Danna R I find it really fun because you get to see many things, like the kids’ personalities, how chocolate is made, and how someone with so much power can help a person with fewer resources. And by helping that person, they’re also helping an entire family have a better quality of life Danna reina 1001 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Francesco P Il peggior film sulla fabbrica di cioccolato Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is pretty good for all ages, and very interesting. The most thing i love of this movie is definitely the core that this film emanates, i like the dream core of the factory, that generate a feeling of uncertainty, and that feeling that give the liminal spaces, definitely an amazing movie to watch! - Luis Diaz Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Grant B.

Definition of dog poo Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Blu B On a story telling level it's not broken or anything like that. It makes perfect sense. Editing isn't bad, but in terms of adding or expanding on the 1971 classic this not only fails at that but just a complete misunderstnading of what made that work so much better...miles and miles better thats mind boggling. I get the nostalgia if you seen this as a kid but once you remove that factor my goodness this isn't even close. The CGI is terrible. The practical effects here are done in a dark twisted manner that sometimes works and other times just isn't as good as the original. It reminds sometimes of the Cat in the Hat which isn't a good thing. Deep as Wonka is so weird, unlikeable, creepy, and unnatural. Charlie and his Grandfather here feel almost like an afterthought after they enter the factory. The worst part about this is the music numbers and the soundtrack in general. It's just...wow. I mean seriously funk, 00's pop sounding numbers in a movie set long before those were even invented. It's like if Barry Lyndon used T.I. or Usher in it's soundtrack. It doesn't fit at all and honestly it feels almost borderline disrespectful to the original movie. That part more than anything rubbed me the wrong way, intentional or not. Everything else isn't that good here. The humor in this also is so cringe and weird at times. There are just straight lines that don't make sense. This focuses much more on Wonka's backstory which is a cool ieda but feels so out of place in the flashbacks. This should've been done in almost it feels like it's own seperate movie (A prequel). The small amount that that does add isn't worth the huge chunks it takes away from. Gone is all the magic, wonder, fun, and sincerity of the original and replaced with darkness, unintentional creep factor, cringe jokes,and something that feels so soulless. It has that soul less 00's look to it at times also. Skip This. This is the definition of pointless remake. Even Burton's Planet of the Apes didn't have as large a misunderstanding of the original as this does. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
