Went with a friend and did not stay to watch till the end of the movie.
My friend said he’s been there where it was filmed and he said it’s filmed in Milan Italy and I was like ok weird it’s filmed in Europe but ok later on in the film Willy Wonka does a french accent and the police an American accent and the poor people British.
This movie is soo messy and Timothee was not the right man for the roll way too chill and normal but also really bad acting, Willy WONKA is meant to a bit crazy outlandish and eccentric but Timothee is nothing like that in this role just your regular average joe.
Don’t get me started on the poster of the WONKA film coz that was miss leading it showed colours, it showed a candy land vibe pure imagination vibes but we don’t get that only in the second half of the film towards the end we finally see some colour.
The whole movie has a beige colour to it like it’s meant to show it’s in 1700s but Willy Wonka is wearing more modern clothing and also the there’s modern Italian buildings?!?!
back and forth to old style buildings then to the modern it’s so weird it’s like it didn’t have a time period.
Also people just burst out in song and dance in the weirdest of ways when it’s not really necessary just for the sake of it to be counted as a musical movie.
Also Why the hell is Hugh Grant the Oompa Loompa?
Also missed opportunity the chauffeur he is a horrible history’s actor Simon Farnaby who plays a crazy eccentric wild person who plays a civilian in the 1700s but also plays death in segment called stupid deaths in horrible histories.
In my opinion he would of been perfect to be a woker in the WONKA factor or even as WONKA himself but no they made him a chauffeur which makes no sense coz he still does the same wild crazy voice and acts crazy like he does in horrible histories but expect he’s wearing a suit and trying to look normal felt like a waste of his talent had so much more potential of Simon being more but they didn’t do that and it’s like they haven’t even watched Charlie and the chocolate factory.
The Johnny Depp version it’s so much better this is garbage once again they picked the wrong actor to be WONKA his acting was so bad from Timothee would not recommend.
