Pros and Cons

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2006)

Pros:
(1) Oompa Loompa's and their songs are actually pretty cool.
(2) Visuals are stunning!
Cons:
1) Acting VERY one-dimensional. Neither parent seemed to care that something horrible had befallen their kids. And Johnny Depp's character was just plain boring.
2) Script very boring. Dialogue was dumb and unnecessary to a point. Movie would be just the same, if not better, if no one even spoke. If not for the amazing visual effects, it would be hard to keep any kind of interest.
Overall:
O.k. to watch if nothing else around. First 30 minutes and last 30 minutes of this film are very uninteresting and really boring. If nothing else, watch the Oompa Loompa sequences which are great.
