CRAZY JOHNNY DEPP! WE LOVE YOU, JOHNNY! I wanted to hug him throughout the whole movie. He needed a hug.

They kept the actual Oompa-Loompa lyrics from the book!

Saruman has sunk to a new low- taking lollies from children. It's his own child, but still... Oh, yeah, and that woman who was giving out lollies to the trick-or-treaters was Margaret the Slitheen! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, KIDS!

The last five minutes or so were a major deviation from the book, but I didn't mind. Usually I kick up a fuss when stuff changes (like the whole Osgiliath thing in TTT) and then get over it, but I didn't care. Johnny needed another hug. He was like "Come with me and you'll never have to see your family again!" and Charlie was like "But I love my family!" and Johnny was all crushed and sad and huggable and he was like "Okay. See you around." and jetted off in the Elevator and the family was like "That was kind of weird." and then the Elevator came back through the roof and Johnny stuck his head out the door and was like “Did I also mention, it travels in time?” and Charlie turned to Grandpa Joe and said “Thanks.” and Joe said “For what?” and Charlie said “Exactly.” and kissed him on the cheek and ran into the Elevator.

I liked Willy Wonka's backstory. Yay for all the emotional stuff! It gives him an excuse for being severely bent. And then it's resolved and the factory becomes a place of light and harmony and everyone skips about, dancing and singing like those really disturbing puppets at the start. And I have a new icon. Squee to the shippy!
