This Sums it up

A hollow, sugar-rushed disaster. Wonka’s magic? Gone. The songs? Painful. Chalamet flails between manic and robotic—when he’s not being flashbanged into another personality mid-scene. Visuals sparkle; shame they’re wasted on this soulless cash grab.

Film Review:

Wonka (2023)

A Disappointing Adaptation

Read Time: 1 min read

Rating: 2 out of 5.

What a shitshow pun intended.
A pretty sad adaptation of Willy Wonka’s story

Where do I start- Songs? Awful, Story? Boring, Visuals? Actually alright..

Every time someone broke into a song, I wanted to leave the theater. The only ones I found tolerable were the “Scrub song” and “Bribe song.” Even those were pretty musically unimaginative and repetitively incoherent.

The story was so boring I didn’t even care what happened after the credits rolled and the short green-haired man told me to sit tf back down. We get a super brief 2-minute introduction to the characters and they’re just background fodder in Wonka’s plan for the next 90 minutes.

I thought Timothy would be a wild outcast in this acting roster. I was mistaken. He pulled through at some points. However, on others, I could almost taste the director telling him to “lighten up.” His entire character dynamic changes like a flashbang. It’s so off-putting your cheeks begin to form this strange disfiguring scowl and as your nose turns up and.. ah yes.. it’s called cringe.

Unfortunately, it does not end there as his supporting lead..just simply wasn’t it. To avoid being completely rude, some acting lessons are needed for the future.

The entire theme of this movie felt like that Pepsi commercial with Kendal Jenner. Chocolates are more important to these people than breathing.
