Went to see Wonka this evening. Figured the kids might enjoy it. They did. Me? Well my expectations were low, but I did like the Paddington movies so gave it a shot. Chalamet was ok, inoffensive but missing the wit and menace. Still better than Depp’s Wonka, one of the worst performances ever.
All told I’d give it a B. Weird that they used some of the Newley-Bricusse songs or at least the music.
