The new Wonka movie is really entertaining & it's better than the reviews. It's not meant to be an homage or reinvention. It tells the origin story of Willy in a style that can only be described as Wonkified.
The best part is the that it does a nice job sprinkling in nods to the original. From subtle background music, orignal takes on certain songs, the slight limp in his walk & other things you can easily miss if you haven't seen the first a million times like me.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I too enjoyed the score for the movie, the story seemed a little long winded, but they did wrap it up in a beautiful bow. 🍫
@pendrag Any movie under 3hrs today is a win in my book.
@ThrasherPrime
True, if they keep up the multi hour features, I hope they reinstitute an intermission.
@ThrasherPrime 100% agree. I went in with very low expectations, and was delighted. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved hearing the subtle music from the original movie.
