Pros: Fun Children's movie that teaches valuable lessons Cons: Older children may think the movie is "stupid"
Yesterday, my youngest son came rushing home excited and jumping because he had found a "new" old movie (as he puts it) that he watched at his day care yesterday and he had to tell me all about it in great detail -- Willie Wonka and the Chocolate...
Pros: Fantastic Fantasy movie! Cons: may be too scary in parts for small children
This 1971 film did not rave well in the beginning but today it is a classic. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a movie about the values in life that are true, trustworthy pure-of-heart-love. It shows the viewer that there is much more to ...
Pros: great characterization, delightfully wacky Cons: a couple plot stretches
Based on a book by the wildly imaginative and often off-the-wall Roald Dahl, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is a story about the power of imagination, the ability of goodness to rise above adversity, and chocolate. Charlie Bucket, the...
Pros: The boy who plays Charlie, the dark, Roald Dahl humor that remains Cons: musical numbers, 2-dimensional quality of the characters, Willy Wonka is scary
Judging by the number of reviews on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I know that I am going to offend some die-hard fans. However, I can hold it in no longer! I HATE this movie!
Pros: A Brilliant Family Film Masterpiece. Cons: None.
In the world of films, there are movies that are great to watch with your entire family. From the Disney cartoon films, Shirley Temple, and even the recent animated film “Shrek. Then there are those films that are widely considered classic family...
Pros: Pure delight Cons: A little dark for small children
The first time I saw this movie was in 1971 when I took my two younger brothers to see it and I instantaneously fell in love with it. Ten years later I introduced my son to it and it became his favorite.
Well to start off with, I only wish that this place was real, even if only for a rare visit when you are depressed or just really needing a pick me up and make me feel better day. I used to watch this movie for years growing up, and I really wanted ...
I know, I know.....we need another review of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory like Rush Limbaugh needs more legal trouble. With over 120+ reviews on this film, I don't think there is anything I can say that hasn't already been said. But, in all ...
Pros: Gene Wilder, hilarious humor, incredible sets Cons: Satiric edge may be too dark for some kids
This delightful, hilarious film has always been a favourite of mine thanks to frequent television broadcasts. Mel Stuart's adaptation of Roald Dahl's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (scripted by Dahl himself) is a terrific, and very unusual...
Pros: Gene Wilder, the chocolate, the kids Cons: Slow beginning
I was shocked to hear a rumor that Nicholas Cage would be doing a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. (Please tell me this isn't true!) Not only can I not imagine anyone else but Gene Wilder in the title role, but Nicholas Cage has been...
Pros: Great piece of 1970s camp. Cons: The changes caused by political correctness (come on, ORANGE Oompa Loompas?!)
Perhaps, like me, you had to grow up during the late 1960s and early 1970s to fully appreciate "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." By today's digital special-effect standards, it looks rather lame and corny. But in an era when the psychadelic ...
Pros: Gene Wilder's maniacal performance! Cons: Pretty much everything else.
FULL DISCLOSURE: This review was originally written just before the Johnny Depp CHARLIES AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY came out. My opinion hasn't changed. First of all, I will not try to compare the Gene Wilder version with the book. Never read the ...
