How does Timothee Chamalet hold up in the title role? Is there such a thing as 'too good' of a cast? How does the film try and retcon some stuff from earlier films? Were they telling the right story?  We'll answer all these questions on Wonka and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
