Nice submitted by kathscot on July 5, 2024, 1:28pm Some nice singing and dancing and magical effects. The bad guys are truly bad. Teamwork wins the day.

Wonka o. DvD submitted by avrogers1 on July 14, 2024, 6:45am Loved this movie! It was such a breath of fresh air to have an original story rather than a remake. They did a splendid job and the cast was fantastic. Gave all the happy nostalgic vibes.

Catchy Musical submitted by beeniepie on August 5, 2024, 9:12pm The musical bits were catchy with great choreography and the comedic pacing was well-timed. I loved that it had several references to the original film while still keeping the plot fresh and interesting. I could definitely see how this makes a great prequel to the original film.

Delightfully charming musical submitted by Emtroyer on July 18, 2025, 10:36am I love the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book, and this movie touched on the spirit of Roald Dahl's writing. Timothee Chalamet does an excellent job as Wonka and the overall film is great.
