Which Willy Wonka do you think was best? Gene Wilder or Johny Depp?

I actually prefer Johnny Depp's acting in the movie. He makes it seems stranger, which makes it more interesting.
The re-make was shit though.

I agree, the remakes of classics are always shit >_>
Now parodies on the other hand...

It's hard to find a good parody. So I don't really like them.

Johnny.

It seemed in both movies they played completly different personalities. Allthough I like the other guy Johnny Depp completly stole the movie for me.

Pfff, Wilder fir the win. He seemed that much more unstable and psychotic. That and his lines are part of a song by Pendulumn.

God ****ing dammit, the new movie wasn't a remake, it was another movie based on the same book.


Anyway, I liked Johnny Depp's performance better, though Gene's is more enduring.

johnny depp makes it creepier :D = win. plus he didnt sing a whole bunch of gay songs, only the oompahs did and they were actually funneh,

Gene all the way .

I only liked him when he did "Young Frankenstein"

Stop trying to be a smart arse by correcting shit that makes no difference. A movie was made on the book as the original movie. Then a newer version was brought out. Thus creating a re-make.

Even though I like Gene Wilder more, I like Depp better in it.

A remake implies that they were making the same movie again. It's not a remake if they weren't basing it on the movie. It's a separate product from the Gene Wilder film.

Saying it is a remake is like saying that Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is a remake of the animated "The Lord of the Rings" that was made back in 1978, even though the two are rarely associated, or that The Dark Knight is a remake of the 1960's Batman TV show, because both are based on the comic books.

And it actually does make a difference. When people start thinking of the new film as a remake of the older film, people forget that both are adaptations of the same book, and so the book doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This is important because it was Roald Dahl that had all the big ideas, that crafted the story and characters, and so he needs the recognition he deserves.

Jhonny Depp is my favourite actor ever.

Hes bloody brilliant and bloody talented. I loved his ``Pirates of the Caribbean,'' 's. All of it <3

Hes epicly awesome

Gene Wilder is heaps better than Depp

All Johnny ever does is get into roles as an excuse to wear makeup
