, but my reviews never matter because I enjoy all movies (believe it or not, I don't go to shows to analyze).

I saw it on an IMAX screen :glugglug

lol...i was thinking of seeing that film yesterday.. I ended up buying a Led Zep stuff

i'm seeing it on imax tomorrow i hope

I don't think I will ever go to see that movie.

okay, i know that was a good film because of Johnny Depp's popularity.

Looked like a kids movie anyways.

They said the child's acting there is absolutely commendable. I think I'll see this one.

it was weird how wonka's dad was count dooku.

and... depp is a great actor, but did anyone else think his character influence was michael jackson?

the movie was good, more true to the book... in parts.
there were a lot of extra scenes that weren't in the book at all.

as gene wilder said, the only reason to redo this movie is $$$$$

Should be much better seeing it on imax :thumbsup

I saw it today with my daughter - she liked it, I think it sucked.

Willy Wonka looked like he's been hitting the mushrooms a little bit too much since they made the last movie.

Saw it here in Las Vegas last night at the IMax in the Palms Hotel with my kids. It was a BLAST!
IMax is the way to see it!!

I still have to watch it.

I have to mostly agree with you there, but I don't it sucked totally. It was O.K. for me but my kids loved it.

i've enjoyed those fantastic graphics and effects.

I was watching some making of Willa Wonka on TV the other day. Most of that stuff isn't CGI, including the squirrels. They trained those fuckers to do manual labor.

Wedding Crashers was the funniest shit i have seen for a long time!

i almost walked out 30 minutes in. i thought it sucked ass.

i watched it already and it is worth watching it in big screen. i loved it! i love it better than wedding crashers.

Will go see it soon :thumbsup

I'm seeing it when it comes out regardless of what anyone says. I was so against this remake for years until Burton and Depp came on board.

Probably not as much cgi as you think.




This was very interesting.
