   • 82% 82% Rotten Tomatoes

   Critics consensus With director Paul King at the helm and some solid new songs at the ready, the warmly old-fashioned Wonka puts a suitably sweet spin on the classic character while still leaving some room for the source material's darker undertones. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   Is Wonka a good book?

   • WONKA is a delicious and delightful confection from start to finish. Full of music, wonder, and questioning of the social order, it doesn’t preach so much that it forgets to entertain. Full Review | Apr 24, 2024 Paul King delivers yet another whimsical and innocent family fun tale. Chalamet is also quite funny as the wacky chocolate maker.

   Is there a Wonka in 'Wonka'?

   • There is little to no Wonka in his Wonka. There really doesn’t seem to be much of anybody up there, oddly enough. It isn’t that we wanted the ghost of Gene Wilder to somehow be channeled through his performance — Chalamet has big I.P. shoes to fill just being there, so he wisely steers clear of the Wilder side of things.

   What makes 'Wonka' a good movie?

   • “Wonka” has songs, old and new (the most memorable are from Mel Stuart’s 1971 film), dance numbers, a river of chocolate and no surprises. Among its least surprising attractions is Chalamet, an anodyne dreamboat who delivers an enthusiastic performance with a reedy tenor and awkward kicks, his floppy hair shimmying under Willy’s top hat.

   Dec 15, 2023 · Paul King's prequel "Wonka" illustrates that notion in a breezy two-hour musical comedy. Inspired by Roald Dahl's Wonka books but not beholden to them, the film hopes to make the audience shed a sentimental tear or two, but is mainly content to amuse, delight, and inspire cheers when the bad guys are defeated.
