Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: This is a story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected; in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.

waste of time

This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. Save your time and rent the original. Johnny Depp should be killed. If I ever see Tim Burton I will beat him to a bloody pulp! Complete crap. Worse than crap. I would rather watch crap for a few hours. So bad It's still playing in my DVD player as I write this. Gene Wilder should really sue someone. Did I say this movie sucked. I can't remember. Please let me post this. I can't take it anymore! The songs are ridiculous. The acting is terrible (except for Charlie, he is always wonderful). It's STILL playing in my DVD played. Please IMDb let me finish this already, the people need to know!!!
