My first try at a thread here. Let's see how I do.
No fancy links .. not sure how to here.
Just my own review. Some spoilers but I tried to keep it mostly generic ...
We don't go to the movies often. It's too expensive and honestly there aren't many good movies. But we decided the Wonka movie looked cute so we went.
We thought it was pretty good. Definitely a family movie. No body count. No real violence. No sex.
The story tells of Willie Wonka before he started the magical factory. He was into magic and chocolate and imagination. It tells of his struggle to get his chocolate factory going and how he had to work through the machinations of bad guys like Slugworth to get his chocolate to the people.
The songs were catchy and the story was cute. And we find out why the ooompalooompas are part of Willie Wonka world.
The bad guys worked out of a Catholic Church, and the lair was under the church only accessible through the confessional and the priest in the confessional hitting a lever to get the bad guys down to the lair. There were bad guy chocoholic Catholic monks as well. Didn't appreciate any of that. But it wasn't too bad. Just a minor thing that I didn't like.
Overall ... it's a good lite weight movie for a rainy Sunday Afternoon.
