New Wonka Has No Bite

I'm sure you've at least been exposed to the saltest in a sudden flurry of one-word-title-that's-the-name-of-the-main-character movies – Wonka. No offence to Timothée Chalamet, but I don't like it. Gene Wilder's Wonka was a lying child-endangering nutter who who took people on mad psychedelic boat rides with giant insects while screaming at them. Depp's was perhaps more deranged (for better or worse). I don't think Chalamet will have any scenes with this kind of bite, and all that's left behind will be a sickly-sweet feel-good movie with little actual substance.
