Willy Wonka - Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp?

[PittsburghTiger 6181]

The original is on right now. I prefer this one, although the Johnny Depp one was better than I thought it would be.

 

 

[DanRydell 799]

Is this really a question? I doubt even Johnny Depp's parents prefer that version.

[Michael Knight 12977]

Wat?

Never read the book, so I don't know which one follows the characters character closer, but I prefer Genes portrayal.

 

Johnny is a bit creepy in his portrayal.  Not that that's bad, but I like the cheery/twisted/ sarcastic  Candyman Gene played.

[RedDirtTexan 209]

Gene by a mile. 

[Jersey Man10 3528]

Gene for sure.

[Don Keibals 113]

Depp movie was ok, but Gene one is an all time classic. Depp doesn't even compare

 

[Radical Larry 28589]

Wilder and it’s not close.

[phdhorn 6224]

Wilder.  No one else is even in the conversation.

[bamachine 1231]

Gene is the master of smartass comedy, Depp is just the master of being weird and not in the Al way.

[Biff Tannen 45678]

[jTower 227]

Team Gene

[scottonian 36]

This is an embarrassing question to even ask. Gene

[Seger78 258]

This may be the stupidest thing I have ever read on the internet, and I have spent time in the Cloak Room.

[PittsburghTiger 6181]

Well, I said that I preferred the original. But someone out there in Hollywood thought a new one would be a good idea.

[bamachine 1231]

^Someone in Hollywood also thought a reboot of Ghostbusters with an all female team was a good idea.

It’s all there black and white clear as crystal.  Gene 100%

I'm going to be honest that I never liked that the Gene Wilder version changed things up from the book and made Charlie and his grandpa into whiny bitches.

But Wilder killed it in the role he was given and made it iconic.

Even if Depp was handed a turd sandwich, he just ate it.

The only reason that you didn't like it is because you are a sexist.  You're more than likely racist, islamaphobic, transphobic, homophobic, and voted for Trump.  I know this because you didn't like that movie... burden of proof is now on you.

Has to be a poor April Fools joke. No person in their right mind prefers Depp version.

[SMUlawUTgrad 81]

Depp version is balls

The better question is which movie has the better Oompa Loompas

[Grandioso 2592]

Say what?!?!?!?

It grossed $475m so it was a good idea as far as the studio is concerned.

Someone liked it then. That's sort of why I asked the question. 

[RCRanger03 1049]

Willy Wonka over Charlie

[Both Tacos 1806]

I somehow, just like tonight, get sucked into watching it when it comes on. Wilder makes the movie.

[TyphoonSe7en 75]

Give me Wilder too. It isn'teven close. Wilder was awesome. 

[TexArcher 37774]

Blowjobs or kicks in the nuts?

[AngryBevo 20]

Wilder but Johnny's had his moments

I spent money to see the new version. That doesn't mean I like it. Wilder all the way.

It might be a better question, but not by much. The Deep Roy Oompa Loompas were terrible.

Kill yourself

[Amobie 58]

The original was obviously better.

Depp used to be much more entertaining before he basically became a Disney property.  Take off the makeup and I don't really think there is much difference between his body language in Willy Wonka, Sweeny todd, Pirates or when he plays the mad hatter.  He basically just plays himself on shrooms instead of a character.

[nineliveslost 2753]

Original by a huuge margin
