I agree! That's what I thought Johnny Depp was like in it too!

I like the newer version. Johny depp did great. The effects were stunning also unlike in the old version. I really like that movie. Tim Burton was good.

The remake was "different" and I liked it for Johnny Depp, but I have to stay true to the original, Gene Wilder is the best....

Gene Wilder's version was much more family oriented than Depp's.

I liked both of them for different reasons. I, of course, am a huge Johnny Depp fan, so I liked the second one for that reason plus I liked the new one because it explained why Willy Wonka was so miserable. The original was good too just because it was the original. I didn't like the Oompa Loompas in either one just because they are creepy.

It creeped me out a little bit too. I think it was Johnny Depp's teeth for one. The scenes about his childhood and the oompa loompas bothered me too.

I prefer the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought Johnny Depp was good in the new version, but I did not really care for the loud music or the grandparent in it. I also did not like the new umpa lumpas or the darkness of the movie, even though I expected it to be dark because most all of Tim Burton's movies are.

I agree with you 100%, there is not a lot more I can add except when my little boys were little they watched the film so many times I knew what the characters were going to say before they said it, I had learnt the whole films soundtrack of by heart. lol

both. though d one wid johnny depp was a bit better cuz its more detailed and more realistic(based on d graphic and such) of course its explainable cuz d 1st onewas like 40+ years ago... but both r good.

I like the beginning of the new one, but once they get into the chocolate factory I like the old one better.

I enjoyed the original more than the new one. I feel that Gene Wilder is a great actor. But I do like how Johnny Depp did the character justice and gave it more of a rounded appeal.

I think I liked the original better. I think that's just how I am. I like the Classics. But, I did like the new one too. It had some intersting twists to it.
My daughter loves the new oompa loompas. I hated them! lol She thought they were (he was) hysterical.

I liked the original version better. Johnny Depp was weird and weird looking in the newer one. Gene Wilder is a nut and he's funny. The older versions bratty kids were better I think.

This is a hard question for me,I loved the first one,everything about it..but i also loved the new one with Johnny..i loved the effects,and beautiful coloring,,but he was soo creepy,and there was way too much story line,in the beginnign and end..actually I hated the end,.yet i loved the new oompa loompas and there song lol..but if i really truely had to choose id say the first one.its too bad they couldnt mix up what i loved in the new one in the old lol..

I much prefer the old version. The newer version is much too scary and evil. Willy is supposed to be a poor misunderstood man. Gene Wilder's version is sad and sweet. Johnny Depp's version seems like a pedophile.
