I went in because every single piece of marketing sucked and I wanted to laugh, but I was really impressed. Solid 9/10. The most consistently lacking part is the lead, everything that sucked in the trailers still sucks, but he runs the gambit from fantastic to terrible.
When I finally get bored enough to ask about the backstory of Chef Boyardee or Aunt Jemima, I'll consider seeing this film.
Chef Boyardee was a real guy tho
So was the Cream of Wheat Black person, and look what happened to him.
otis redding?
A real-life chef named Frank L. White who was buried in an unmarked grave for almost a hundred years. A historical researcher rallied to put a marker on his grave the same year they took him off the Cream of Wheat box. lol

/Cinemaphile/ in a nutshell
You know Willy Wonka's a children's book character right? The candy brand was made to cash in on the popularity of the original film adaptation
I was familiar with Wonka brand candy long before I ever saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I always thought the movie was a fictionalized biopic about the real Willy Wonka.
>I always thought the movie was a fictionalized biopic about the real Willy Wonka.
based moron
Chef Boyardee is a real person, he changed the spelling of his name from Boiardi to Boyardee on the packaging because they worried Americans wouldn't be able to pronounce it
Hector Boiardi was a great Italian American
gay
It was good and absolutely leagues ahead of Tim Burtons version in every way. Tom Holland is hilarious.
the lead is a disgustingly weird homosexual. the rest of the world outside of California dont like that.
too many coloreds won't watch
>every single piece of marketing sucked
Yeah. Every trailer, clip, promo, even poster was awful. I had to really dig around to find what I used for the OP. I had zero faith this was going to be a good movie/went to just laugh at another Hollyweird failure, but I loved it.
Whoever was responsible for marketing needs to be fired.
The joke is that it includes shitty threads like this.
KYS.
>I only go to watch to watch hollywood goyslop ironically
Seriously KYS yourself
The official posters were somehow objectively worse than the shit in the DALL-E threads.
And yet, it still flopped.
Too many Black folk.
Meanwhile in reality
Fake news. It bombed, you filthy sodomite.
That pic literally says it's a flop
It's a mid December release which means it's going to have legs all the way into February. It's going to be profitable
nice try, movies have to earn at least 10 times their budget opening weekend or they're a flop
It will have legs all through Christmas and into the New Year. Word of mouth is good. Many families will go. Humanity needs a heartwarming reminder to hold on to your dreams even through this nightmare shithole world that joe biden and the demonrats have created.
No one is going to fall for that "hey guys, it's secretly right wing" crap.
Reminder:
>$40 million domestic opening
that’s not very good
Yup smart people know this shit is doing terrible
Domestically yeah but international BO will save it
I just can't watch this homosexual attempt to act. He already ruined Dune.
Why does all this woke shit keep making hundreds of millions of dollars?
Incels only pirate movies
Why should studios pander to them?
Woke is popular.. Why do you think all the people moaning about this kind of thing are losers on obscure forums?
>Black woman-directed The Marvels opened $47M: flop
>White boy movie $39M: success
qwhite interesting framing
>And yet, it still flopped
mate, we're at that point when you say it's actually pro-family, pro-cop, pro-dad and what's woke about it? Actually it was anti-woke.
>pro-cop
How do you figure? The cop was a corrupt idiot who took chocolate bribes.
>Actually it was anti-woke
he never said woke, he said Black folk.
It's immediately a family cult classic
>family cult
???
Why are there a million black Black folk in this movie?
>Why does a film set in a city predominately centering around the poor feature minorities so prominently
You either are or aren't racist, you can't pull from one perspective to be angry at the other.
It's a prequel to a movie set in the mid-20th century Britain. Why would there be poor blacks in Britain? England didn't have more than 1% non-whites until the post-WW2 era.
>You either are or aren't racist, you can't pull from one perspective to be angry at the other.
>It's a prequel to a movie set in the mid-20th century Britain. Why would there be poor blacks in Britain? England didn't have more than 1% non-whites until the post-WW2 era.
you're talking to a literal moron bro. why even bother trying to explain the basic concept of continuity to such a moron.
It is never stated as being England you fricking lunatic
>It is never stated as being England you fricking lunatic
it doesnt have to be england. it can be any western city and the other poster's point would be true. during the 1930s those countries were all almost completely homogenous with only pockets of immigrant minority communities here and there. globalization did not really take off until after WWII and the rise of cheap commercial intercontinental travel offered by larger, faster more powerful boat engines and eventually airline travel.
even if we want to ignore reality and just claim Willy Wonka isnt set in our world at all but in a totally fictional city we then have to ignore how the city in the original film was infinitely less diverse and the newer film, which takes place "before" is more diverse.
so either we accept the real world explanation that race pandering mattered more than continuity to the production crew OR we can head canon that a ethnic genocide happened in the willy wanka universe between this prequel full of minorities, and the original film that takes place decades later, where we see almost no minorities.
any way you look at this its absurd.
>it doesn't have to be England
You're pulling 20th century population statistics out of your ass then turning around to claim it doesn't matter, you're a fricking joke
>You're pulling 20th century population statistics out of your ass
you can literally just go google the history of all the mass migrations in the world. its not speculative. they have data. you can look it up. no english city, no western city, had that many brown people at that point in history. its literally fact.
But it isn't England you fricking weirdo, it's a fictional city
Actual moronation and cope. You can have a fictional universe and it obviously be a shithole in wales.
>But it isn't England you fricking weirdo, it's a fictional city
in that case my other point applies and its still fricking dumb as frick:
>even if we want to ignore reality and just claim Willy Wonka isnt set in our world at all but in a totally fictional city we then have to ignore how the city in the original film was infinitely less diverse and the newer film, which takes place "before" is more diverse.

He won't reply because he's a brain dead sodomite and can't think of a way to refute this.
Yeah, a movie made in 1971 filmed in London is going to cast less minorities than a movie made in 2022 filmed in LA, get a fricking grip on reality
When it's a film inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it shouldn't.
(I mean, the 2022 film shouldn't be filled with nogs. I expressed that badly!)
Oh no, the fictional movie about flying chocolates and Oompa Loompas has too many people with high melatonin in it, you seriously need to get your life together if this is what you're having a hissy fit about
You're moronic.
Ah, sure - it's fictional, so no matter how jarring and inappropriate their presence is (and the setting of the book is an unnamed, obviously English town in the before-times, so it's immensely jarring and inappropriate), you'll justify nogs being shoved into it.
Which isn't to say you wouldn't devise some justification for nogs being shoved into something non-fictional too. Because it's obvious you would.
Black folk is anything is unpleasant, but in this context it's inaccurate, jarring and would take anyone watching out of the movie despite it being a fantasy.

That's literally the reason I won't see it. Get butthurt if you like but I'm not buying a ticket
Cool? It’s still making bank because the overwhelming majority of people really like it apparently
You didn't explain WHY the movie needs them
Don't you fricking CHUDS understand, even if the fictional setting is a European inspired place, BLACKS MUST ALWAYS BE PRESENT IN MASS NUMBERS?

It's a prequel. Sometime between Wonka and the original Willy Wonka movie, black people were exterminated from England.
The orange oompa loompas ran a genocidal campaign and this is the result.
The trailers look way too "whimsical". The original was fun because Wilder played the part a little dark and it had a slightly cynical edge to it that made it stand out from other kids movies.
noone gives a shit about your gayass show
How are the ihop purple pancakes?
This entire ad is an euphemism for wonka's 3 some with BBC. Asscheeks clapped so hard they turned purple.
Amazing honestly, I them yesterday with the dreamy plum infused lemonade. Sweet, as expected from a Wonka product, but not overwhelmingly so and with a deliciously bold blast of cream cheese flavor that provides a nice savory base. 10/10 will order again.
Wonka-licious
>only in theatres
so is it available at ihop or not?
>the burger with everything but the kitchen sink on it is the healthiest thing on the menu
Imagine ordering this as an adult. Please tell me you don’t do this.
The purple tastes like generic frosting. The burger is way better. It has hash browns on the burger.
did original have any black
Literally kys
not watching and go frick yourself shill if i want to see blacks all over the place i'll just go outside movies are supposed to be an escape
It's MOTY. Songs mog the original for sure.
Honestly I have to concede
I went assuming the film was gonna be terrible but it was actually pretty amazing
Roald Dahl even said this movie captured his vision perfectly compared to the 1971 version

A WORLD OF YOUR OWN
I really, really liked the character of Bleacher.
Guys help everyone is giving this a unique reply and it's making me worried that the film is actually kino even though I spent my entire day race-baiting in this thread, what do I do
If you can unironically expect anything from current year slop than you are the target audience the movie was made for. Go see it, clap and soi face so they can make more just like it.
I just came back from it, went to see it with my dad.
We loved it.
My dad tends to fall asleep during most movies unless they have heavy action and comedy (like the Rush Hour movies, he loves those) but he was awake for the whole thing and had nice things to say which rarely happens. It's a cute film.
>the dungaree seduction
>For a Moment
>Do You Have a Sweet Tooth?
Is it stuffed full of Black folk? If so I don't care to watch it.
There is nothing wrong with the Depp version, it's everything a Wonka movie should be. Except maybe for the American accents.
Wow gee thanks anon I was really surprised by your pleasant review of Wonka starring Timothee Chalamet. I cannot wait to go see it myself now and I’m sure others will enjoy it too! I will be sure to watch this legally in a theater and not download it through an illegal torrent site, and when I go I think I’ll buy the Wonka novelty hat popcorn bucket!
how many Black folk can fit into Timmy’s chocolate factory at once?
>10milly less opening weekend than Tim’s MJ Willy almost 20 goddamn years ago
Burtonchads literally cannot stop winning.
Why is Slugworth black? He was white in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
To be fair, that was an imposter
>villain gets a origin story movie with a single word title
Oh look, another WB Shill thread.
Willy Wonka just seems like boomer shit. Does anyone under 40 even care?
>Kids under 12 gave it 87% positive and a 70% definite recommend, but parents gave it five stars
>skewing female, at 54%
>An estimated 60% of the audience is between 18-34 and the largest demo is 18-24 at 33%, with 10% between 13 and 17
And as a bonus, you can tell which demographics is desperate to label Wonka as a flop
>Diversity demos are 46% Caucasian, 27% Latino and Hispanic, 10% Black and 11% Asian American
>slop eaters fed on a steady diet of slop since they day they were born having no knowledge of the time before smartphones enjoys slop made for their slop brains
wow color me surprised
A pity kids don't get to decide what we see at cinema
How many Pakistanis in it?
Aside from a jarring number of blacks, the movie isn’t bad at all. Bring your kids / wife / girlfriend, they’ll def enjoy. I liked some of the songs myself.
The moment I saw the Black folk in the trailer my interest died. Black person fatigue just hit me like a fricking truck for some reason.
>Bring your kids / wife / girlfriend to a movie with forced diversity
no
When you have a nice day you should stream it here
Haven’t had chocolate in 7 years due to severe acne. I want to have chocolate today after watching this. Can someone recommend me the best chocolate bar?
Freddo bars
What do they pay you to shill on Cinemaphile? Groceries are expensive and I need some extra cash.
The Depp version was better. The extended candy bar commercial version ruined Grandpa Joe's character and had a completely moronic subplot (Charlie broke the rules the same as the other kids but because he survived it was okay). Roald Dahl hated that version, so that's why when he died his descendants made sure the filmmakers made the movie in a way he would appreciate, which is why the Depp version ended up being superior.

Charlie broke the rules but because he was truly repentant about his mistake it was okay. The movie teaches that even the best among us can fall to temptation but the most important thing is humbling ourselves enough to admit to and learn from our mistakes so we can grow and improve. It's a powerful and universal message.
The original ending line is such shit too. Gene can’t even take the line seriously, his acting takes a dip in the last 10 seconds.
If it ain't Gene Wilder, it ain't me.
Good Lord, they're recycling the Grub Hub "I didn't think it would be good but I gave it a try and it turned out the be great" gayvertising spam. More evidence that Hollyisraelite is out of ideas.
i just cannot tolerate timothee's voice cadence in this film. He's a disingenuous actor and i refuse to enable him.
I saw it last night. There were two good moments in the entire movie.
>1. When the monks are chanting in that deep booming way, then they panic, but their screams are still deep and booming and together.
>2. When the main villain can't remember the name of the girl's mother, and says "You have to understand, she was VERY poor."
That was it.

Willy Wonka was never good
Wait is this officially a prequel to the 1970s version of the film? I thought it was its own thing since the films city seems entirely made up and fictional.
The Depp version is still the best version because they get Wonka correct. Wonka is supposed to be a sociopathic manchild. Not some lovable dweeb.
>Replace Oompa Loompas with real black people
kinda based
For a Moment for Best Original Song at the AA.
The renditions of Pure Imagination and Oompa Loompa are great too.
A World of Your Own is another standout
All the characters were heartwarming, funny, and I was emotionally invested in Wonka and Noodle's story.
I'm 100% straight and Timothée Chalamet is just nice to look at.
only A World of Your Own is longlisted

>black people
Thanks for this post, I will not be seeing the movie. OP should've mentioned this
It wasnt terrible. I really thought it would be worse than what it was.
Burton Version>Wonka>Gene Wilder Version.
Are we going to get a wonka cinematic universe? Will we get a sequel where Mike Teevee creates a rival company to take down Charlie's company?
As someone who works with kids I really appreciated the depiction of a cross generational friendship and feel like movies and TV doesn't really do it well ever. The immediate standout in my mind is Doc and Marty which still exists in Rick and Morty, is this even a thing anywhere else in live action?
So if this is a Gene Wilder prequel version, how come Slugworth is black when he is white in the Wilder version. Yes I know it was an imposter in the Wilder version but it still had to be a lookalike to make the pitch believable to the ticket holders.
Given the Oompa Loompa size difference, the completely different location of the factory, the personality shift for Wonka, the body shift for Wonka, I think it's fair to assume this is just a new interpretation altogether as opposed to a direct prequel. I think it was obviously marketed as such even if it wasn't written that way
>Yes I know it was an imposter in the Wilder version but it still had to be a lookalike to make the pitch believable to the ticket holders.
Not defending wokism, but why the frick would anyone know what Slugworth looked like? Shit Wonka was more famous and no one knew who he was by the time of the Chocolate Factory tour
I dont think it's a direct prequel to any of the versions. Seems to just be its own thing even though it takes from the 1970s oompa loompa designs.
Slugworth would NEVER be a Black person. And that's the end of it.
I always find funny that prequel films having tons of non-white people thrown in there, that means at some point on the story line, someone went full holocaust and make then out of existence the 99% of them, dunno if companies are aware of that when making this things
They don't care, they want to replace you and no one will stop them. You don't have the balls, I don't have the balls, no one has the balls. They know they can change history in front of our eyes and we will all cower in fear like good little goys and accept it.

Is there any fetish programming in this movie like the Tim Burton version or is it just a normal whimsical family flick
There's a scene where he milks a giraffe, do with the what you will my kinkster brother
Like anon said there's a pretty graphic scene of giraffe milking with an upclose shot of actual giraffe breasts, other than that, no. There's a hairgrowth scene shown off in a trailer, that's as good as it gets for the obscure fetish crowd
Although if you are into male weight gain this is your literal Christmas gift
>Although if you are into male weight gain this is your literal Christmas gift
Those scenes made me so mad when I skimmed through the movie. If that character was a woman a literal infinite amount of cum would shoot out of my dick. Just thinking about it now is enfuriating me.
I think the biggest tell is that I can't find anyone here talking about what happens in it.
No-one's complaining about X scene. No-one's posted a picture.
No-one's even bringing up the midget actor drama that was used to advertise it originally.
Where do you think you are? Get lost on your way to reddit? This is the only place on the internet where people haven't completely lost the ability to freely think and speak their minds. Of course the posters here haven't seen the movie. We're smart enough to not waste our time with current year slop.
>Where do you think you are?
A Mexican salt licker's waiting room.
One where most threads are about either moronicly complaining X happened, or moronicly posting barely attractive actresses, the right opinion isn't in any thread, let alone wins arguments, someone is still mentioning Trump, someone else is still posting Rockthrow, and someone someone else is still seething over that one McDonalds-burger-eating-documentary with the fat guy.
> Never having touched a female and posting on a minor online forum all day gives me the ability to speak truth to power. Good day to you, Sir!
Yes that is true I have a trained mind that is able to distinguish mental programming.
I'll rent it when it comes out on streaming, the reviewers I like thought it was worth a watch but overlong. Overlong means my ass stays on my couch.
>I think the biggest tell is that I can't find anyone here talking about what happens in it.
Hot take, no one is b***hing about the story because it was actually well done, and the movie in general is pretty good with minimal flaws
>see movie thinking it'd be shit

>almost 200+ replies of racebait and Timothee lust
Sorry bud most of us ain't paying for Black propaganda, wait til the torrent comes out and then you can discuss it here.
That's nice but I'm still not watching it.
Did you guys like Timmy’s version of Pure Imagination?
I like that they set it up earlier in the movie that Noodle has her perfect mother fantasy in her imagination and it's played out in the visuals of the Pure Imagination song, I think that's what elevates it over the original. The movie actually made me give a frick about their relationship.
I agree. First time I saw that little nigress, I was disgusted. But the actress wasn’t that bad, she didn’t talk or behave like a hoodrat, so I was able to look past it.
>immediately disavows the Depp remake
I'm curious, how?
New backstory/new motivation for Wonka, introduced early and revisited constantly.
OP is exaggerating. There’s no “disavowing”, but it’s very clear Timmy’s version isn’t the same as Depp. Timmy remembers his mom, there’s no mention of some gayot ass dentist dad.
I'd say it goes out if it's way to distance itself from it immediately.
Did people really not like the Depp version? I thought it was a lot better than the Wilder version.
You're fricking insane
How?
In the Wilder version, he's way too much of a father figure character to Charlie and isnt really wacky like he should be. Also the other kids in the Wilder version arent really the evil characters they should be like they were in the books.
The book isn't always the best version of a story. Jurassic park the book sucked ass and Spielberg elevated it making the movie the definitive version of the story.
It's actually funny thinking back in the Wilder version that none of the kids are that bad at all. The worst was Veruca sure but even then it was normal spoiled kid shit. Mike Teevee and Augustus were literally just
>energetic kid who likes his shows
>kid who seems normal but likes a meal
I'm glad the Depp version made them bigger homosexuals so you dont feel for them as much.
That was normal to you? What kind of kids did you grow up around?
Generally speaking it gets mixed to negative reviews. People overall don’t really look back on it fondly, unlike the original which is still considered a classic
Only because of fricking boomers with their nostalgia goggles.
>flops on release
>play it on tv for years
>becomes a classic
And yes, it's a wonderful life did this track too and that movie sucks.
It’s not a trick if people just genuinely really like it. People aren’t lying or pretending when they say they like it. The original has just proven to be objectively more popular over time than the Tim Burton reboot
My impression is non Americans and non Bongs prefer Depp. They just don't mention it on Twitter because they will be cancelled
I consider 2005 a decent movie in its own right, but it doesn't live up to 1971 by any stretch of the imagination.
>casting is spot on barring one or two exceptions
>technically solid, it makes a good use of both practical and cgi effects
>way closer of an adaptation than the original film
>Deep-Roy is kino
>backstory is lame but worth it solely for Christopher Lee
I don't even mind Depp-Wonka that much, he's no Gene Wilder, but he's not horrible either.
The biggest flaw is that it's a Tim Burton movie post TNBC, so it's slathered in his style of weirdness that's fun for a minute and then becomes too annoying and silly for the rest of its runtime. You know the tropes; high pitched choir singing, Danny Elfman soundtrack, SPOOKY-HAPPY LA LA LA, the whole nine yards.

Can we get a Cobra Kai style series revolving around Mike Teevee? It could work.
It's a musical, no fricking thank you.
>immediately disavows the Depp remake
thanks for letting me not to see this drivel

OP is an actual homosexual. Ignore this gay thread.
The song is really cute but the actual scene itself is worth seeing on a big screen
I mean you're gay for watching musicals, promoting musicals, and writing in the style of wikipedia musical synopses.
I can't really argue on any of those points. Before we part ways and I never think of this thread again, can you recommend me a movie? I'll pop it onto my backlog list.
Problem Child 2
not that anon, but fido. 1950's post-zombie apocalypse movie where they figured out how to turn them into slave labor comfy kino. starring the man who sued god billy connoly, and trinity from the matrix. if you ever wanted to see trinity almost cuck her husband with a filthy, disgusting zombie, and the nerdy 1950s neighbor blatently keeping his own slave zombie as a sex slave wearing a mini skirt and pom poms, this is your jam.

Gum?
Just got back.
I completely agree with OP. When the main character is bad, he's horrible. However the surrounding cast+script HARD carries. It helps that the songs actually work.
He has the physicality down for the scenes that call for it, something many actors lack. But I agree he is otherwise miscast. The only reason he 'works' is because he is cute, his looks help him a lot. He does come across as charming but there's something about the performance that doesn't quite click. He does however, have good screen chemistry with Noodle.
U.k. 50m+?
Tired of seeing le meme man
The Tim Burton remake wasn’t really good to begin with anyway.
not going to watch you shilling gay
