Same for me, I like Johnny Depp and Tim Burton but I just can't get into this version of it, for me Willy Wonka will always be Gene Wilder

This looks like a good release, really like this version as well as the original film adaption

richieb1971 · 04-07-2009, 01:57 PM

Just watched this. PQ 4.5/5. AQ 4.5/5

Bright and colourful, the end credits seemed to have some banding (is that the correct terminology?), but the main feature looked wonderful.

I'd give Warner a 5 for keeping the movie bootable from the offset. I don't like the others studios ideas of putting 1000 logo's/commercials and trailers on the front.

Josho · 08-11-2009, 11:26 PM

Would I be able to play this on my system in the US?

It's a Warner release so I'm pretty sure it's Region Free. If there are any previews in PAL, then you can just tell your PS3 to skip directly to the main feature.

Craig02 · 08-11-2009, 11:33 PM

According to blurayregioncodes its region free

Josho · 08-11-2009, 11:36 PM

Excellent, thank you!

I've checked the aspect ratio on my TV. The cover says it's a 1:85:1, but there are no black bars on top or the bottom. So the correct aspect ratio is assumingly: 1:78:1

FrankV · 07-05-2010, 10:49 AM

Yes, the aspect ratio is 1.78:1. Warner has a lot of releases where the covers says 1.85:1 while it's 1.78:1.

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but just thought I'd give a heads up.

I bought this from Amazon this week, and surprisingly, it came with a slip - which included a sticker promoting the West End show, so I'm guessing this was a relatively new pressing, as I've not heard about the film coming with a slip before.

Sky_Captain · 04-06-2014, 12:53 AM

I wondered why HMV had tonnes of it, for no apparent reason.
