AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
ddesau-245-169674 I've watched this movie many times and it never gets old. I have 3 boys - they are all grown up now with kids of their own. The remember this movie and remember the messages the ooompa-loompas gave to them. All of the messages got thru to them -every time they watched it. It should be shown to all kids now days - the messages and life lessons are still true today and they were when this movie came out.
sheriffduncanflynn This film is an absolute masterpiece. I know that term gets thrown around a lot, but it truly is. It tells a simple story with pure imagination and love thrown into it. The characters are all so memorable, with a great cast to back them up, particularly Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket, and Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe. The songs are all magnificent, my favorite being Pure Imagination. The practical effects are groundbreaking even to this day. The ending is perfect, one of the best I've seen in cinematic history, one that leaves you thinking. If you haven't seen it you're missing out. High recommendation to everyone.Oh, and before you ask, the remake is just okay, in my opinion.
Dalbert Pringle Yes. Indeed. Speaking about the likes of greed, gluttony, and the absolute grotesque - You can be sure, it's all here - Wrapped up into one deceitful, under-handed, little package that has Willy Wonka's chocolatey mess smeared all over it.Without question - (From my perspective) - This 1971 children's picture has got to be one of the ugliest, most cringe-worthy movie-experiences that I've had to endure in a mighty long time.Its stupid-minded story is utterly childish nastiness to the max. And the totally repulsive "Willy Wonka" character (played so spitefully by Gene Wilder) is even more despicable than the obnoxious, little brats who all win a visit to Wonka's chocolate factory and inevitably get their (rightful?) comeuppance.
Mihai Toma When a mysterious character by the name of Willy Wonka decides to open the gates of his secret chocolate factory, five golden tickets are hidden in his chocolate bars for kids to find. Thus, only the lucky finders will have the chance to see the factory and earn a life supply of chocolate. Among other very spoiled children, a very poor and generous boy tries his luck and to his surprise, finds the last golden ticket. Joined by his grandfather, he will discover that Willy and his factory have a lot of temptations prepared for their visitors.It's a wonderful movie about compassion, greed and how kids can become if they don't receive proper education. It's very enjoyable and amusing, while Willy's character is playing a great part in this unique atmosphere. In the end, we'll find Wonka's true intentions regarding his unexpected and special tour, a happy ending being mandatory here. It's a very good movie and a great achievement when taken into consideration the year it was produced and what special effects it includes.
