Atom User Reviews for Wonka
Finally, some innocent movie with no hidden agenda
Best movie I’ve seen in a while! Much better than wish! The entire family loved it.
This was a really good musical. The whole family would enjoy it. It's not similar to Disney movies. It's more like the original Willy Wonka. The singing is good. This movie is set as a time before the Willy Wonka with Gene Wilder. They did a great job of choosing an actor for the main character. His looks make you think of a young Gene Wilder. His voice is good fit for the music. He doesn't sing in falsetto. Great movie.
We loved it. It’s a cute movie; funny and a lesson for young viewers. Follow your dreams and make them happen.
the movie ended and my daughter immediately said Best movie ever
i really enjoyed Wonka. tim challomey was yhe perfect young wonka. hugh Grant was funny
I loved this movie!! I almost cried a couple times such a cute movie
The movie started off well but I was unable to enjoy or stay to watch the movie due to people not being able to control there kids!!!! I
Timothee can sing!
Very enjoyable! Wonka fills in the backstory of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Timothee Chalamet, a young Willy Wonka did a wonderful job creating the mystery and magic of Wonka’s world of imagination. The music, vocals, and dancing sequences were excellent. The story was interwoven with heartwarming emotion. Will the movie win academy awards, maybe not, but the time was well spent and I enjoyed the movie immensely.
Thought it was going to be wack tbh… ended up liking it alot
Have to say out of all the wonka movies they have done over the years this one was my favorite the story was good the songs weren’t to bad it had its funny moments all in all it was a good movie
Movie is mid but enjoyable, Not worth a second watch though.
I didn’t really expect much of this movie being a kid’s movie and all, but was pleasantly surprised and actually shed a few tears towards the end (I won’t spoil it though). Anyway, it was a very heartwarming movie about dreams, faith, joy and love. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even more surprising was that my husband loved it too!!
One of the most enjoyable movies of the last year. The only one that I will see again.
somewhat a musical.... you will enjoy
I enjoyed it more than I thought. Cast did a great job and the writing was strong. Must see
Excellent performance
both ironically and unironically funny. really good
bland movie
This was a musical I was not a fan
I LOVED IT WAY MORE THEN I EXPECTED OMG OMG OMG
Immersive clever storytelling. I didn’t think that happened anymore. The lead actor was great. It did lack the satirical bite of the original but it was Way better than that Johnny Depp piece of awfulness
Lovely emotional experience
Loved it saw it twice
thus is the worst, most boring movie I have ever seen. disgrace to the franchise
Great Prequel! Great little plugs to the original Willey Wonka movie.
This feels like a great prequel to the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I think the singing was great and the cast played their roles really well.
This movie is a great example of a reboot done right. Unlike Tim Burton’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, this story doesn’t just pay light hearted homages to Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka while adding some nice lighthearted spins for Willy’s Origin story instead of being dark and weird. The cast was perfect, the story was well paced and well told, the songs were wonderful and memorable! I think those who hate this movie are very biased and believing Hollywood has run out of ideas. This idea is actually genius and well deserved of a better reboot. See this movie if you love the Paddington movies or a fan of the original Willy Wonka, you’ll enjoy yourself and have food on hand lol 😂
Great acting, story and ending! So MUCH better than I expected!
So so so good!! We loved it!!
great film, unique and adds to the Wonka world.
Love it! Period.
Enjoyed it with my grandstand she really liked it
Movie staff needs to walk around more cause there’s people who do not respect the theater and talk so much and let their kids walk around a lot.
Wonka
Very good for kids
Cute movie!
I usually hate musicals but this movie was great ! Had a goofy vibe to it and gave me feels from both previous Wonka films .
Such a fun romp!
Great Twist on the storyline for Willy Wonka
Better than previous iterations
Wonderful movie
According to most my opinion is unpopular but i love this film. Its not the story you expect and unless they do another one it doesn’t tie into previous films enough. But i love it as its own independent thing. I feel like everyone has made their minds up before seeing it, go watch it. Its great
Such a beautifully made film. Enjoyed it so much!
I grew up loving Willy Wonka as a candy mascot. Own the previous two movies. Worth watching twice.
I saw Wonka with my friend and it was a great watch<3 I surprisedly enjoyed it even though it was a musical which i’m not much of a fan for. I recommend :))
Chalamet killed it as wonka, if you love musicals then you will definitely love this
It was a rollercoaster with emotions.
THE MOVIE OF THE YEAR
Metacritic
It's as enthusiastic yet inscrutable as Wonka himself, played with an elegantly withholding quality by Chalamet, who in moments of quiet contemplation and madcap inspiration could be Gene Wilder's long-lost grandchild.
While Wonka overfills its slate with two or three escalating climaxes, the throwaway verbal jokes en route keep the contraption humming.
In addition to committing to its sense of fun, Wonka reminds us that life is made sweetest by the people we share it with. If that’s not particularly novel, it’s still as comforting and scrumptious a notion as a chocolate bar.
