I was looking forward to this movie (loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a kid), but I have to admit that the trailer really put a damper on it. I don’t know what it was, but something was really off about it.
Wilder’s Wonka was contemptuous of children. That’s why it worked so well. When Charlie did something gracious at the end it’s a huge release for both Wonka and the audience —one we’ve been waiting for. In the meantime we got to laugh at Wonka dunking on brat kids. This movie and Chalamet seem to be missing that vibe entirely.
This is where we are huh? Somewhere someone had the idea of an origin movie of Willy fucking Wonka and it made it through every stage to be made into a film.
And also somewhere, someone is super fucking stoked to watch this 🤦♂️
I have more faith in this than most, mostly if not entirely sue to it being written and directed by Paul king and Simon Farnby and the made the Paddington movies which are phenomenal
The massive negativity over this movie is so funny to me, I bet everyone saying this shit also regurgitates received opinions about how great paddington is without realizing that it shared a director with this. At least give it a chance
Chalamet seems horribly miscast
Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa is pretty great tho
oddly enough, Chalamet looks like Freddie Highmore here
So, who is this movie for? I can’t get my head around why someone would make this in the first place.

At a distance, at a glance it looks like Steve Coogan.
*’I’ve just been eating some mouse’.*
This genuinely looks like it was made by AI
Ugh did anyone ask for this?
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it…
The Gene Wilder version is too classic to be trampled over in the name of $$$.
This looks like the designer was only 75% done
In both the trailers I’ve seen so far, they include the line “see how Willy became Wonka” or something to that effect
And I keep thinking, it’s his family name, so is this just his birth?
Looks like another movie for me to completely ignore.
It’s directed by Paul King, so I dont even care *what* it is, I’m going to pay for a ticket!
Why is this movie?
This is going to be absolutely awful.
This movie is going to bomb
Pass.
I can see the layers in Photoshop
Didn’t watch the Depp one, aint gonna watch this one.
My god this looks miserable
Wow this is awful
Why is it so cheap-looking?
I’m not hating it, but I honestly don’t expect this movie to make as much money as WB seems to hope it will.

This looks pretty bad. The trailer and poster
This is so bad…
I certainly hope the two people who asked for this are happy now.

Akshully, it’s [Jonka](https://www.reddit.com/r/weeklyplanetpodcast/comments/q8902y/jonka_wonka_episode_369/).
We’re going to see the original story of [Jilliam Jonka’s forward roll™](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a_vUfubldMM).
The look of this reminds me of the Jingle Jangle Netflix Christmas movie….which is not a compliment.
Get ready to wonka your willy
Please tell me this poster isn’t real.
Damn – this poster is an absolute mess
