I thought it was *excellent* up until the point when Charlie enters the factory. In comparison, that part of the story was weak in the original film. Once he enters the factory however, I was terribly disappointed; the original film was better in every way.It's hard not to compare it to the original, but... Wonka as insecure and effeminate? A NOT scary boat ride? No fizzy-lifting drink? ONE Oompa-Loompa, cloned with computer graphics?
I hate to sound cranky, but the kid in me really was disappointed :-(
