what do you mean its not cannon? 1. when the sovereign fell through wonks pocket into the drain, that was a reference to when Charlie found the sovereign that awarded him the golden ticket 2. The walking down and up the stairs is a call back to the OG 3. The inspiration to the fine print 4. The reference to the golden ticket and many others. It is cannon.
I tried, but I could t get through this. Between the “I’ve seen/read Wonka 20x”, and yet missing every reference, but especially the sheer “I’m 20/30 something, and think I know better” smarminess was just too much to watch, sorry.
One of the most underappreciated movie of 2023 ngl. This movie is so fun and whimsical. The songs are great, and Timothée Chalamet does a great job of making the role his own.
@@ThatSamoanGuy My opinion. Maybe Wonka was under appreciated because Wonka is a musical and people don’t like musicals or didn’t want to see another Willy Wonka film. I don’t think many people were aware Wonka is an origin story of a young Willy Wonka. What a magical, beautiful, happy optimistic film Timothee Chalamet was amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonka was magical. I smiled throughout this film. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This movie was honestly better than I expected. And it is a real kids/family movie, which I feel like is pretty rare these days... Paul King is awesome tho, Paddington 2 might be the best sequel ever made haha. You definitely need to watch them on the channel!
It made me really nostalgic thinking about movies like Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, or Mary Poppins. I feel like they don’t make “family” movies that aren’t animated so much anymore.
I was in a really bad place but my friend took me out to watch this, and it was JUST what i needed. Srsly ive never seen a more inspiring movie and didnt make me hungry for chocolate at all which is big because a health condition had me sworn off chocolate against my will, how strong am i?😅
This was the same director as the Paddington films, and I’d say so far he has an excellent track record:) Paul King makes the kinds of movies folks would say “wow, they don’t make them like this anymore.” ❤
Will you react to Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical at some point? 🙂 And you should definitely watch ”Call me by your name” with Timothee Chalamet. He is nothing less than brilliant in it!
I haven't seen this new movie. But I grew up with the book, and the Gene Wilder film. Keep up the great job gals! And have you talked to the boys recently? How was the wedding of James and his girlfriend?
The original movie wasn’t really my thing as a kid, but when this was coming out I decided to give it a rewatch and liked it a lot more. And this wound up being a very pleasant surprise. I honestly like it more than the original, overall. Wait! There was credit scenes! The rest of the friend group get their own happy endings!
This is the first movie I’ve seen with Timmothy Chálame and I honestly love how overly whimsical he is in this, and he does the emotional parts well too while keeping that ‘whimsical character’ mask on. A solid first impression for me lol Btw my favorite thing about this movie is the ‘chocolate cartel’ names were the names of companies who sent in spies to get Wonka’s secret recipes in the Tim Burton movie so there was references to both movies💕
I was pleasantly surprised by the performances in this. I knew nothing about it, but my mum had a very expensive movie experience gifted to her and my dad for their wedding anniversary, that my dad refused to use, so she took me instead. We saw this and I really enjoyed it. Timothée Chalamet was very good, and Calah Lane is fantastic as Noodle.
I watched it for the first time last night and I thought it was just some wholesome, good movie that had some laugh-out-loud moments, and some sweet moments (no pun intended). Never watched anything of TC's before but I'm a fan now. I did think it was clever in the tie-ins to the og. I could see how Noodle would likely be his chosen successor, but if something happened to her, which caused him to shut down the factory to re-think his plan, Noodle's expression, 'the greedy beat the needy' could easily have influenced many of the things he did in the og. That's just my take from one watch though.
That's a good thing. He needs to put his own fingerprints on the character as an actor, not be a copycat. He can borrow tropes, sure, and he has because he was clearly asked to (not that I'm complaining, as Gene's is the definitive Wonka), but he holds his own.
I really liked this film (and the music) and wasn't expecting to at all, so it was a nice surprise! Also fun to see so many British comedians in there. (It felt like half of Ghosts and a good chunk of Taskmaster contestants were in the film.)
Got excited to see your reactions to this one since you both recently did the Mamma Mia reactions. I wanted to see it in theaters during the Christmas season, but never got the chance. So it would have felt right to see it during then. But otherwise was pretty sweet (no pun intended) your reactions.
'This is a La Guardia boy." Have you seen 'Fame' from 1980, it was filmed there at La Guardia, one of my drum instructors went there during the filming. it's awesome from the get go
I took my daughter and husband to see this in the theatre and we went out smiling with warm christmas feeling. I loved this, perfect whimsical Roald Dahlesque, way better that the Johnny Depp disaster and the 70’s weird flick.
Already seen a comment recommending it, but you should check out Matilda the Musical. It adapts the stage musical (that's been around for over a decade) perfectly while also making it more of a cinematic spectacle.
I saw this in the theater and I too went into it with some trepidation. When the movie starts I heard the opening notes/bells that mimic the same notes we hear when they enter the chocolate room in the original Wonka I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I didn’t mind most of the callbacks/easter eggs such as scratch that, reverse it and such. I have heard Chalamet say that the intention is to have this be part of the same universe as Wilders and that a sequel is planned and we will see him become somewhat jaded as that one goes on. We shall see if it plays out.
people get so snobby about films they make there minds up before even seeing them then they cant really get past that or want to admit they enjoyed watching them its sad really. this was a great fun family film but i guess its all about our own personal opinions
Fun fact, actually the movie wasn’t originally called Charlie and the chocolate factory. It was actually called Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. It wasn’t until the Tim Burton Johnny Depp version of the movie that they called it Charlie and the chocolate factory for the first time.
The original Roald Dahl book was titled “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” the 1971 film was the first to alter the name to focus on Wonka. The Tim Burton film didn’t actually change the title!
I’m so excited that you’re finally reacting to _Wonka._ Now I don’t know if the both of you mentioned it in the video and if you’ve already seen those movies or not, but It would be awesome if the both of you react to _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_ and _Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ along with some other films based on the works of Roald Dahl such as _The Witches_ (the 1990 movie starring Anjelica Huston), _Matilda_ (both the 1996 and 2022 films), _James and the Giant Peach,_ and _Fantastic Mr. Fox_
@@sawanna508Oh yes The BFG too, how did I left that one out. There is also the 1989 animated version by Cosgrove Hall besides the 2016 version by Steven Spielberg. The reason I didn’t include is if both Hayley and Stella would end up reacting to it since they have their own preferences on what they want to react to.
I had absolutely zero interest when I heard about this movie. Thought a Wonka prequel was a dumb cash grab attempt. Didn't even watch the trailers or anything. Didn't even watch it until about a month ago when my family wanted to watch it since it was available to stream. I was pretty cynical about it for a hot minute and was pretty much just saying he didn't feel like Wonka to me at all. Fast forward to the end of the movie and I have the damn music stuck in my head and absolutely loved it lmao. Crazy how fast life comes at you B)
Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing
I agree with Stella, this is absolutely NOT in canon with the og movie. This world seems really fantastical and surreal and whimsical, but in the og movie, the world still functioned realistically. It was Wonka's factory where all the magic happened, thats part of what made it special. Not to mention, all the characters in the original reacted to the weirdness of the factory like you'd expect they would, so it doesn't make sense that this movie's world is so ridiculous and outlandish. Being weird and zany is supposed to be WONKA'S defining character trait, not the entire town's.
Hayley and Stella. Your comments are too negative and you’re both conceited. Maybe your comments are not negative, but it gives off negative vibes to me. I refuse to watch any any negative reaction about Timothee Chalamet. He is an amazing talent! Don’t put this movie down! His fandom won’t like that. BTW: I will say when I saw Wonka in theaters twice, I had to buy chocolates. Now that it’s streaming on movie channels. I need my chocolate fix at home. .
42:02 Totally agree. It was the woke version of Wonka. Definitely not the same character as the great Gene Wilder. Too many special effects. I gave this movie 2 stars, at best. As for the reaction, 10 stars! :)
This movie was adorable and charming.
what do you mean its not cannon?
1. when the sovereign fell through wonks pocket into the drain, that was a reference to when Charlie found the sovereign that awarded him the golden ticket

Underappreciated? If anything it's overappreciated. Everyone i talk to loves this movie, and it was still selling out months after it came out.
It’s not underappreciated at all!’quite the contrary
You bet it's a good movie I own this for myself and I can never get enough of it ☺️😉
@@ThatSamoanGuy My opinion. Maybe Wonka was under appreciated
because Wonka is a musical and people don’t like musicals or didn’t want to see another Willy Wonka film. I don’t think many people were aware Wonka is an origin story of a young Willy Wonka.

@@ThatSamoanGuythe older generations love it the newer ones might not get it as much.
The best surprise of 2023 hope you can watch the Tim Burton one and the Gene Wilder one.
Ditto and even though the both of them have seen the 1971 film, I’d love to see their reaction to it along with the 2005 film by Tim Burton.
This movie was honestly better than I expected. And it is a real kids/family movie, which I feel like is pretty rare these days... Paul King is awesome tho, Paddington 2 might be the best sequel ever made haha. You definitely need to watch them on the channel!

When I die I want oompa loompas to imediatley come out and sing a song about the life lessons you should take from my demise
Wonka is such a charming film.
Ya’ll should put Matilda The Musical on your list.
PLEASE.
i loved seeing timothee do something like this after all the drama rolls hes been doing, dude is incredibly charming
Will you react to Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical at some point? 🙂

i guess you didn't get the easter eggs rightfully however to each there own
That was my thought. So many callbacks. It is cannon.
This movie is pretty good. Love this reaction too! Also Hayley and Stella are always looking great and I like that Danny Phantom shirt Hayley.

it actually surprised me that this movie was pretty good, like wow they made me laugh and smile and feel some feels too!
At 39:16 I cried
My young daughters loved it. That's all that matters to me. The fact that I liked it too is a bonus.
You ladies should watch Timothy in “Little Women”. But, after you watch the 90s one with Christian Bale ❤
Even if I prefer the 90's version, Timothy did a very good job there
Please watch the Gene Wilder one.
This is a great prequel and origin story to the whacky candy maker.
That is the mom from paddington I think who plays as Willys mom

Man, these Willy Wonka movies sure does make me want to have chocolate.
Same
The end makes me cry 😢. I like this movie.
Now its time for Paddington
Timothee didn't quite channel Gene Wilder; but then, who could? But he did a great job of playing a less cynical Wonka.
That's a good thing. He needs to put his own fingerprints on the character as an actor, not be a copycat. He can borrow tropes, sure, and he has because he was clearly asked to (not that I'm complaining, as Gene's is the definitive Wonka), but he holds his own.

Can you guys react to Promising Young Woman

This is so sweet (like CHOCOLATE) and I AGREE
Thanks to Hayley and Stella! 🍫🍭🍬 I *love* this one. All hail director Paul King.
Why can wonka be a part of the same universe as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory people can change

Pretty enjoyable movie tbh, although I do still think the original movie with gene wilder is and will always be the best one in my opinion.
there was no issue in the original in how the factory was made. stop with the over correctness and the PC garbage
