"You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!"- the og fans of the original
You forget Gene Wilder’s Wonka has been a recluse for years, hiding in his locked down factory keeping a close guard on his secrets/recipes from his rivals (Slugworth, Fickelgruber, Prodnose) that have tried to steal it from him. It isn’t for nothing that the "edge" which we think about when we hear the name Willy Wonka doesn’t manifest itself until his later years (Chalamet’s Wonka is 19 while Wilder’s is 45) This movie literally sees him just fresh off the boat, poor and trying to make a name for himself, trying to introduce his chocolate to the world. At the end of the 1970s movie Wonka shows that same optimism/innocence that he had when he was younger, it’s when Charlie passes the "greedy test" and proves that there IS in fact good, honest people left in the world that he can pass his factory on to, it ties into his younger, optimistic self before he got driven mad by isolation in the factory
I would’ve loved the twist where Wonka’s chocolate was secretly made out of children’s tears or little children. I know, it’s dark but you can’t lie to me and tell me that wouldn’t be at least interesting 😂
John Oliver had a great segment on his show about chocolate and how it's made, Those cocoa beans sit in a pit in the ground, covered in banana leaves while they ferment. And the fresh beans look gross, like bug larva.🤢 But it was very informative about how the poor cocoa farmers can't even afford a kit kat bar.
Nicks expression in giving the face you have when youre about to kill the Young Jocs dance, "Its going down" lol Thats how we looked when we about to eat the dance moves lol
I watch the BBC original Ghost and had no idea Simon Farnaby was I writer for that show or Wonka. If they made this film into a series (mini series) it would have been great to build up to the villainous Wonka we know.
The third Willy wonka movie and we still don’t learn how the chocolate is magically smh. I would’ve been over it if I opened my moms chocolate and that’s what it said 😭
Great review guys. I actually really enjoyed the movie and loved seeing the fresh-faced inventor who would eventually become a bitter old recluse. This definitely seems like it was the first part to a more tragic middle and the original film is the 3rd, so to say. This definitely lays the groundwork with all of the "greedy wins over the needy" talk - especially since Wonka will eventually become distrustful of humanity and turn his factory into a fortress of solitude for years. I think that an "Empire Strikes Back" of sorts could really be the dark piece needed to fill the gaps and really show off the darkness of Wonka's mind.
You make a good point about why was the magic not used more effectively. And why did he set up shop at that particular location? I think the answer may lay in the idea that his magic works best where it is needed the most.
Glad you didn't like it either. I thought this film was so boring. Too much laundromat and not enough fantasy factory, etc. People are happy to fly into the air, without knowing how they will get safely back down, but riot and burn his shop down when their hair turns colors????
The movie gave "musical‐to-movie" vibes but not with too much singing, but enjoyable enough. Let go of all previous storylines. *the little travel factory was adorable..like throwback childhood cute
@@heavenly5523Fr! When they love a film it gets me even more excited to see it. But I can't deny I love it even more when they hate a film (especially Nick) and just start trashing it the whole time.
Hey wait wait…let me get my google ready before Nick throws out the BIG Boy words. LMAO. Guys thanks for reviewing this…I think that I’m understanding why Hollywood is constantly remaking movies OVER & OVER & OVER, so we as older people from the 40’s-80’s can not only aggravated, but the youngins can be even more confused as to what we were watching then LMAO. They clearly tried it when they casted Timothee Chalamet…he’s young and relevant now…so I guess kids would better understand and recognize him more than if someone much older were to replay this role.🤷🏾♂ THANKS for reviewing yet another box office bomb in order for us to save our money and spend it elsewhere. ❤❤
The Johnny Depp one is the son of a dentist. Never saw the Gene Wilder one…does it have a family background? I am not about these prequels. See Iron Claw.
Final thought why should it cost $125M to make a movie about a guy who wants to make chocolate? Hollywood budgets are so bloated ... Godzilla Minus One cost less than $15M!!
The set pieces, costume designs, music and special effects were amazing. I watched a documentary showing they actually created the whole city to look something like Europe. It's not CGI. I'm surprised the budget was only$125m.
“I think it’s CaCa.” 😒 I nearly choked on my coffee! 🤣 Sorry you guys had to experience such a movie but y’all are Awesome and I Love your reviews and livestreams. ❤❤
Imagine myself, watching this in an incredulous state for an introductory feature! Seems like, unlike going in to watch a Horror franchise, and being "puzzled"may be a good thing...Both of you had it nailed in your 'fill in the blanks' quips - your comments made sense!
Love u guy’s channel. It’s always my first stop after watching any film. I didn’t interpret the end scene as Willy literally building his factory with magic. I thought it was just a creative visual way to show us that he eventually realized his dream of building the factory. We can assume he prob hired people to actually build it. Just my thought. Also I think slugworth probably didn’t care if their dead rotting bodies contaminated the chocolate. He was so vile that he would have sold that chocolate anyway.
Yeahhh it sounds like Wonka’s backstory should have been waaayyy more fleshed out. I still have no clue how he became who he is or not really “dumb dog who can do really neat tricks” 😂
@Fish Jelly Film Reviews Nick I LOVE when you are truly "amused" and cackle. It brings me such joy!! Idk if I now WANT too see it more from this POV and just laugh the whole time. 😊
Why do people say Wonka was bad but Barbie movie was amazing? Barbie is a movie about absolutely nothing, Wonka has a great story line and is great. Then again I’m just an average movie enjoyer not a critic
Maybe wonka s chocolate was better cuz it was more pure cacao beans, however that makes a chocolate more bitter, so I think Keegan MIchael Key actually wouldnt prefer purer chocolate over regular milk chocolate. I know cuz people keep giving me their bitter organic chocolate to eat cuz its "healthy" or whatever
Loved the movie! For me it was a refreshing twist after a strange Johnny Depp adaption. Great original soundtrack. My kids loved it-perhaps that was more of the target audience on this anyways.
Really on the fence with this one after seeing the trailer, so I didn't bother waiting before watching this video. Told a friend I would go if he wants to see it, but I wouldn't be surprised if FJ's take on it turns out to be at least as entertaining as the movie.
Some people are tired of the dark quirky Wonka we already have that everywhere we go. Some may want a whole joyful movie. I loved this version of Wonka
Haven't seen the movie yet but I imagine it takes a while for him to turn to the Wonka we're familiar with. Some people aren't evil from birth to adult. Also I'm seeing a lot of comments lamenting that they don't show how he got the magic to make the chocolate but would you like to see that? Like a whimsical movie length version of a food network show? 😆
When you hear Nick saying "I think it's caca" you know this is gonna be good 😂😂 Wow I'm surprised you gave a score of 2 to this film, Nick, I was impatiently waiting for the "One..." in the dullest possible voice 🤣
I find this movie much more entertaining than I expected. I rewatched Tim Burton’s remake yesterday. I like Paul King’s take more. This one is more like a fun and touching musical for families and children. The visual is also very cool. Timothee can sing. And the Pure Imagination song is a nice surprise to me as the 2005 remake did not have it.
I know this is a prequel and probably have good actors but Ive never been so bored with Hollywood, infinite rebooting machine. It was absolutely unnecessary and unrequested, there's so many good novels that have never been adapted yet they produce this movie that already have 2 excellent iterations.
I think this is just a property where the first one nailed it, Gene Wilder was just too good and iconic to ever beat and the whole charm of the original was that it was a little scary and a lot weird where part of the fun of the movie was how bonkers the factory was. If you are going to do a prequel, one would think the thing they would explain is the how and why of how the factory was so weird and what about Wonka made that happen. But it looks like they also just decided to skip past that part. I still think this will do well with kids though who will not care about any of those things.
I like Timothee and he is a good actor but (from what I've seen in previews) I don't think he is the right fit for Wonka. Love or hate his performance at least Depp made Wonka HIS verison. To me, Timothee is just trying to repeat Gene's character beat for beat and that's just not him. But when I see the film I'll know for sure - I like Hugh Grant so he is worth it for me! Edit: Wouldn't it be fitting if Wonka's father was a magician who taught him magic, and his mother taught him to cook/make chocolate. Then, Wonka learned to combine both his parents lessons into his own magical sweets.
The whole thing feels flat. The jokes don't land like they should and the dialogue feels twee and forced at times. Visually it looked good but it's a massive disappointment after the brilliant Paddington. I wasn't expecting it to be great but it's not even decent.
I'm with Nick all the way! I saw this film and didn't like it. I'm a big '71 Wonka fan and this film was glossy garbage. Nothing made sense, the songs were bad, and Chalamet was a weak Wonka. We deserved a better prequel than this.
I love yall 💙 yall literally sound like me and my bestfriend judging everything 😂 and she’s a lesbian gay people giving critique is always so much more saucy 😂 ive never watched the original Willy wonka but the Johnny depp remake idk how yall can think was terrible Johnny killed it but just like the generation before me i think my generation would find this Willy wonka stupid and my kids would probably think its great. Its funny how for every movie ive grown up to watching makes me feel dead inside when i see the remakes for the new generation
Timothy is giving young Johnny Depp. Jeremy Allen White is giving young Gene Wilder. I'm not a hater but I would rather see Timothy doing movies like Call Me By Your Name with armie hammer.
😮 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was my absolute favourite book as a child. The Gene Wilder movie is simply a classic, albeit Dahl didn’t like it. But I’ve never once considered Wonka to be a villain. That’s very strange to me. Perhaps the issue is, as with the Burton movie, attempting to humanise such a fantastic character is doomed to failure. It’s like trying to explain a joke, it kills it. The original story itself is a morality tale of horrible people getting their comeuppance. Wonka certainly doesn’t hate children; that’s just…not true. He’s amoral certainly, if looked at that way. But I don’t think he’s the sort of character who can be psychoanalysed by any realistic standards as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. He’s a Trickster figure, mercurial and anarchic. Possibly an anti-hero. But definitely not a villain.

Hey just wanted to say I love you guys, I have been dealing with alot and I love watching your reviews and just escaping into movies
❤️
This picture of Timothee with the crazy eyes is cracking me up.
😂😂😂
I love when y’all tear into movies. They’re my favorite reviews
"So the major theme about this film is the inability to get out of debt."
Ah, so it's a movie that 99% of the population can identify with. 😀
Looks like a really great way to stop thinking about your money problems 🙃
You forget Gene Wilder’s Wonka has been a recluse for years, hiding in his locked down factory keeping a close guard on his secrets/recipes from his rivals (Slugworth, Fickelgruber, Prodnose) that have tried to steal it from him. It isn’t for nothing that the "edge" which we think about when we hear the name Willy Wonka doesn’t manifest itself until his later years (Chalamet’s Wonka is 19 while Wilder’s is 45) This movie literally sees him just fresh off the boat, poor and trying to make a name for himself, trying to introduce his chocolate to the world. At the end of the 1970s movie Wonka shows that same optimism/innocence that he had when he was younger, it’s when Charlie passes the "greedy test" and proves that there IS in fact good, honest people left in the world that he can pass his factory on to, it ties into his younger, optimistic self before he got driven mad by isolation in the factory

Great points
Your faces already tell me everything I need to know. 😂
I would’ve loved the twist where Wonka’s chocolate was secretly made out of children’s tears or little children. I know, it’s dark but you can’t lie to me and tell me that wouldn’t be at least interesting 😂
Or poop from some weird animal 😂
You need to be in prison for thinking that way. You are psychotic
You should definitely see Snowpiercer
Watch Soylent Green
You guys should do EVERY blu ray or streaming commentary for every movie...id be in for that. Great review!
I was thinking there should be two more movies. One should explain how he makes the factory. The next movie should have the golden ticket.
John Oliver had a great segment on his show about chocolate and how it's made, Those cocoa beans sit in a pit in the ground, covered in banana leaves while they ferment. And the fresh beans look gross, like bug larva.🤢 But it was very informative about how the poor cocoa farmers can't even afford a kit kat bar.
funny how this movie is so convoluted that it takes 20 minutes to explain, but the original story can be summarized in a few sentences
Nicks expression in giving the face you have when youre about to kill the Young Jocs dance, "Its going down" lol
Thats how we looked when we about to eat the dance moves lol
I watch the BBC original Ghost and had no idea Simon Farnaby was I writer for that show or Wonka.
If they made this film into a series (mini series) it would have been great to build up to the villainous Wonka we know.
“Now wait a damn minute” 😭😂🤣😭😂🤣😂
You sound like Mama from Mama Family lol.
Uh oh, Nick’s face says it all….
I do like the Paddington movies a lot, so I am curious how that vibe will translate to Wonka.
Same love the Paddington films
I zoned out. I don’t know if I care about this convoluted plot. But, I love ya’ll for watching it for me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!
"he creates magical things and it's never explained how..."
"BUT CAN'T READ..."

Timothée's agent was bragging that he hasn't had to audition for a role in seven years. Auditions serve a purpose though...
This review cracked me up. Y’all are hilarious 😂😂😂
You make a good point about why was the magic not used more effectively. And why did he set up shop at that particular location? I think the answer may lay in the idea that his magic works best where it is needed the most.
They (as in Hollywood) need to just leave this one alone. After Gene Wilder, there is no other who can pull off this character.
Agree.
I love the way you two perfectly balance each other out personality wise. It’s the best dynamic and I always love hearing your opinions ❤️
Glad you didn't like it either. I thought this film was so boring. Too much laundromat and not enough fantasy factory, etc. People are happy to fly into the air, without knowing how they will get safely back down, but riot and burn his shop down when their hair turns colors????

With all that is going on, it sounds like the movie should have been 4 hours long. I bet it felt like it.
Joseph has beautiful hands.
It's magic! We just need to believe. 😊
Yeahhh it sounds like Wonka’s backstory should have been waaayyy more fleshed out. I still have no clue how he became who he is or not really

Timothee is not quirky enough to.play this role
Some people are tired of the dark quirky Wonka we already have that everywhere we go. Some may want a whole joyful movie. I loved this version of Wonka
Also: don't feed chocolate to your cats or dogs! I hope the sphynx scene you mentioned isn't gonna give some clueless people stupid ideas... 😰
It can hurt them badly. Although i am afraid of dogs major..
I knew Nick was going to give it a 2 🤣🤣🤣
From Crazy Eyes, to Cocoa, to CaCa … sounds like an absolute prize! LOL 😊
I love love love your reviews gentlemen. I’m on the same page with you two on Wonky.
Haven't seen the movie yet but I imagine it takes a while for him to turn to the Wonka we're familiar with. Some people aren't evil from birth to adult. Also I'm seeing a lot of comments lamenting that they don't show how he got the magic to make the chocolate but would you like to see that? Like a whimsical movie length version of a food network show? 😆
Yeah I don't really get that critique. The point of magic is that it's not logical you just have to buy into the idea of candy making you fly.
Affable dum dum! Love it!!! 😂😂😂 and this movie looks like it’s going to be a hit.
Maybe he will get darker in the sequel…
Sounds like Wankah is still bananas crazy in this one.
creates magical things but can't read 😂
When you hear Nick saying "I think it's caca" you know this is gonna be good 😂😂
Wow I'm surprised you gave a score of 2 to this film, Nick, I was impatiently waiting for the "One..." in the dullest possible voice 🤣
Luv ya guys ❤️ The movie sounds meh, but I do wanna get that chocolate colored Wonka hat popcorn bowl from AMC theaters
That "all done?" at the end was pure GOLD😂😂😂😅😂😅

I agree
Yup, it was a very entertaining and charming movie.
I enjoyed it, though I went in with no expectations.
Wow its amazing listening to you guys try to make sense of this insane plot
I’m so glad it wasn’t just me. Timothee’s performance gave “if an AI was programmed to be Willy Wonka” just so forced and yet robotic.
Joseph, you should trademark AFFABLE DUMM-DUMM😀
This is gonna be a big money maker
Top grossing movie over the weekend
How could you be so mean Timmy!!!

"Caca." Hehe
haven't heard that word in a while...

I had no desire to watch this film. NOW - I really don't want to watch it! lol - too much!! Thank you so much for this review :)
DAMN Nick. U ain’t like Paddington either? Let my man Tim live. LOL Also, Wonka didn’t hate all kids he hated bad/spoiled kids.🤦🏾♂️😆
I like Timothee and he is a good actor but (from what I've seen in previews) I don't think he is the right fit for Wonka. Love or hate his performance at least Depp made Wonka HIS verison.

I love timothy in the wonka movie but would love if his father was a magician
I'm such a pushover, if anyone tap dances in a movie at *all* I give it top marks.
Incredible movie. I got emotional a few times and not just because of the sad scenes
Same. The last scene with Noodle nearly floored me😥😥
That dilapidated got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do not like Timotee Chalet so that doesn’t help he just can’t act 😅
The whole thing feels flat. The jokes don't land like they should and the dialogue feels twee and forced at times. Visually it looked good but it's a massive disappointment after the brilliant Paddington. I wasn't expecting it to be great but it's not even decent.
Great video! :)
I'm with Nick all the way! I saw this film and didn't like it. I'm a big '71 Wonka fan and this film was glossy garbage. Nothing made sense, the songs were bad, and Chalamet was a weak Wonka. We deserved a better prequel than this.

Can y’all review the new Japanese movie “MONSTER?” 😊
I guess that Chalamet's version should be called Wanka. Please. Laugh.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was my absolute favourite book as a child. The Gene Wilder movie is simply a classic, albeit Dahl didn’t like it.
But I’ve never once considered Wonka to be a villain.
That’s very strange to me.
Perhaps the issue is, as with the Burton movie, attempting to humanise such a fantastic character is doomed to failure. It’s like trying to explain a joke, it kills it.
The original story itself is a morality tale of horrible people getting their comeuppance.
Wonka certainly doesn’t hate children; that’s just…not true.
He’s amoral certainly, if looked at that way. But I don’t think he’s the sort of character who can be psychoanalysed by any realistic standards as ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
He’s a Trickster figure, mercurial and anarchic.
Possibly an anti-hero.
But definitely not a villain.
This is funny. People said they cried after seeing this. Idk.
You guys are awesome! Love your balanced and honest take on movies. Keep it up!!
