Despite the fact there was to much forced sentimentality, this movie had a great message. That message being it's totally cool to murder annoying children. Makes it a winner in my book.

Deservedly a classic. Retains much of Dahl's acidic wit and blatant disregard for coddling his audience. Gene Wilder does more with his relatively limited screentime than most actors do with twice as much.

Gene Wilder is great in this, and riffs nicely off the obnoxious kids and their parents. I can see why Dahl didn't like it, but this is a curiously effective translation of his book, and its unusual style has somehow endured over the years. Even the songs, perhaps bar one - Cheer Up Charlie lays it on a bit thick, are decent, and there is a enjoyably unsettling tone throughout. Get bonus points for Roy Kinnear and that "musicmakers" quote that Aphex Twin used. Worth a look.

Now this is a timeless family classic! But is it really a family movie? It's surprisingly dark, and the humor is very anti-children, but it's in the best way. It weeds out those who are deserving of the prize. Gene Wilder made Willy Wonka a genius before Johnny Depp made him a bumbling weirdo. This movie is, put simply, scrumdidliumptious! Awesome!

Some of the kid-friendly comedy doesn't work for me, but this is 1 of the most unusual movies ever made. Fairy tales used to have some really disturbing ideas & this may be the last time a film targeted towards kids had so many scary moments. I can't imagine a very little kid not crying during the speeding boat scene, but kids have just been progressively more & more coddled. This could not be made today. It's also refreshing to see a film call out bad parents. & Wilder is legendary here.

Gene Wilder makes this film palatable on numerous viewings. Expensive, post-psychedelic, Oz-ness abounds in every scene. Contains some of the most memorable circles in film history. Last time I watch the film, I was pretty sure there was a subtext about child molestation. This would seem to makes some sense out of the fact that everyone agrees this is a disturbing film, but there is no consensus as to why that is.

Delightful and vastly entertaining. A wonderfully fleshed out fantasy world, great musical numbers, hilarious dialogue...a childhood favorite, and I only appreciate it even more now. The only part I don't like is Charlie's mother's song to him, which is too serious compared to the rest of the film and pretty boring. Even then, it's still well-sung.

Rewatch. It'd been so long since I watched this or read the book, so I don't know how faithful Wilder's Wonka is. Wilder is an absolute madman with no consideration for the children. I wish they left him as a villain (or at least an unsympathetic figure who the grandpa yelled at). But it's a fun kids' movie and kids don't care about repetition. Fav scene: introduction of the Oompa Loompas.

Charlie is a punk kid who’s strategy for getting something he wants ‘more than anything’ is to whine about it and… hope? (seriously kid, at least open a lemonade stand.) But Gene Wilder is iconic in his role of Willie Wonka, the reclusive chocolate maker who is by turns whimsical and sarcastic, and the tone of the film is much more tongue-in-cheek and sassy than its candy-coated exterior may lead you to believe.

The first act of this film should be taught more broadly on how to perfectly pace character introductions, plot, and comedy, all with a handful of songs to boot. Emblematic of the borderline inappropriate way we used to craft family-friendly entertainment, Willy Wonka holds up as both artifact and timeless joy.

It has been a long time since I've watched this movie. I am a huge Roald Dahl fan and this movie combines his genius with a whole lot more into something perfect. I never noticed before that UK had so many Americans living there. It's almost like the whole movie was an American production done to look like the UK. I never picked up on all of the nuanced lines in this film when I watched it as a child. It is so smart and funny. The acting is sublime. Wilder IS my Willy Wonka. Fuck Depp.

Simultaneously fantastical (in a delightfully way) and terrifying with that trademark Dahl tendency to avoid infantilising children (and indeed to treat adults as children when they behave as such). None of the performances except for Wilder (one of the greatest character entrances in all of cinema) and the city of Munich are particularly good, but as a whole they work so well. The musical numbers are most enjoyable. I've seen it many times and will likely watch it many more times.

Willy Wonka is such a strange movie. It's full of wonder and whimsy, but also oddness and an almost surreal kind of feel in certain places. Add to that some dark and creepy undertones and it creates quite the strange experience. It's an interesting experience and one you won't be able to forget, but such an experience is a little disjointed feeling in the process.

I have to admit I am one of the few people that like the Burton remake as much as the original - although for different reasons, as they are both very different. 'Charlie' has a consistency in quality which lacks here as some scenes in 'Willy' are really lackluster compared to others, but the great scenes here are GREAT. e.g. the burping sequences is awful, but some of the other sketches are hilarious and ingenious in this capitalist consumerist propaganda piece promoting smoking. Just kidding.

Hadn't seen this since I was a child, but wanted to revisit one of Gene Wilder's most iconic roles and found it more than stood the test of time and was a perfectly enjoyable family film. Wilder is obviously perfect as Wonka and the songs endlessly memorable. It's frequently funny and the psychedelic nightmare boat trip scene is deservedly legendary in terms of horror in a kids film.

Yes aspects of it have obviously dated, and yes it does take great liberties with Dahl's classic novel, often to its detriment, but it has enough old school magic to redeem its flaws, and the nostalgic appeal is off the charts, especially for Gen X's. The chocolate factory sets aren't a patch on Burton's underrated 'reimagining', but Depp can't hold a candle to Wilder, who is the perfect living embodiment of Wonka, an eccentric confectionary genius with a mischievous grin.

Plus I love all the different characters and their parents. Roald Dahl is amazing at creating some really cool and weird characters and this story is no different. Gene Wilder plays the part of Wonka and he is just wonderful. He had me laughing throughout the film...

This movie is about as close to my heart as a movie can get. I could go on for a while about how much I love it. It's just freaking magical. I can never be sad while watching this movie, and as corny as it may be, the last scene makes me tear up every time I watch it.

I don't like the look of that grin on the candyman's face.

I'm gonna be honest, a lot of the songs really, really grate on me. Apart from that, this is a solid family film with its good share of magical moments.

The great parts are great. Everything else is arrestingly mediocre.

I can't rate this film fairly, since I loved it so much as a young kid. A lot of the films of my childhood have lost their magic for me now that I'm grown, but not this one.

This movie truly is fantastic in every sense of the word. There's lots of wonder and miracles to be found here, but at the same time this movie contains serious messages about disappointment, temptation and curiosity. Gene Wilder's deeply layered and darkly funny portrayal of Willy Wonka elevates everything to a whole new level. I absolutely love this movie.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favourite childhood films. Considering its 40 years old, it's still thoroughly enjoyable and it's a film that will always effortlessly reintroduce itself to children of all ages and generations. Gene Wilder is perfectly cast and he gives a timeless performance. When you consider how dark and creepy this film can be, it's remarkable how innocent, unintentional and heartwarming it still is. Willy Wonka is timeless classic in every sense.

The first half or so of the movie is not really all that good, although the political satire has its moments. However, It is easy to forgive the film for this because once Gene Wilder enters the scene it turns into something else entirely. The second half of the movie is an imaginative, charming and entertaining exercice in black comedy supported by Gene Wilder's great acting.
