Well, the original one was a lot better musically, and I think that Gene Wilder was a bit better of a Willy Wonka. I mean, Johnny Depp is a good actor, as I could barely tell it was him, (and I probably wouldn't have been able to tell if it wasn't announced that he played Willy Wonka in every freaking trailer for it) but It didn't seem as original to me, having seen the original a bunch of times (I actually own the original at home for the good ol' VHS system! XD). I think the new one was a little too bizzare, although it did seem like Tim Burton tried really hard to make the new one as close to the book as possible, but at least he did well in that regard. (he even had those squirrels trained to crack the walnuts when he could have used special effects!) Although, I still think the old one beats the new one.
I'm in the same vote!
They're both good movies but the original is still the classic.
Tim Burton's Willy Wonka is just far too weired for my liking.
