Like a lot of people, I didn't think we needed a continuation of Willy Wonka. Nothing can beat the original film, after all. But I decided to still give this one a chance.
In case you didn't know, this is a prequel- not a remake. And I didn't know I wanted a Willy wonka prequel until now. It's a surprisingly fun series of events, with a good balance between references to the original and originality. It's humorous yet also deep and heartwarming. And, the songs aren't bad.
If you liked cruella, you might like this one. Although it's a much more whimsical prequel. It could've been fun if it was a bit darker, since the OG Willy wonka is kinda strange, but I liked this more lightbearted take as well.
