Which Wonka?!!

[Arcademan]

Which version of Willy Wonka do you like more? The classic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" with Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp's version in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"?

well Gene Wilder played a miuch better wonka...jonny dep's wonka came of super psycho and evil,

but the modern wonka movie followed the book better. they eevn had the arabian prince with the chocolate palace scene...

maybe if they didnt make Wonka come off as a sociopath in the modern one id like the modern one completely, but for now its more or less tied

Difficult. Very difficult. As mentioned above, the new movie (plot and songs) follows the book better. The old movie didn't really... Well, the environment was less lovable. The Oompa-loompas were kinda odd and the factory itself looked a bit iffy. But that was the style back in those days.
Also, Johnny looks extremely hawt awesome as Willy Wonka. Howeverrr... This new Johnny personality doesn't match the book at all. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful personality. I love the psychopaticness. However, it just doesn't say... 'Willy Wonka'. So you have to give the old movie credit for catching it properly.

Hmmm.... Well, it's a tough choice, but I'm going to go with the new movie. Though if Johnny was less of a Psycho and more of a Willy, it'd have been an even more obvious choice.

When asking me which Wonka I like better, not comparing it to the book... Hmm... I'd say Johnny's Wonka. The whole dentist story just fit so nicely.

Lol, I actually liked them about equally. ^_^ Johnny Depp is a wonderful actor and Gene Wilder is a wonderful actor- I give credit to them both where credit it due. They're different interpretations, but both very good.

i actually like them both... gene wilder made wonka seem really "mysterious" while johnny depp made him seem more insane/childish. both were interesting portrayals of wonka...

[Sandra-chan]

I voted Johnny Depp, I think he is great! but also because I haven't seen the first movie ^^.

[Sabbe-chan]

I also voted for Johnny Depp, he's a really great actor, but I haven't seen the other movie soo I can't really tell which Wonka that's best.

[MJ Walker]

I liked the Johnny's Willy, I like the psycho-ness that he gave it. So new Willy it is!

[ricochet]

personally i like gene wilder as wonka;the new one(johnny depp)sounds like a mad scientist to me...0_ocreeps me out..

[Airashii]

I really like the new wonka, it's more similar to the book.

[Takeru]

Gene Wilder gave off a familiar, friendly impression. Johnny Depp's Wonka was interesting and refreshing. It really depends on what kind of mood you're in, really. But both are good actors. So... equal.

Now that I have finally seen the movie I can safely say Depp!Wonka. I like how he made the character his and the movie didn't put me to sleep like the other one did. He showed Wonka in a way I would never had pictured him, crazy, mysterious, cold, and angsty. Gene Wilder made him look magical and human (in my mind at least).
