A colourful, inventive, creative nostalgia roller coaster.
It's a treat to revisit Roald Dahl and watch his books' film adaptations after all these years - and at Christmas. See my review of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' here for more. Including the hilarious, slightly sinister and mad chocolatey goodness for kids.Although, in reading 'The Complete Adventures of Charlie and Mr Willy Wonka', which includes the sequel, 'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator', I can see why that was never adapted into film. It is completely, utterly, 100% bonkers. Who knew what Roald Dahl was on when he wrote that. And it is entirely possible that he was watching 'Star Trek' at the time of writing it. Ironic given his books' hatred of television.
But go with the flow and keep going, and you are in for tasty, outlandish fun. It'll make you feel like a child again; at Christmas and eating as many candies and chocolates as you like.
Final Score: 3.5/5
