Other than the villain song, almost every other song in this movie was so forgettable and it doesn't help that Chalamet is just an okay singer. It would've benefitted a lot to get a broadway type of singer for the role, but Chalamet had enough charisma for the rest of the non-musical parts of the movie. Overall I enjoyed it and so did my niece and nephews. They got more appreciation for the original movie when we went back home and I showed them the original Willy Wonka movie.

I didn't really like the villain song, >.< . I thought it was a bit weird, and not in a charming way.

I feel like there could have been better picks, but Timothy did a good job overall. I do agree, though... his singing voice wasn't as strong as I would've liked, but it was serviceable.

Are you me TC? I also watched yesterday!

But yeah there needs to be a sequel where he becomes jaded and forgets his mission of bringing joy bc this version isn't the same dude we got in the OG. it was fine overall tho.

I found out it had finally been added to Max and had the spare time and energy, so I just gave it a shot yesterday, lol.

Don't get me wrong, I think Willy in the original was kind, but... that wasn't his only personality trait. He was also jaded and cynical, so I feel like the sequel may need to show something that made that side of his personality come out. I personally imagine that he was betrayed by someone important to him at some point and that was what started to sour him, but... this is something we could see in the sequel if they do it right.
