Oct 02, 2014Oompa Loompa doompadee doo, I've gotta great movie for you...Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder gives an iconic performance in this beloved family classic. Written by Roald Dahl, confectionery genius Willy Wonka offers a once in a lifetime, whimsical tour of his famous chocolate factory to 5 lucky golden ticket winners. It starts off a bit slow, but once Wilder hits the screen the film lights up; especially in the factory, which is full of fascinating gadgetry and vivid colors. And, the musical numbers are incredibly fun, featuring such memorable songs as "The Candy Man," "Oompa Loompa," and "Pure Imagination." A tasty treat, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a fantastical adventure that taps into the inner child of us all.Dann M Super Reviewer

Apr 02, 2014Classic fantasy film based on Roald Dahl's book, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a standout film with some truly engaging performances, amusing musical numbers and impressive visuals. Gene Wilder is great in the lead role, and the film has the perfect balance of dialogue and musical numbers to make it a truly engaging experience. This is an eccentric fantasy film, one that should be seen by anyone that enjoys a bizarre, story. For fans of the book, they should check this out, and with that being said, I think that Gene Wilder was the perfect choice to play Willy Wonka, and he delivers one of his strongest performances of his career. This is a well crafted picture with some memorable moments that is sure to entertaining you from start to finish. This is a classic film that is constantly entertaining, and boasts a truly unique story. If you want a fantasy film that can capture your imagination, then this is the one to watch. The film has strong performances from everyone involved, and is a fun film to be enjoyed by anyone that loves this genre. Gene Wilder, like I said steals the show and he makes this film a truly memorable picture. Roald Dahl disowned the script that he wrote, but I think that it's still a strong picture, one that makes you want to read the book. The film boasts a strong sense of visuals, which are impressive for its time, and it also adds so much to the film's atmosphere. If you want a standout fantasy picture, then this is a perfect film to watch. The amount of musical numbers is fairly minimal, and it's a good thing because it permits to focus a lot on the story as well. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a cinematic classic, and one that is near perfect.Alex r Super Reviewer
