Entertaining but I prefer Tim Burton's version.

I never saw this film as a young child so I don't love it half as much as people who have grown up with it. 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

"Like I said I am not a fan of Chocolate, but a fantasy land made out of sweets I will be there, I don't like watching this movie because I get upset at the fact that the factory is not real. Nom Nom raiting 7/10. "

"@ 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"
