Ehhhh... I thought it was all right. Maybe I'm just too stuck on how great the original was. Every time the Oompa Loompa songs started I rolled my eyes - they were damn near close to ruining the movie for me. It really wasn't them, I kinda liked their new look and story (and height) but their songs. Just really corny to me. BUT I liked the new Willy Wonka character and the added history to him. And of course I liked the new ending
I was anxious to see how the tunnel scene would go and while it didn't build as much suspense (or scare me) as the first I thought it was still pretty well done.
Charlie was soooo cute. They did a really good job picking the children for the parts. Did anyone else notice the eyes on these kids? Freakin' insane! Especially Augustus and Violet lol. Violet's face during the blueberry scene (after she had blown up) reminded me a little bit of the Exorcist...
I know that wasn't much of a review but I just wanted to talk about it lol. I give it a B- though, and I think I'm being nice doing that.
