So the movie itself makes little sense. The characters are a weird combination of powerless but sometimes they can just magically pull off something impossible. And if it actually showed HOW some of their plans work, I'd be on board a little more. They only show some details of the "final heist", which they fail at that. And only because of Mr "Little Orange Man" has a Deus Ex Machina moment where he somehow knew where the main characters were trapped, knew how to untrap them, had a jetpack. Then to top it off, he says how he cannot go home, and ends up working FOR someone else depsite the Oompa Loompa being smarter, has more recourses, possibly richer, and also seems to understand chocolate more.
However, the reason why this is still a solid 7, is because the acting and musical numbers make up for it. It gave me the feeling that this was how the movie was thought up: Someone had a few cool musical numbers written and he approached a studio with money. So they inserted his music in a pre-established fictional world. It didn't matter what it was, as long as it had a recognizable name. LOL.
But the ending with Willy getting out the chocolate and seeing his mother was super amazing.
