In this latest film, it's clear that something vital is missing. Despite the commendable efforts of a talented cast, they struggle against a script that is both boring and predictable. Their performance, while earnest, cannot elevate the lackluster storyline.
The music, often a redeeming feature in such films, sadly fails to deliver. It doesn't capture the audience's interest or invite participation. There's a noticeable lack of catchy tunes or engaging rhythms, making the musical aspect forgettable.
Targeted at families, the film surprisingly doesn't resonate with children. The humor is limited and mostly revealed in the trailers, leaving little to be discovered in the theater. The sporadic laughs from the younger viewers are few and far between, indicating the film's failure to connect with its intended audience.
A key element missing is the enchanting and quirky charm typically associated with "Wonka movies." This film follows a too straightforward and mundane path, lacking the vibrancy and uniqueness that made previous films stand out. Overall, it's a disappointing experience that lacks the magic and personality needed to make it memorable.

Thursday morning, wife asks if we can go to the movies and sends the trailer of this movie. I watch only a few seconds and made up my mind. The lightning, composition and color were more than enough to give it a go.
And now, about the movie...It goes without saying that I loved the aesthetic of it. Indie, pastel colours all over the place accompanied with good looking compositions and very well paced cuts. At times, the lightning of the scenes would make very good photo.
If you are more interested in the story, I will simply say that it's a funny, hopeful and magical romance story with lovely secondary roles that could have one entire movie each. If I had to add something "negative", some of the VFX leaves some room for improvement (some were spot on and would go completely unnoticed to most eyes), but that, in the end, is a matter of time and budget.
So thank you to the entire team for your work :) Loved it.
