The entire review contains a lot of spoiler info, so don't click here and read it all, unless you want to be spoiled:

The Oompa-Loompas, digitally created from only one actor, Deep Roy, who some of you may remember as Princess Aurora's Pet in Flash Gordon, are the equal of those in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory but, annoyingly, the songs are not as memorable, despite Augustus Gloop being so close to Fleetwood Mac's Tusk that I expected to hear, "Real savage like!" within the song. The narration by Geoffrey Holder, Baron Samedi in Live and Let Die is, though, less successful and could have been cut from the film, particularly as it sounds to have been badly dropped in pitch.
