I left the theater feeling extremely happy and optimistic. This film was so good and I loved that it was lighthearted. Timothée Chalamet is so fun to watch as Willy Wonka and he made the character so endearing. He really captured Wonka's charisma and charm through his acting and singing. Hugh Grant was hilarious as Lofty the Oompa Loompa, although I wish he were onscreen more. The entire cast of characters were charming to watch and I felt myself wanting to get up and dance with the songs because they were so catchy and they made me smile. I also loved how there were some elements from the 1970s original. Hearing Chalamet as Wonka do the strike that reverse it made me laugh. Go see this movie if you want to have a smile on your face!
I thought it was going to be modernized and it was far from it. I was expecting elements of the story throughout and there was minuscule amounts which got the Gen Z treatment. While there were some things about the modernization that I liked, but there were others that felt unnecessary to the plot. This show really should have been it's stand alone thing rather than be labeled as Goosebumps. The characters were bland and hardly had any personality and the parents were extremely unlike me and irritating. I kept watching to see if it would get better, but I was more disappointed with each episode. Aimed high but didn't hit the mark.
