However

Ed Wood, was watchable

Nightmare before, was ok and quite clever

Sleepy Hollow, was ok

Ed Scissors was excellent

but think of the dross and his record with remakes (ok I can only think of planet of the apes) but the original is a fave (despite having no respect for a certain stars stance on firearms). I hated Beetle Juice, Peewee, Big fish etc, etc. Yup, I stand by my comment overated, as for him being a Goth, questionable. That aside he started in the movie business at 13 so he was a prodigy to a point.

Whirly have you gone mad?? 😛

Ed Wood - one of the best films EVER!!

TNBC - FANTASTIC! loved it & can wait for The Corpse Bride

ES - definitely a classic

Apes - omg how wretched 😘

Beetlejuice - Wonderful! Bravo!

Big Fish - so friggin great. have seen it 100 times and STILL adore it!!

(oh and his cameo in Singles is still one of the all time best cameos ever! 😛)

Very funny movie, it made me feel like a child once more, thumbs up!

best movie I've seen this year 😱

My boyfriend and I watched this at the cinema recently and we both enjoyed it immensely. Depp was fantastic in his portrayal of Willy Wonka, he surpassed himself ✅ I've always loved him but in this role he managed to conjure up something a little different from the norm.

The best thing about the movie, for me, was the fact that Willy Wonka was given more of a persona, and a background. In the original he was simply a character, albeit a main one, with no personal origin to speak of. In the new film, he is given a past where we find out he has issues with his father and upbringing... this really helped to give the movie a more substantial basis, and was done extremely successfully.

Admittedly, I was worried about how Wonka would be compared to Michael Jackson, but upon seeing the film I can safely say that from my point of view any comparison is unfair. I can see how it would seem they are similar, in superficial ways, but I trusted Wonka implicitly throughout the whole movie and I wouldn't trust Jacko for a moment 🙄

Anyway, I'm digressing, if you haven't already seen this film I suggest you do so, it's a brilliant remake and I wasn't disappointed at all 😄

i agree, it was an excellent film ✅

clapping

Now we wait for Cine's comments fear

As much as I love Depp I would never watch this.

Finally someone who agrees with me! 💃

I can hardly wait to see it. I loved the original and Im looking forward to Tim Burtons version. From the trailors alone it looks well done.

i just saw it, and i liked it a lot, more than the original. i like the oompa loompa's songs!

I don't wanna see it.
I hate the way johnny depp plays it.
Really wrong

yeah, at first when i saw the trailer i was like 😬 wtf is Johhny thinking?? but when u actually see the movie.... idk, its like u get used to it or something, and its funny😄

it's a different interpretation...
one man's meat is another man's poison and all that 😊 atleast now there're two kinds for everyone to choose from ✅

the songs

yes, the songs....

🤨

I thought it SUCKED! I hated it!

The original is a thousand times better!

i liked it..

I just saw Willy Wonka on an IMAX screen. I enjoyed it. The Charlie kid is annoying, but Depp and the Umpa Lumpas are great. So is the fat German kid.
