If it was a mockumentary satire with humor in the same vein as the Gene Wilder one, sure.
But it looks like it's trying to be some musical drama and I'm not into that.
Cruella grossed $230M vs 100-200M budget. It did not break even.
Wonka will gross $120M vs $125M by next Monday, and that's before the december legs kick in
Hope it does well because there's been too many bombs this year and I don't want all the movie theaters to go under. Imagine a future where every movie is some Netflix direct to streaming shit because there's no theaters.
> Imagine a future where every movie is some Netflix direct to streaming shit because there's no theaters.
It doesn't matter if theaters exist or not when movies are just shit in general, like this one no doubt is
Good, let it get worse, at this point it doesn't matter. There is more than a century of great films to enjoy, you can spend your life watching the classics and still never get to them all. Reject Modernity, Embrace Antiquity
As gay and zoomer as this sounds, I just wish there were streams full of people I could watch old shit with. I'd love a populated chat with Jason & the Argonauts or something playing.
Anon. This future sounds glorious. I have watched movies all my life. For the last 10 years i have a cinema pass that allows me to watch any film free, yet I only go 3 times a year to watch anything decent. What i do know is there is plenty of tv and series in the past i havent watched. Once I finish those then all I'll do is rewatch the best movies and shows. Literally 90% of the film and tv is shit or mediocre. waster too much of my life watching shit
// off to the movies this fri to see godzila minus one and synders rebel moon
>the book says he had no issues and just stole the oompa loompas from their land after he fired his normal workers >the movie says he always had a oompla loompa and it was a ok
frick
I hope it's a good film. Hell, I hope every film is a good film. Why would I actively wish that I had less decent entertainment?
But the fact is that there are an infinite number of ways to may a poor film and just a very few ways to make a good ones. It's amazing we ever get anything that's watchable.
I'm not hopeful about this one, but I want to be pleasantly surprised.
>Are you guys excited?
I'm more excited reading the box office tracking nerds debating back and forth in their forum on how much multiplier that Wonka will get
Why does Hollywood just recycle the same actors for fricking everything now even if they don't fit the part? This dude gets cast in DUNC and now he's in everything, that ayy lmao b***h with the snail eyes is in like 9 films at once, why do they keep doing this?

Saw it with the wife. It's boring as shit. Remember that bit at the end of the original movie, where Charlie gives Wonka back the gobstopper? They redo that specific close up shot of the sweet no less than three times.
In fact, if you were to take a shot everytime the film does a "call back" to the orignal you wouldn't make it to the end of the film.
The new characters suck, there's nothing about Wonka learning abouyt being a chocolate maker, nothing about him gaining the oompa loompas as a whole, just a single one.
The best songs are again, just the reused originals. New ones are garbage.
Wonka himself is INSUFFERABLELY positive. Black sidekick is just boring and doesnt really do anything worthwhile.
The villains were fine, I guess. They got a chuckle out of me with the "poors" gag.
3/10 least the Oompa Loompanwas funny, but that's only because it was Hugh Grant.
Don't waste ya time anons. It's not so bad its funny. It's just boring.
The only things I know about the movie are that there's a Chocolate Cartel, London hates him, the technology is somehow more advance than both of the other movies meant to be set in the present day rather than the past, and the guy who plays Wonka was at the Video Game Awards. Should I consider watching it Cinemaphile?
Oh so AI posters are confirmed an actual thing now because holy hell look at that. Promo art is one thing but imagine if this took off and the dumb zoomer fricktard hanging this abomination on their wall
So what's the justification behind him owning the factory?
The original Wonka had years of experience and hard work, what does this guy have? His parents' money?
The original wonka enslaved the oompa loompas and had them build everything while he came up with ideas for candy.
Also both the oompa loompas and Mike Teevee were black in the original story. But from the looks of this they want to combine the Gene Hackman Oompa Loompas with the Johnny Depp Wonka. Gotta play on both nostalgias while fricking up the original source. Rold Dahl is turning in his coffin
>The original wonka enslaved the oompa loompas and had them build everything while he came up with ideas for candy.
Yeah, that's what I said. Years of experience and hard work.
Poor Wonka hardly had a day of rest!
why that homosexual kid is getting so much roles?
he fricking sucks, goddamn it, they should had cast the kid from Umbrella academy as Paul Atreides on DUNC.

>musical drama
yuck, really? hard pass
israelite
This is on the same level as the 101 Dalmatians prequel movie about the tragic life story of the antagonist. Fricking why?
muny
Cruella barely broke even. I doubt this one's gonna do much better.
it's easier to use a preexisting IP to make a movie that bombs than it is to come up with something new that bombs
it's easier to make a profit on lower budget, quality productions, than it is to break even churning out $200,000,000+ CG "enhanced" slop.
Cruella grossed $230M vs 100-200M budget. It did not break even.
Wonka will gross $120M vs $125M by next Monday, and that's before the december legs kick in
>scratch that, 69 it.
Yes I’m totally excited for my tri-yearly Willy wonka remake.
they should've 86'd it
I hope this bombs horribly so I don't have to see this uncharismatic twink in movies anymore
this, israelitefro McTwelveYearOld needs to frick right off
It looks even worse than Oz the Great and Powerful, and that was a massive turd
People are upset that it has fat jokes
>Are you guys excited?
My dick is.
You're a sick man
This is why we need butlerian jihad
I'd kwisatz his haderach any day if you know what I mean
Why do they keep putting this queer little fruitcake looking frick in movies? Jfc man.
twinks are in, manly men are out
Calling it now, movie ends with his black girl magic partner telling him he should hold a golden ticket contest to give back to the community.
the whole synopsis is on Wikipedia
the golden ticket is from his dead mother, but the black girl does teach Wonka how to read LMAO
>but the black girl does teach Wonka how to read LMAO
why the frick would Willy Wonka be illiterate
She was the main villain's (a millionaire chocolate producer) niece and the true heir of the family's fortune
can't believe this is bumping Godzilla out of imax

If you think this is as bad as it's gonna get then you're very naive.

In another world where we weren't anons, I would do that with you. Then I would make love to you.

REMEMBER THE USS LIBERTY
It must be really bad if no one cares enough to leak anything about it by the day before it opens.
No blueberry, no watch
I would like to poop in a popcorn vessel
>Are you guys excited?

Im not watching anything with this astroturfed talentless israelite
Popped and hyped to get Wonkafied!
That's just wasteful
Has our guy lost it?
Trying to recapture the magic never works.
Wtf needs at least 90 seconds more butter
<opening scene>
Wonka comes out raping
>Wonka comes out raping
"Go Wonka! Go Wonka -- GO!"
Why is every single promotion for this movie full of black kids? Did they misunderstand what a Chocolate Factory is?
"W to ONK to the A -- WONKA!"
kek did they really go on tour to Africa or India or something
>tour Africa?
An after-school program in New York City. So -- yes. Yes they did.
Why does Hollywood just recycle the same actors for fricking everything now even if they don't fit the part? This dude gets cast in DUNC and now he's in everything, that ayy lmao b***h with the snail eyes is in like 9 films at once, why do they keep doing this?

so is he openly gay yet?
>Willy Wanker
His sexuality was never in question
Timo is dating Kylie Jenner. So totally no homo.
I would have unironically considered it if they had brought back Wonka Bars
The Wonka chocolate brand right is being sold to Ferrero. So WB can only sell Timmy.
Ferrero needs to get their shit together then
Timmy is selling Paul King's colorful family movie. The eye-popping set design is the attraction.
Saw it with the wife. It's boring as shit. Remember that bit at the end of the original movie, where Charlie gives Wonka back the gobstopper? They redo that specific close up shot of the sweet no less than three times.

You'll stop being lonely one day bro
Neil Hannon tried to be the new Noel Coward for decades, but he just crams a lot of words into songs without a fraction of the wit.
The only things I know about the movie are that there's a Chocolate Cartel, London hates him, the technology is somehow more advance than both of the other movies meant to be set in the present day rather than the past, and the guy who plays Wonka was at the Video Game Awards. Should I consider watching it Cinemaphile?
It's set in 1920ish London. It's pretty vague though, cuz its magical made up London
I already saw it. The art direction, sets, costume design are all pretty good but the story is dogshit and cringe.
muad'dib's factory
> Are you guys excited?
No.
"What's in the box?!"
Dayum -- nice kicks Wonka!
Why is the sole already dirty?
hipsters have been slumming it for decades now. it's uncool (unless you're black) to be seen in shiny new things
>no ticket
go kick rocks with em
ywnbaw
>Brown
I thought purple was the color associated with Wonka. What, do people think he makes chocolate?
They have more than one style promoting the movie. The Oompas would be okay with real green laces.
Oh so AI posters are confirmed an actual thing now because holy hell look at that. Promo art is one thing but imagine if this took off and the dumb zoomer fricktard hanging this abomination on their wall
It’s a prequel. I’ll pass.
