For a movie about one of the most magical characters in literature, this is a surprisingly un-magical movie.
I can hardly call this an "origin" story. The movie feels more like an episode of Wonka's adventures, and that's it. Doesn't stand out as a movie at all.
You can tell Wonka is extraordinary: he produces the best chocolate in the world from night to day, and everything about him comes with a magic trick. But there's never really a look into his magic. Instead, this is a very campy adventure about this silly guy and his friends trying to escape the bad guys. That's it.
Disappointing. A couple of songs stand out. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm not into something this campy.
However, Timothée Chalamet stands out. He proves he's a very good actor who can pull off almost any role. Who would know the "Call Me By Your Name" boy could play such a silly character with such confidence. He is the greatest thing about the movie. Too bad about the movie itself though.
