Atom User Reviews for Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory 50th Anniversary presented by TCM
Simply a great movie.......dont bother with Tim Burtons version......only plus is Freddie Highmore.......this original rules!!
Loved it the first time 50 years ago and still love it.
This is a family favorite of ours. Great to see it on the big screen.
My grandkids loved it!
Always a great flick! The kids loved it.
It was wonderful to see it on the big screen again. The video and audio were very well cleaned up and really great. And I have a major crush on Gene Wilder. π
Such a great movie, even better on the big screen. I noticed little things I haven't in the dozens of times I've watched it before.
Gene Wilder gives one of the most iconic performances in the history of the movies. It was fantastic to see this film once again on a big screen. A wonderful experience, and a great film.
I loved this movie as a kid, and have seen it many times over the years well into adulthood - it's fun for everyone!
Awesome on the big screen
We took my 13 year old daughter and our 12 year old niece - they loved it! After seeing it on the big screen they agree, there's nothing like the original!
Nothen like the big screen.
Metacritic
For a children's film, Willy Wonka is surprisingly malevolent, which is most of its fun. But the refreshing malice and twisted whimsy only kick into high gear after 45 minutes of plodding setup and film-padding songs.
