Someone's watching ABC family! :D
Both movies sucked.
exaclty what I think when I was little we watched this movie in class and like four kids cried during that part so my teacher FF through the rest of it and watching that I got scared. And yes Gene Wilder was perfect for the part Johnny Depp seemed like he wanted them all to DIE!
The old one is great, but the new one is more like the book which makes it also great.
I seem to be part of the minority here. I like the new movie better. At least this time they actually got the name right! :holmes:
But, I don't deny that Johnny Depp's Wonka is horribly creepy. Although, that's why I liked the character. Creepy in just the right way. xD
Gene Wilder is not creepy in the right way. :(
I can't watch Johnny Depp's portrayal of Wonka without feeling like Tim Burton is in front of me, jumping up and down crashing cymbals together and yelling "I'm Tim Burton! This is a Tim Burton movie!!!" Wilder seems to me very much like the Willy Wonka from the book, so I prefer his performance.
I love the old Wonka, wasn't a fan of the new portrayal at all.
Do you know why the old Wonka's better? The flips when he's first shown. I love that bit. It shows that Willy Wonka is a big liar and can't be trusted.
I have never seen the original movie, but I liked Johnny Depp's interpretation a lot. Sure he's kinda creepy, but in a good and peculiar way.
