neither of them are exactly like he is in the book though

he made willy worka look really creepy and sadistic lol

exactly slytherin360 that wy gene is better

Jonny Depp was very good and gave Willy a new personality, but the performance of Gene was overall much better

Gene was really freaky. But i love Johnny though ^^

gene wilder was freaky, i didnt like him as much as johnny depp

okay, i think Johnny Depp di a good job, i love the older moive the best!!

Johny Depp is funnier!

yeah, Johnny is WAY better!

they are pretty much both tied.

Johnny Depp ROCKS!!!

agree

He made the character so much more.
I lvoed the way he made Wonka creepier and more mysrious too!

i liked both...but prefer Johnny Depp that little bit more.

Johnny of course!!!

The other guy FREAKS me out, but Johnny creeps me out...hes in creepy movies so im pretty loving towards his creepiness, but the other ones just....UUuuhg *shiver*

Of Course Johnny! The other guy is.....how can i say it...BORING. He is the real Willy Wonka. His performance was so funny and serious together. Good Job, Johnny my Dear! <3

easy pick

<3...

I think Johnny's, though good, was too hyperactive. Gene's was calmer and had comic relief in him too.

Gene Wilder was creepy!

Much funnier.

johnny depp is funny, sexy and hot in this movie!!!

Johnny Depp was awesome as Charlie! He rocked!

Definately! He makes the role so much more fun and entertaining. I thought the older one was very boring...

By a mile. I like the old film way, way more than the new one.

easy pick. Come on people thanks to johnny and tim we know about willy wonka.

iluvtheoffice12,oblix,dei-girl,gomilk,Clon­edP­ick­le,­kat­iec­ain you guys suck big time if you are a johnnys fan how can you pick for the nasty guy. yes johnny d thanks to johnny and tim we know about willy wonka oh and you guys know that gene wilder got mad cuz the new charlie and the chocolate factory movie is more famous and has more fans haha

johnny rocks

I am a huge johnny depp fan (hypothetically speaking of course) but i think johnny depp could have done a lot better job of that character...i never liked the gene wilder one at all though

allthough i love johnny depp a lot
i didnt think he really played willy as well as Gene did
not saying i didnt like him as willy
i'm just saying that gene was kinda better at playing willy then he was ^^

SLYTHERIN360 I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE JOHNY DOES MAKE HIM MORE CREEPY AND SADISTIC! BUT IN A GOOD WAY! ERM AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THINK. I THINK ITS SEXY!!!!! ^/////////////////////////////////////////­///­///­//^ HES SEXY!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!

Johnny Depp!

..........................................­...­..G­ENE WILDER!!!! :P

I like them both but this guy better
<3

EPIC!!

Both are great, but Depp added more flavour to the character.

Gene Wilder will always be better.

I prefer Johnny Depp as an actor, but cmon, Gene Wilder is a much better Willy Wonka! The new Wonka really does get on my nerves.

But no dont worry. Once again, Johnny Depp just wins every freakin' poll hes featured in.

i loved him he was hilarious and did y'all know Roald Dahl hated the original? i seriously cracked up wen he first met them and he's like "good morning starshine the earth says hello" and they look at him like wtf

He had down the creepy factor.

both are good but johnny depp makes wonka more fun and he does it in a funny way. i love this movie. it is a really good one by tim burton.

Johnny Depp was great but he was alittle too creepy. Gene Wilder played Willy Wonka perfect!

Johnny Depp is perfect at everything. Love him. I love his creepiness and weirdness. And he is hotness personified. Any guy who looks good in a bob cut is... perfect. Johnny is smokin hot and perfect.

deppforever, LOL grow up. Sure I suck cos I have a different opinion to you, okay. And when did I say I was a Johnny Depp fan? Erm, I didn't. Last time I checked, this wasn't the Johnny Depp spot.

much better then the old one :D

whatever happens, Johnny Depp is the real Willy Wonka

I think Johnny`s performance has a lot more stuff that Gene Wilder`s. I think the Gene was funny, but Johnny is great and he is an expert in creppy characters...

He seemed to fit the book more than Wilder did. When I think of Willy Wonka I think of Depp's version. And this is coming from someone who's not a Johnny Depp fan and Liked Gene Wilder's version more. I just think Johnny Depp portrayed it better

I say Gene and Johnny both did extraordinary jobs of being Willy, so i liked them both!

Not saying I didn't like gene wilder's version of willy wonka but johnny depp's version is funnier and creepier and I love creepy stuff and he is erm... slightly hot :P anyways they both did great but I like johnny better :D

i like johnny act being willy wonka because he is more funnier than gene wilder...
well when he's getting weird in that movie it makes me laugh...
i wanna watch this movie again and again :p

JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
<3<3<3

obviously it's JOHNNY DEPP!

compared to johnny gene is in dirt and heck where in the 21st century people

I say Gene wilder and jonny Depp both did extraordinary jobs of being Wonka, so i liked them both.

i agree with clonedpickle

Of course,Johnny is better Willy Wonka,because he is Johnny,my love and life!!!!!!!

My mum would say Gene Wilder, but I say Johnny Depp because is classicly Funny. A Legend.

Gene Wilder And Johnny Depp

BY FAR

I love the JD WAY MUCH BETTER THAN EVER!!! BUT GW SUCKS WAY WORSE THAN THE 2 GUYS AUDITION AS THE JOHNNY DEPP'S WILLY WONKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer the Johnny deep on the new one on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thats better but i found the old one too watery in the factory the new one is much better that the man talks i like to read it on the story.

Johnny is freakin hot that I want to touch his hair <33333333333333333333333333333333333333­333­3

As much as I love Johnny Depp, I liked Gene Wilder's version more. JD's version was... well, a bit more wackier in my opinion. Gene Wilder's wonka was wacky but a more subtle wackiness, if you catch my drift. To me he just seemed like a mysterious inventor full of imagination (no pun intended). Also, I haven't the slightest idea how Wonka is in the book, so I'm just going by what I liked. However, what I liked about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is that Wonka has more of a backstory. You see how he became what he is, in the other one all that's known about his character is that he's a mysterious guy with a chocolate factory and not much else. I hope I made my point...

I profer the original Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
