I finally watched this yesterday. I didn't hate it, but I certainly did not enjoy it as much as I expected to based on this thread. I loved the original, and found the Burton/Depp remake to be mostly unappealing by comparison (primarily due to Depp's portrayal of Wonka). I suspect I might have enjoyed this one more if I had not seen the original, and if I were a kid, but I'm not sure about that.
I did appreciate that they flipped the script to make the adults evil, greedy, and glutenous rather than the children, though to be fair, there was really only one child role of note. I think my main issue was that there was way too much focus on shitty people being shitty, and not enough on Wonka becoming Wonka. They missed a real opportunity to dive into how he became the best chocolatier in the world. "He got it from his mother" fell flat.
It may grow on me with a rewatch or two, but don't see myself making any effort to do that.
