   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

   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.

   Does 'Wonka' have a dark side?

   • But in “Wonka,” the fun, rousing, impeccably staged, jaw-droppingly old-fashioned musical prequel to the legendary Roald Dahl tale, Timothée Chalamet plays the title character as the beaming soul of effervescent goodness. His chocolate passion is there (he’s all but defined by it), but the kinks are gone; so is any trace of a dark side.

   Is Willy Wonka a sweet treat?

   • It's a seriously sweet treat that is 'straining at every sinew' to be the best possible family entertainment, writes Nicholas Barber. Not many of us have ever wondered about the backstory of Willy Wonka, the wizard-like confectioner from Roald Dahl's classic 1964 children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

   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.
