The Oompa Loompa songs from the book are not better; Gloop is rhymed with nincompoop.

I like the ending of the old movie as it portrayed Charlie doing what he thought was right in spite of both his gain (the money from Slugworth) and the loss of someone he felt had wronged him. He's a kid, not a saint, and makes a mistake with the lifting drinks. In the book, he was just the last one left. There was no demonstration of Charlie actually being a decent person. The book has more flaws than the old movie; the changes were an improvement.

The new movie did stay closer to the book unless you count the stuff about Wonka's childhood or the ending. But I really don't think staying closer to the source material necessarily makes a movie any better.
