Wonka is fun. It feels a lot closer to Roald Dahl’s style than the Tim Burton movie*. I don’t think Wonka’s origin story was really a tale that needed to be told, but it’s told well and worth watching if you’re a fan of the character. The music was pretty good, if not always memorable. A couple of the songs were really catchy, but most of them failed to leave an impression on me. The special effects are great, and it really captures the look its going for.
* ...which I also enjoyed, but when you get down to it, it felt more like a Tim Burton movie than a Roald Dahl story.
