Thank God Zoe doesn't post here anymore. She'd be PISSED if she knew I was talking about her sister like this.

fake drama in 3....2....1?
 
The casting was excellent, every character seemed to be just perfect. The flashbacks to Wonka's childhood seemed like filler and were rather preditcable. The Oompa Loompas were well done, but still fell far short of the original (which, in fairness, is nearly impossible to compete with).

They did keep truer to the books (with the exception of the flashbacks, mainly), as there was no Slugworth (I think that was his name), and no fizzy lifting drink. I liked that the Oompa Loompas were quite mischieveous (borderline evil).

From what I heard, they only used one person and the rest were CG
All of them were the same person copied over and over again with special effects. They are supposedly all him though and no CG.
