The film follows a young wonka just starting out and attempting to open his first shop just to be foiled by the chocolate cartels... no, really.
It's a little telling when the very scene of the movie is a musical number so flat it belongs in the beauty and the beast live action.
Timothee Chalamet in the role of wonka was ok but so very avarage, I realize he was to play a young Wonka but the character had no personality what so ever. The side characters shined in comparisons.
The most memorable part of the movie is the ending and that's only because they redid the songs from the Gene Wilder version as well as an updated visuals of the chocolate factory.
Overall the movie is average, it just lacks a spark. Everything is flat and even the "magical" parts are treated like they're mundane with zero reaction from the cast bringing the tone down.
