Wonka Ratings & Reviews
- Varun19 October 2024An acceptable film that plays it too safe. Wonka is too positively whimsical, and when this movie is touting itself as a prequel, they should’ve written a more unhinged version of him. Timothée Chalamet is fine in the role but isn’t exactly captivating. The movie is way too gray for a Willy Wonka film, there’s very few scenes that are filled with colour so it’s missing a lot of magic which kills the desire to be transported into the world. The Oompa Loompa did not work for me either and Hugh Grant admitted and even looks like he didn’t enjoy playing the character. Most of the musicals were smartly written and enjoyable, some were a miss, but Chalemet’s voice isn’t powerful enough to entrance you. All the other actors did a great job portraying their characters. This movie has a decent and pleasant story you could watch with the kids but nothing special to write home about. There was one final scene of Wonka reading a short and simple message from his mom that did almost bring a tear to my eye.
- Cubane4 April 2026That's what you get for not reading the terms and conditions. A timotheée chateau billiard wonkass slop fest that is about as corporate and soulless as it gets.
- CravanThePugilist15 March 2026I was terrified about this movie. I thought "This is going to ruin amazing legacy & suck some balls, dude." I was very happy to be proven wrong. Chalamet is just so charming in his role, I'm not sure how we can back out of liking it.
- Michael Sr.7 March 2026Better than I expected. I'm not one from musicals but this was pretty good
- Louis White4 February 2026Best Willy Wonka movie ever. So inspiring and it's definitely a world of pure imagination!
- gas station pump lighter11 March 2025i love it
- ርልዪረ12 February 2025I’m old enough to remember the original we watched every year at Christmas and Johnny Depp made a fun Wonka. This prequel is hilarious, it’s fun with some fantastic actors. The songs are catchy and hilarious. Hugh Grant is so good in it, it’s beyond belief.
- mickerdoo10 December 2025Struck the right tone for the story. Most of the songs were good. Design was fantastical. Just felt Chalamet's singing was underwhelming.
- Mr_David9 August 2025Loved it even though I don’t like musicals.

- Recordedsnake29 January 2026Wonka is a joyful burst of imagination, it's sweet, sincere, and irresistibly charming. Timothée Chalamet brings warmth and whimsy to a young Willy Wonka, while the film blends catchy songs, vibrant visuals, and genuine heart. It’s a feel-good origin story that celebrates creativity, kindness, and dreaming big, leaving you smiling long after the final note.
- NonPlayableContent22 September 2025I think its a fun movie with a great origin story and a really good attempt to build a quirky world that makes sense. Not as pleasing as the first but in the running of all the movies it's far better than the middle child movie.
- Jesse Newton20 November 2025It was very entertaining, the musical numbers were great.
- Nick Banas13 September 2025You know what? I hate musicals. But I didn't hate this.
- Felipe.Ponce27 November 2025Not a deep film. Not too much agenda. Just simple fun. Great for kids
