Was Gene Wilder criticized for his roles?

Answered in Gene Wilder's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Well, some found my… *enthusiasms* a bit much, I suppose. Perhaps the sheer joy in the fantastical, the willingness to dive headfirst into the wonderfully bizarre, wasn't for everyone. Some prefer things more… grounded. But isn't that the joy of it? To see the world through a different lens? To find the humor, the poetry, in what others might dismiss as mere silliness? It’s all in the imagination, you see. If it made someone think, or even just smile a little wider, then that’s something, isn’t it?
