Directed by Paul King ("Paddington Bear") and starring "Sweet Tea" Timothée Chalamet, the prequel film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (Wonka) ** word-of-mouth ban lifted! At present, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 79%, with 58 reviews, 46 fresh and 12 rotten. The overall score of metacritic** is 67, 18 excellent, 7 good and 2 poor.
Among them, "The Guardian" and "Daily Telegraph" gave full marks, believing that "Wonka" is better than "Happy Candy House" in 1971 and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in 2005, and director Paul King's technique is still excellent! The well-known ** "Variety" said that the quality of this film is passable, but it will not be intoxicating, so it only gave 70 points.
Most ** still think that the film is decent, and the visual stacking is dizzying. And there is also a ** claim that Paul King's advantages and talent were wasted by this film.
Written by Paul King and his longtime partner Simon Fanaby (Paddington Bear 2), the film will focus on the adventures of young Willy Wonka (played by Sweet Tea) in the world's most famous chocolate factory. Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Coleman, Jim Carter, Ricky Fulcher, Cogan-Michael Kay, Tom Davis, Hugh Grant and others also starred.
Wonka will be released in Chinese mainland on December 8, and in North America on December 15. In addition, the film has held its Chinese mainland premiere on December 3, and pre-sales are currently open. I hope to have a good box office result after release!
