Five positives and one big negative


Just watched the film. I felt like it had five highly positive things going for it:

- It's imaginative
- It features outstanding production design
- It has fun characters and performances
- There are some enjoyable song-and-dance numbers
- It has heart

But I also had one thing against it:

- The plot is thin and dull

And that negative is close to a deathblow. After all, what do the rest matter is the story is unengaging? I nearly fell asleep more than once because I simply was not invested in the story.

Another negative: The colorful parts (which is what I think of when I think of Willy Wonka) are very short-lived. Most of the movie is dark and dull.

Also idk that TC was the best casting decision. Every time he'd attempt comedic humor I'd cringe a bit.
