I watched Wonka with my 6 and 7 yr old niece and nephew. None of us loved it. And I was really expecting to be WOWED. But it lacked magic for me. I thought Timothy Chalamet was insipid and weak, also he couldn't really sing; lacked the charisma Johnny Depp and Gene Wilder both had in spades.
The only character that really entertained me was Hugh Grant's Oompa Loompa and he wasn't on screen enough, alas. The Cartel trio fell flat altho' it was cool to see three of the cast members of Ghosts in this. The young girl Noodle - I really didn't believe her character tbh.
The set also reminded me of Lisbon, Portugal, strangely. Just not enough pizazz and the music was not very memorable at all. My nephew complained about the singing.
It was just meh for me and I'm sad about that.

High expectations were dashed
The original is still better
How are the graphics for the new movie worse than the old movie ?
It literally makes no sense why the graphics are so bad
You could of made the flying chocolate look more real
Too much singing
And not enough catchy songs
They should of spent more time on developing this and not having unneeded songs
I liked the oompa loompa
I'm not sure why everyone was giving him a hard time
The ending was very endearing
But, it's not what I wanted
Focus on wonka
Not noodles family situation
I wanted to give this a higher score
The graphics ruined it for me
There was definitely some funny parts
The movie was entertaining
Just the execution wasn't there.
