Summary: Not wonderful but a great movie.
Review: Okay, one thing I must complain about this film is that it is so unlike Roald Dahl's book. I would not be pleased. The film is good and is a definate classic but, good grief, they could've been faithful to the book just a little more. Gene Wilder carried the film all on his shoulders. The movie did not get going until his appearance. The music is okay, and the sets are fantastic. The effects are also brilliant. The child acting was fair. Overall it is a good film, but not really good. A definate for kids and fans of musicals.

Summary: Enjoy this video as if you were a young child viewing it.
Review: I have always found this movie as a very uplifting movie. It makes me feel good everytime I watch it. Put yourself in the childs mind. Don't be critical of it. I can find some flaws (like when Grampa Joe gives Charlie a Wonka bar-about 15 minutes into the movie ) which isn't really the type of Wonka bar which would contain the golden ticket (because it is too thick-the Wonkas are thinner, like a Hersheys bar). By the way, my son brought that flaw to my attention. But please overlook such things. View the movie as a child that DREAMS. We have all had dreams. Please don't be critical and just enjoy the movie. There's lots of comedy in the movie and messages for children that don't act as well as we would like them to.

Summary: The Candyman!
Review: Like Willy Wonka's "everlasting gopstopper" this movie never loses its flavor. This film continues to delight kids of all ages, as it is a children's movie with bite. Wonka luring 5 unsuspecting children and their parents, or in Charlie's case his grandpa, on a tour of his mysterious chocolate factory. Inside they find a garden of confectionary delights, maintained by the wonderful Oompa-Loompas, but Wonka has a few surprises in store and the movie charts the fine line between decadent entertainment and moral parable. It may be a little too sweet for some, but my little girl can never get enough "Chocolate," as she calls the film. There was something about those 70's children's movies that sets them apart from contemporary ones. I remember "The Point" and "Walkabout" and many others that offered fresh takes on growing up. They challenged children, not just babysat them. Wonka is no exception, as it deals with children's expectations and the parents who too easily feed them. Ostensibly a British film, many of the actors are American. Gene Wilder and Jack Albertson turn in wonderful performances. But it is Charlie, played by Peter Ostrum, who steals the show. I suppose they changed the name of the book as to not reveal the ending.

Summary: A classic family movie, fun but with a bit of dark humor als
Review: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), directed by Mel Stuart, with a run time of 100 min, is a classic family/fantasy/musical that received an Oscar nomination for Best Song Score. In this movie Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), a legendary candy maker hides five Golden Tickets in his candy bars. The finders of the tickets will get a tour of Wonka's top secret chocolate factory plus a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate, providing he or she follows the tour's strict rules. Poor, young Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum), one of the lucky winners, , brings along his Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson)on the tour. Wonka's arch enemy asks Charlie to steal an "Everlasting Gobstopper", a candy that lasts literally forever, from the factory, but Charlie can't bring himself to steal. The other 4 winners, who are all rude, nasty children, have also been approached. Inside the factory, they are awestruck by Wonka's operation, which includes a chocolate river, candy trees, plates and everything edible. There are also "Oompa Loompas", tiny little workers that sing. You'll need to watch the movie, it is fantastic and has a wonderful moral to the story. It has a tremendous, surprise ending!!!!!

Summary: Very Entertaining!
Review: I never read the book this movie was based on, Well I started to read it when I was a kid but never made it beyond the first page so I will have to try and read it sometime and see what all the fuss is about. Well anyway I have seen the 1971 movie several times and I think it's terrific, great acting from Gene Wilder and the rest of the cast but especially Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket, Jack Alberson as Charlie's Grandpa Joe and Julie Dawn Cole as Veruca Salt. Not only is the acting very good but the songs are cute and the plot is very interesting and highly entertaining! I bought the Anamorphic Widescreen DVD and I really like it, great picture with bright colors and the sound is also very good and I highly recommend this DVD. I have heard rumors of a Tim Burton remake and since his quirky movies are usually great I hope his remake will be too and I for one will watch it and give it a chance!

Summary: Fantastic Movie
Review: This is a movie that is entertaining for adults and children. The non-stop satire of poorly-behaved children is great contrasted with Charlie who is a good-kid with a good-heart. The movie has a very happy and touching ending, and is great fun all the way through.
