Johnny Depp just looks too bizarre in the new one, and the whole dentist story was...eh. The movie as a whole was very pretty, but the original is just classic.

Gene Wilder IS Willy Wonka.



It was a good try for both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, but I agree, it was just too bizarre for me.

I really like them both for different reasons, but I went with the original.

I can understand liking the newer one a lot. What I can't understand is anyone liking it more than the original.

That movie is so amazing and looks amazing. I love the look of it more than the newer. I mean HELLO no one can capture the magic that the candy park had. NO ONE. And well, Helena Bonham Carter isn't in it.

Oh yeah...and no stupid special effects like in the Burton film. Rolling Eyes

Golly, Poster


well, I've only seen part of the original when I was ten or so. and I don't remember much, except that it frightened me.
I've seen the new one several times, and I love it.

i loved the new one, but honestly it will never stand up to the original. the songs are so kickass, like "pure imagination." it's awesome.

and i know everyone says that johnny depp is too bizarre, but i think the original is a lot creepier at times.

didnt the newer one stay truer to the book?

regardless, the original is by far superior. "we are the magic makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams."

they did the squirrel thing rather than the golden egg for veruca salt

gene wilder>johnny depp

also, the old one was called willy wonka and the chocolate factory
and the new one was called charlie and the chocolate factory, which is the name of the book.
