Surprised there's not a thread for this?  I've been meaning to find the chance to see it for weeks now and finally managed it today! I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a kid (the book as well as the Gene Wilder film) so I was hyped to see this, especially with it not being another remake. I was really impressed, Timothée Chalamet is mesmerising as Willy Wonka and I really liked a lot of the supporting characters too. Easy to see why it's doing so well too, it's a perfect "family" film.Got goosebumps during the Pure Imagination moment  and I'm kinda hooked on this bop now |

'Scrub Scrub' has been stuck in my head ever since I saw this a few weeks ago
 (also enjoyed, a much less traumatic cinema experience than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aged 8 when Augustus Gloop getting stuck up the tube was how I discovered I had claustrophobia xx) |

My new year's resolution is to make threads for movies for this year. Sometimes I just log them on my Letterboxd and then just don't bother
 I loved this! So joyous and wonderful. My favourite song is 'You've Never Had Chocolate Like This' (the big main one!) but honestly I've been playing the songs on repeat. I was so wrapped up in this world that I would like a couple more films to see what made him spiral into the sarcastic/cold Gene Wilder version. |

I saw this over the weekend and loved it, so good.
Timothée Chalamet was excellent and I'm a fan of Jim Carter too. Scrub Srucb, and Sweet Tooth the two stand out songs for me. I've had them in my head all week. |

This was THE BEST thing I have seen in years, absolutely utterly LOVED it!
It's just magical, I walked out of the cinema beaming, the songs are gorgeous, Timothy is perfect, the storyline works so well, visually stunning honestly I am tempted to go and watch it again. Pure imagination is my favourite song but also loved world of your own, a hatful of dreams, scrub scrub... oh every single one tbh!

Me and my partner went to see it. We were the only two in the screen showing it but I was thrilled. I only went because he really wanted to see it and I was so pleasantly surprised. I would love a sequel but we'll see what happens.

I went to see this for the second time as I loved it that much, enjoyed it even more the second time, it's utterly brilliant and Timothy is so charming in the role.
Cinema was packed both times for me. |

Not surprised it got no major Oscar nominations but not even a soundtrack or special effects or costume nomination? Snub!
