Gene Wilder. I like all his movies.

Though johnny depp is cool, the old one was better to me in several senses.

Gene Wilder was funny in his own way, rather than being some wacko.

In the new one, Charlie is practically some perfect little angel, while the original one had a kid with an attitude of that of an average boy.

Wow, I watched that movie last night. O_o
Gene Wilder by far.

Gene Wilder WAS a wacko. Charlie is mean't be mature because he has to look after his family. Have you READ the book?

I do believe we are comparing the movies, no?

And Gene Wilder was indeed a wacko, but I merely left out the "just" in there. So he's funny AND a wacko.

And being mature and being some kind of perfect angel are very different. You can be mature but have some flaws. The one in the original movie was mature in ways, but got mad at points like any kid, mature or not, should. In the new one, he's mature, but he's practically perfect, and I don't see the realism in that.

I'm not saying it isn't or is like the book, I'm just saying why I like the old movie over the new one. This is my opinion, in which I never once made a comparison to the book, and the book does not affect my opinion, as I am merely stating my opinion on the movies in comparison.

A lot of things in the new one were closer to the book.

Gene Wilder was funny? You mean singing random and meaningless rhymes and having a collection of things, in half. Both examples aren't mentioned in the original book.

Charlie has to look after his family, so he isn't expected to run wild. In the original book, there is no evidence that Charlie isn't perfect. Speaking of which, the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory just added random characters which had no importance in the book, like the science teacher, Slugsworth and the man Charlie works for.

Both are good in different ways, the older film had some memorable songs, and the casting was great, the newer film didn't stray too far from the book, and the special effects topped it off. I just prefer the newer film and Johnny Depp.

The original is considered one of the greatest movies of all time and a classic. It's safe to say Johnny Depp isn't exactly the best actor ever, but Gene Wilder could be.

Am I the only one who noticed that the new Wonka is like a little boy in a grown man's body, while the old one was... well, meanish? The new wonka: "Goodmorning, starshine! The earth says hello! :3" The old Wonka: "YOU GET NOTHING!!! YOU LOSE!!! GOOD DAY, SIR!!!"
