I think it's incredibly difficult to compare these films directly. While they're technically telling the same story, people are fond of one over the other for very different reason. Gene Wilder is obviously a big reason for the first, along with the intense sense of the mystery and the type of theater work and staging and set design and the special effects and make up / costume design in the first. This version, Johnny Depp does his own take, and it was meant for a totally different audience. It's much truer to the book, but the music especially is a turn of for some people (as is Depp) himself. I personally am fond of this Tim Burton version more, but that could very well just because I happened to live in a time where I read the book in school right before this film came out in theaters. I can totally respect the reasons why others prefer the "original" - but, like I originally said, I think that in some ways they're so different that it's unfair to compare them. I really appreciate you pointing out aspects you liked in this one vs the other without always making a blanket statement that one is better or worse in total.

2024-03-27 21:54:11 +0000 UTCThe original author did not like the first one due to a lot of changes they made, and he felt he did not have a voice about his work. But when they wanted to do a reboot, he had died, and his wife would not approve. In the end it was the scene at the end when Willy as at the dentist and Charlie Saw all of the newspaper clippings (Something his own family did) that convinced her to let Tim Burton start filming. She says Tim's is a better movie.

2022-01-05 06:20:40 +0000 UTCI love how so much in the book and movie gets littérale. expesaly the book, hehe. When I was little and saw the movie, I thougth Wonka was a wizard and that he made his fathers house move, like Harry made the glass vanish. Not entirely on purpose and that would explain that wonka's way of thinking made candy magic IRL. Cuz everyone is questioning his way of thinking and pointing it out. Your a wizard Willy

2022-01-04 02:38:24 +0000 UTCYeah I don't know about that chief. Better charlie sure but this willy wonka was amazing. He actually had character, unlike the old one. The old was good only out of purity and feel good stuff. But this had feel good things that were earned. Willy and his past, reuniting with his dad. His odd behavior felt real. Like it came from somewhere. Gene wilder portrayed someone that isn't real. Nice people like him are so far and few between.

2022-01-03 07:06:16 +0000 UTCTo me, this is a good movie despite Johnny Depp's performance, which should have been a highlight. I think both movies have the right titles: the 1971 version has much the better Willy Wonka, while the 2005 version has much the better Charlie.

It doesn't need to be December to enjoy a good Christmas movie. And there are still plenty of great Christmas movies that you have yet to see that there's no danger of you running out of great ones to watch next Christmas 🎄⛄
