I haven’t really seen the new film, except for the trailors, but I still think that Gene Wilder is a muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better Willy Wonka. I mean, Johnny Depp just creeps me out. Seriously, he scares me (at least in his role as Willy Wonka). Go Wilder! Gene Wilder rocks! And don’t you people dare criticize him for his “unprofessional comments”! I vote Gene Wilder!
Respect to those who like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. But Dahl wrote a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that I read a few times over as a kid.
I’m quite happy that someone finally made a “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” movie.
I’m more of a book shipper, but Depp’s Wonka WAS NOT like Willy Wonka. HE HAD NO HEART. Willy Wonka LIKES kids, GOOD kids and is NICE as long as they are. Depp… wasn’t. The best thing to do is to read the book, but Gene Wilder is a better representation of Wonka. (He isn’t Wonka though. Roald Dahl is.
)
i like both versions, but i like the 1971 version better. it just was more, unoriginal, the 2005 one just seemed to try to copy the other one. i like both movies though
Johnny Depp was just creepy in the movie. Wilder was awesome. He was the best. JD was just lame.
I think I am starting to antagonize Tim Burton as well, because even though he likes some of the same stuff as I do, his opinions oppose mine.
And now Tim Burton is doing a version of my recently favourite children’s book “Alice in Wonderland” and I’m anxious his film might replace the Disney cartoon as the foremost movie adaption since his movie is also going to be released by Disney. If this happens, I’m thinking of calling him “Tim Farton.” That is one thing I hate about new stuff, people pay more attention to them than to the old stuff. Tim Burton will be just making Alice in Wonderland a bit sinister like most of today’s Alice works, like American McGhee’s Alice and Marilyn Manson’s upcoming movie on Lewis Carroll. I’ve been thinking of opposing Tim Burton’s film version, since it is going to be more like today’s Alice in Wonderland work. I’ve also been criticizing Disney for doing another adaption of the book because they have already got their 1951 classic movie version (as I mentioned on the top). I think his version will suck.
Original… for the win.
