Parent Previews
Youngsters may temporarily come down from their sugar highs during some very brief nightmarish scenes on a boat ride, or feel some concern (despite Mr. Wonka's reassurances) when children's disobedience results in some bizarre consequences. ...read the complete Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie review at Parent Previews
B-Movie Central (Duane L. Martin)
This is the role Gene Wilder was born to play. He does a phenomenally great job of playing legendary candy maker Willy Wonka, bringing a sense of mystery and madness and fun to the role. Willy's got a problem. ...read the complete Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie review at B-Movie Central (Duane L. Martin)
Movie Gazette (Gary Panton)

DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)
Though quite a few members of DVD Talk and the Home Theater Forum are expressed considerable difficulty in finding this widescreen special edition of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in stores, this disc is well-worth the effort.

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Although Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was more or less ignored on its initial release back in 1971, it is now regarded as a children's classic, although some adults may still think it too disturbingly sadistic for their own children. Seeing it as ...read the complete Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
