Wonka

[JediMichael]

Another waist of film. Looks awful.

Well, looks like you are in luck. No film wasted.

I know what you mean...lol.
A movie like this is hard to judge from just a trailer though. Could end up being really good, or just awful trash.

 

[jkno]

Another Wonka? Not again! I'd go watch this only if there is a Predator fighting a Terminator for the oompa loompa skulls and spines.

Just the look that Gene Wilder has, is just so perfect that no other actor can probably ever top it.

Found this funny.

The thing that I like best about this upcoming movie is that not only do I know who the main character is, but seeing that this is a prequel—there is, therefore, nothing new to discover. Well, for me, that’s perfection.

You see, “new things” frighten and confuse me.

I am the the target audience for modern cinema.

They could have gone this route, but looks aside, I’m not sure if his acting and disposition could pull it off. Jeremy Allen White is known as a very dry actor with minimal personality, and Gene had something special. Though, maybe he could have surprised us.

"Charisma" might've been a poor choice of words but Chalamet is a weird choice to attempt to capture the quirky personality of Gene Wilder, given that this is apparently supposed to be a "Wilder Wonka" prequel, as I understand it.

Yeah, it's "Solo" all over again. Now matter how good the actor, you can't help but compare him to the iconic, one-of-a-kind actor that defined the role.

I know it's the wrong musical, but still:

Maybe Sideshow Bob could play Wonka?

Phil Hartman, how we miss you.

I would definitely go see a Wonka starring Gonzo!

 

[ScourgiousJinx]

I have no interest in this but am not surprised or bothered by its existence. Just seems as though it will most likely fade into obscurity.

 

[JiminSTLouis]

TOTALLY SHOCKED!

My wife and daughter dragged me to see this movie, and on Christmas Day of all days. I LOVED it! It was such a great and fun movie with lots of nods to the original music, songs and the look and feel of Wonka and his whacky style of making candy. I think Gene Wilder would be proud of the way they treated the character he created. The end showing his imagination creating the chocolate factory was incredible. Oh and Hugh Grant’s Oompa Loompa had me laughing out loud.

A highly recommended feel good movie.

 

[JediMichael]

I totally forgot about this movie. I still do not have a huge excitement to see it, but maybe someday I'll get around to it.

 

[EatmonTR]

Loved it. Immediately wanted to make his travel factory.

 

[Laspector]

I only made it about halfway through this. Horrible beyond description. Found myself fast forwarding through those god awful songs. Decided my time is more important than this.

 

[cboath]

Saw it last night. Movie was pretty good. Howere, if you want to make a prequel to a musical that has a couple of the greatest songs, you know, you have to create good and memorable songs. There was one song the did prety good with where he opens the chocolate shop. The rest were totally forgettable and dare i say boring.

I went in with zero expectations and found that I really enjoyed it.
