It's sad to see that the only reviews so far on this wonderful classic are negative ones. Well, it's time to balance things out!

I personally, loved this film, yes there's only so many times you can watch it, but I still found it highly enjoyable. I do not, for even a second, believe that it's 'dated', it's anything but. Also, if a film truly is 'dated' how exactly is it the films f... read more

Entertaining but I prefer Tim Burton's version.

There were some moments of the film that I really liked but there were some moments that I didn't really like. I think the main thing that I liked about this film was the fact that it was a musical, the songs were very catchy and brilliantly written and I could easily tell that it is one of ... read more

"@ DVD Personally, I still find myself preferring Tim Burton's warmer and cosier version of this famous Roald Dahl tale. A tale I think it shouldn't be too difficult to create something good of. After all, everything in it is just so imaginative, eccentric, strange and wonderful. Gene Wilder is terrific as Willy Wonka. Peter Ostrum, on the other hand, is terribly annoying as Charlie. This film suffers a lot from having a protagonist you want to punch in the face. But, several good songs and wei"
