Pure, sweet imagination for both kids and adults.December 22, 2009
The passages in the mysterious factory, which should be Charlie's and our release from the oppression of the earlier scenes, are just as ugly as everything that's come before, so there's no contrast.July 22, 2008
It's all wonderfully colorful and imaginative, and filled with a multitude of references and jokes that will be understood only by adults.July 25, 2011
Starring Gene Wilder, this offbeat comedy-fantasy for children has achieved a status in pop cultureMay 04, 2012
It's Gene Wilder, at the top of his form, who makes this uneasy amalgam work, but [Mel] Stuart must surely deserve some of the credit...October 19, 2011
... that rare breed: an imaginative live-action kid's film that engages and delights adults.January 29, 2012
A polarizing, but classic piece of children's entertainment filled with whimsy, horror, comedy and imagination.December 05, 2016
The film has a rosier reputation than it earns, but its strengths are awfully good, and [Gene] Wilder is one for the history books.June 26, 2011
This is Gene Wilder's legacy. He was perfect for the role, and it was his mixture of childlike wonder and bitter, deserved vengeance that made the character so compelling.October 04, 2014
With a single gleam of his eye, Wilder pulls off more hints at a devious personality than all Johnny Depp's white make up, and bad wigs combined.October 21, 2011
When the movie does actually reach the factory, and Gene Wilder takes the stage, the movie is saved.January 26, 2006
Great fun, with Wilder for once giving an impeccably controlled performance as the factory's bizarre owner.
