I saw the movie last with with ten of my friends and we all loved it. I didn't like the Oompa Loompas from either movies, and the new songs weren't so hot. I believe that all the kids played (and looked) their parts spectacularly. I think I may have enjoyed it more because I was with all my friends, but I still believe it was excellent if your not one of those people asking why they changed so much from the original and the book. Also, don't expect anymore than a kiddish movie from a kid's book.

By itself, it's a great movie.
