    Finally, a Wonka character that isn't duplicitously creepy. Those complaining that the other movies featuring Wonka were better obviously have some deep-seated hatred for decency among people and for seeing justice prevail against the evil over-advantaged. If you love magic, wit, and wonder and you root for the under-dog because it's the right thing to do, this movie is for you. Hugh Laurie stole every scene he was in, but the cast is formidably rich on its own. Visceral, comical and beyond-the-archetype characters along with a fun score move this storyline along handily. The special effects were top-notch, but the fact that the "anti-woke" crowd (whatever "woke" is supposed to mean) doesn't like this makes me want to go see it ten times over as it is truly a progressive and timely Wonka. Dahl was on the cusp of progressivism appropriate for his day, and he utilized his talent to out the disgusting nature of people, but this treatment clearly gives the viewer even more hope that the just and creative can thrive in the face of great disadvantage. We need a film like this considering what passes for cultural standards today. Go see it.

    I liked it better than older Wonka movies that are outdated now. Willy is young, fun, mischievous and not too quirky. Noodle was great too.

    It was okay, but not as good as the other Wonka movies. Not sure I would recommend it unless you're a huge fan of the character.

    Great storyline and excellent acting by Chalamet. Not the greatest singer, but he does not need to be. I would definitely go and see it again. I had low expectations after seeing the version with Depp. This is so much better.

    They destroyed Willy Wonka. This is what happens when the woke take over the movie industry.
