Disappointing Show...

Caught the movie, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' last night and have to say that it was a complete waste of time.. Although it has been long since I last read Roald Dahl's books, (and rightfully so) I remember that I had always been filled with a sense of wonder and adventure by his amazing stories and captivating style of writing.

I had no such experience at all.. There was no magic nor adventure, only a lousy script accompanied by a very average soundtrack(Danny Elfman losing his touch?) and irritating songs.. It's worrying how a poorly directed movie can tarnish the good reputation of a classic, especially for young children who have yet to read books like the Great Glass Elevator, the Big Friendly Giant, the Twits, Matilda and many more. I just hope they won't do the same to Chronicles of Narnia!

Rating: 3.5 out of 10 chocolate bars (You have been warned)
