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.

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.

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

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.

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


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

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

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

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

The better question is which movie has the better Oompa Loompas

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

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

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.
