Chalie and the Chocolate Factory trailer

Possibly the most irritating song ever used in a trailer. What were the promoters thinking? Nice way to alienate at least 50% of your potential audience, if you ask me.

Anyway. The movie looks a lot sillier than I hoped it would be. But there's still a chance that it will be half-decent. Try watching the trailer with the sound turned off.

I'm afraid I share your sentiments joseph.

I would really like this to be the big movie event of 2005, but the marketing appears to be off to a rocky start.

Ack! It is discouraging that they may be about to mess up another potentially good one.  I downloaded the trailer but I'm not set up to play that particular movie player, it seems. Based on your reactions its probly best to leave it that way!

Give me a minute, I've just watched the trailer, and am trying to decide which thing about it was the most wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Hmm, yes, the music I think. Closely followed by Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. He's a great talent, yes, but he's no Willy Wonka. I'm sure Roald Dahl is rolling in his grave at what appears to be the 'It's a Small World' treatment of his novel as well.
I thought Tim Burton might have taken a rather darker approach to it - that would've been interesting.
Anyhow - proof of the film will be in the watching...

love,
Bijou

I actually don't have a problem with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and I'm not sure the movie really looks that bad. In fact, I think it's almost impossible to judge with such a crappy trailer. Right now, I think it could go either way.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
