I never thought I’d see a film to knock Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein off the top spot for Worse Film Of All Time but Wonka has done it! This film is so promising - phenomenal acting talent, production values and creative ideas but the terrible boring creaking plot - and those awful, awful songs! So so bad - tuneless, nonsensical, never ending and far too frequent. Just when you’re settling back into the longeurs of the ridiculous script thinking you’re safe, another song rears its nauseating head and it’s fingers in ears time again. The film would be so vastly improved without the soundtrack. Except for the horrors of a plot with more holes than a Swiss cheese and a giraffe milking scene - ick - with a song! Double Eeeeeeeew. Such a waste of an amazing hard working fabulous cast. Could have been an incredible movie with a tighter, more clever script and NO SONGS. Hugh Grant was cool though.
