The New Oompa Loompa Ruined It!

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2005)

It is difficult to compare the new version with the original but I think the new one is not in the same league. The new oompa loompa ruined the film, the songs weren't funny and neither was he. It looked animated which it was and it really spoiled the film.
The new version also lacked any real emotion with regards to the poverty of the Bucket family. In the original you really felt sorry for Charlie and his family but this film didn't convey the situation very well.
The acting in the film was good but it really lacked the magic that the original had. I don't understand why they decided to use one oompa loompa and make the sets look fake. If they hadn't done this the film would have been much better. To be fair the new film had a lot to live up to but it simply is not as good as the original.
