It was not in the book and was not necessary. It only made the Wonka character less likable and ruined the ending. This is one movie that should not have been made. Why is it, Hollywood is insistant on remaking classics and ruining them? While I was there, I saw an advertisement for another remake that is doomed to failure. King Kong. Also I saw a poster for yet another remake. The Bad News Bears. Can't Hollywood come up with anything new? What's next? A remake of Casblanca directed by George Lucas and staring Hayden Christensen?
I thought King Kong looked awesome. I really can't wait to see it. Besides, the original movie is horrible... I mean, it's way to fake looking. It's pretty much just as bad as the old Godzilla movies.
Also, CATF really wasn't that bad of a movie... I think you just watched it with a slightly tainted view, maybe? It's alot easier to dislike something if you've already decided in your mind it's going to be awful.
