    ★★

    This felt super unfocused to me. Ultimately the “A” plot of the multiple Mickeys didn’t even matter as the movie doubled down on its way less interesting “B” plot. Characters and plot threads are set up in engaging ways but don’t ever really go anywhere (and in some cases disappear from the film entirely). Some of the performances were a bit distracting, but man Robert Pattinson really deserves any movie he wants, love watching all his different Mickeys.

    Also I do love watching movies and recognizing British comedians who have appeared on Taskmaster. Look! It’s Tim Key from Taskmaster!

    ★★★

    This kind of feels like a Dragon Ball movie where the first half is kinda just entirely setup for the second half, which is where all the fun action is.
    I liked the characters and their designs quite a bit! For the most part I thought this was pretty beautifully animated, though some shots had some odd compositing and weird editing choices. Tone was a little inconsistent, especially which how much it doubled down on potty humor during more serious moments.
    But the fights were super cool to see, and it ends on a pretty interesting setup for a sequel!

    Not as tight or clever as the previous two, but still quite a few laughs to be had and heartstrings to be tugged. 

    I’m mad at Wonka though.

    If I could go back in time and show my 8 year-old self one thing, there are some serious things I would have to prioritize over this. But if I get one freebie it would be this movie.
