A polarizing, but classic piece of children's entertainment filled with whimsy, horror, comedy and imagination.
When the movie does actually reach the factory, and Gene Wilder takes the stage, the movie is saved.
... that rare breed: an imaginative live-action kid's film that engages and delights adults.
Starring Gene Wilder, this offbeat comedy-fantasy for children has achieved a status in pop culture
This is Gene Wilder's legacy. He was perfect for the role, and it was his mixture of childlike wonder and bitter, deserved vengeance that made the character so compelling.
Pure, sweet imagination for both kids and adults.
The Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Blu-ray is a charming presentation of an overrated childhood benchmark.
The passages in the mysterious factory, which should be Charlie's and our release from the oppression of the earlier scenes, are just as ugly as everything that's come before, so there's no contrast.
Who can deny that the film's overall intention is positive, playful fun. The film is a joy. (40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition, Blu-ray)
It's all wonderfully colorful and imaginative, and filled with a multitude of references and jokes that will be understood only by adults.
...filled with good humor, good acting, and good songs...and it's just off kilter enough to keep everyone's attention.
Great fun, with Wilder for once giving an impeccably controlled performance as the factory's bizarre owner.
Ainda que um ou outro número musical comprometa o ritmo, o clima de fantasia e a atuação calorosa de Wilder conquistam o espectador.
Aspires to the whimsy and fantasy of The Wizard of Oz but doesn't really capture the magic… more a fond tribute to 'pure imagination' than a triumph of it.
The movie bursts with creativity, deep thought and comedy.
