Creepy Wonka

If you didn't find the acid trip boat scene in the original Willy Wonka creepy, I don't understand how you judge humankind.

However, I will take Gene Wilder over Johnny Depp any day.

I agree wholeheartedly and quite fervently so. The original Willy Wonka movie is one of my all-time favorite movies; I hated the remake. The creepiness of Gene Wilder is what made the movie so great in my eyes.

Both movies sucked.

Heeeee, don't you know it. They had the old one on, which of course I watched, but I had to change the channel as soon as the new version came on. xD

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.

Johnny Depp's version horrified me as well. Not because he was creepy but because he was <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" />, utterly destroyed the character of Willy Wonka. One of the worst remakes of a film in the history of cinema and he deserves to be put down for it.

Pretty fail tbh I expected better of you

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!

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.

Look man I can't be there to save you every time you fail at life. This is your own fault. Wallow in your own failure, Deppfag.

Bwhahhaah. xD I felt much the same. I mean, I like his movies, but this one was just... over the top.

Yeah, this is why I didn't like the new one.

Plus, I love Gene Wilder for all the other stuff he's done.

[Ryth]

I love the old Wonka, wasn't a fan of the new portrayal at all.

[Quindiana Jones]

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.
