Awarding it three stars as it delivers a satisfactory experience for those seeking a decent children's film with some standout moments. Regrettably, the casting of Willy Wonka falls short, portraying the character as underplayed and forgettable, lacking the enchantment that Gene Wilder brought to life. A missed opportunity to capture the magic of the original, leaving me longing for a creator who could do justice to the iconic character.
