Better Than Wilder's

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2005)

I have seen this movie, and I must say that this movie is FAR better that Gene Wilder's film. He was just right for 1971, but he seemed relatively boring. My sister, Colette, says "nothing beats the Original". I beg to differ with her. She was born in 1964, and I was born in 1980. Of course she would like the original. While it is true that I was born closer to Gene Wilder's film, I love Johnny Depp's film much better. I cannot wait until it comes out on DVD, and I am talking about its release already. If someone asked my opinion about whose film was better, I would say Johnny Depp. He is by far better than Wilder. I read a comment on a website from Wilder about Johnny Depp's film, and he was angry, and disappointed. He said:" Why would anyone remake Willy Wonka? It's all about money". I'm so sorry, but Gene Wilder has to lighten up. Johnny Depp's performance of Willy Wonka is extremely well done, and he and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", gets 10 stars, and two thumbs up from me. The new film far surpasses that than Wilder's.
