It feels like he’s desperately trying to be whimsical but is awkward and unnatural at it so his performance feels super fake. If you’re going to make a Wonka movie then Wonka’s performance matters more than anything else.
What got me was the accent he is using. It seems to keep switching all depending on the dialogue he is giving, which I found kind of distracting but maybe it’ll be better in the actual film? Who knows, I do think he is a talented actor and I really loved the first two Paddington movies so maybe this will turn out.
Uh. Timothee looks…kinda terrible in this?

YES! The “look at how eccentric and whimsical I am!” mannerism is rubbing me off the wrong way.
For the studio it’s good enough for young folks who have never experienced anything of quality or substance.

Agreed re: accent.
I think he’s talented too, but limited. He’s got a bit of dead eyes here and I’m not hopeful for his performance.
Paul King is the reason why I’m even remotely curious about this movie!
Gene wilder was a bit dead eyed as Wonka.
Intentionally, though lol.
Same thought, reaaaaally bad casting here. Not the right energy at all.
