Willy Wonka

I am Mr. T · 07/01/08, 03:29 AM

Depp or Wilder? I like the old one better because he's actually funny. He's got more of an all knowing kind of charicteristic. He's also a nice guy with kind of a cynical sense of humor. Gene Wilder is awsome.

I actually like both..

Though, since I "grew up" watching the older one, and looked forward to watching it every year-or-so when it was on tv, i'll go with that..

Yeah, pointless post, but what can you do.

I like both as well. Although I thought Depp was better at times and then when I watched with Gene Wilder at other times it was better. But I only really watch it cuz I'm more into Charlie. He's my favorite character there. I like Freddie as Charlie better though. But yeah, good movie, Willy Wonka is!

Gene Wilder was a brilliant Willy Wonka. Of course, I wish it was more to be about the book than a promotion of chocolate sales, but even still, I liked the old one better. Sorry, Johnny Depp.

they both had their moments but I give the edge to Wilder, he seemed better to fit the part.

cl00sd · 07/01/08, 06:14 PM

I liked the original Willy Wonka better than the New one so yeah Gene Wilder

Cameron · 07/01/08, 06:22 PM

The new Willy Wonka destroyed the old one in every way imaginable, and that includes Depp's presentation of Wonka =D

Axel Owns · 07/01/08, 06:22 PM

Gene Wilder played a much better Willy Wonka IMO.
I remember being particularily amused at his attempts to stop Mike Teevee
''Wait...stop *whatever*''

Depp's portrayal of the character was plain creepy.
and, like Wall-E said, he'll always be Captain Jack Sparrow to me XD

most definitly gene idk who could really think johnny for this

sorry Depp you wernt meant to be willy wonka

Cameron · 07/02/08, 03:13 AM

What, seriously?

I always thought that Wilder's portrayel was a lot creepier than Depp's. Johnny brought a kind of quirky charisma to the role that was there with Gene, but not in nearly as large doses :C

slinky · 07/02/08, 03:18 AM

are you kidding? lol im not trying to be mean ohnestly soryy if i offended you i really didnt mean to. just about every word that came out of Depp's mouth was just creppy to me just how he said everything, he had that serial killer feeling to him to me just midly disturbing really *shivers*

I loved Depp as Wonka. Gene was pretty cool too. But, Depp's version was more memorable imo. He was a sarcastic asshole to all those bratty kids, which I loved watching.
