The oompa loompas bugged me here. They bugged me in the original movie. But I never saw the whole original movie.

I went into this as open-mided as possible (which was hard), and while I thuoght that some scenes, or some lines were really, really horrible, I liked it. It was funny, which was good, but everyone in my theater would laugh HYSTERICALLY at every single joke, which kind of turned me a bit cynical.

Well, for one, I could actually watch this entire mvoie without getting bored. Same cannot be said for the original. I think Tim Burton did a great job. Casting was excellent. Dialogue was good, for the most part.

If you just want to be entertained for two hours, I'd say this movie is a good choice.
