What most people get wrong is that Chalamet is based on Wilder's portrayal which was just based on making a movie out of it, whereas Depp's is exclusively based on the book and Burton's interpretation (to the point Burton avoided seeing the original movie before making his version).

Every Tim Burton directed movie with Depp is dark. Willy Wonka wasn't suppose to be dark, it was suppose to be a delightful experience, a lesson to be learned. Tim Burton turned Wonka into a Candy Frankenstein which scares little children. Roald Dahl wrote Wonka as a children's novel. Depp's Wonka is evil towards children and all the Oompa Loompas are dressed in Latex bondage suits. It's Edward Scissorhands with a bit of Wonka Eye Candy

I agree. Wilder was so multi-layered as Willy Wonka. It doesn't matter to me that the author of the book hated Wilder and Wilder's version. P. L. Travers hated all aspects of the Mary Poppins movie and yet I think that movie is amazing too. Wilder's Wonka was clever, crafty, mysterious, and artistic. I loved seeing the darkness underneath the bright whimsy of the movie also. To me, the Burton version didn't have any layers, or craftiness: It was just straight out told to you.

@isabellaandrews3077 5 ай бұрын

I think you may have misunderstood the message of Depp’s Wonka. The message of Depp’s Wonka is the importance of family and reuniting with family. One of the reasons Wonka became a deranged as he was in the Depp version is because of his resentment towards his father. Once he mended that resentment, he began to see the importance of family, and not only did he mend the relationship with his own father, but he also gained a family through Charlie’s family as well.

I don't really care which iterations is the best, all 3 performers are amazing. Wilders was a fun and instant classic Wonka to watch time and time again, his performance was unpredictably fun and zany Depps performance was dark and nervous and it matches in the film tone, despite his only one point in this ranking he still did a amazing performance. Chalamet's was a breath of fresh air, with his quirky and charming performance feeling like a actual young Willy Wonka. To be honest, Chalamet's Wonka is a mixture of both Wilders and Depps Wonkas adaptation both the character and the film itself. No matter what others would say, all 3 Wonkas are creatively memberable icon in fiction.

Timothy is perfect as a sweet and innocent young Wonka, before the sarcasm crept into his character. The sarcasm in Wilder's old Wonka is what I loved most about the original movie. Hugh Grant is by far the best Oompa lumpa though! 😄 Wonka was completely magical! I want to watch it again.

Charlie and the Chocolate factory's soundtrack isn't hard to follow imo. Danny Elfman brings his signature darker score which gives This Wonka more an air of mystery where the original film showed more a Whimsical and cheerful side. The songs in Willy Wonka are definitely memorable, 'Pure imagination' is Beautiful piece of music, but I like the Oompa Loompa tunes in the Charlie version a little bit more because One: they're funny and two: The utilization of different genres of music is refreshing instead of reusing the same tune. Gene's Wonka will always be an icon, However I feel Depp's version gets too much disdain. He's awkward, introverted around these people when he hasn't had any contact with Anyone outside of the Oompa Loompas in years, his response is pretty understanding in my opinion. I haven't seen 'Wonka' yet for a issue I have with the casting of Timonthy Chalamet as the titular character. He's probably good in his performance, I just never got onboard the fanbase he has.

Nostalgia aside, Johnny Depp nailed it, his acting in the movie gave that strange, weird and awkward vibe. OG is OG, but their will always be something which will be better than original.

To me, Chalamet Wonka had the best music. It captures that classic feel while still sounding new. “A World of Your Own” and “Sweet Tooth” are two of the best.

@crimsondrawz8653 5 ай бұрын

I believe Wilder does a great job as the older Wonka. Willy Wonka was what I grew up with and I will always love his portrayal. However I loved Timotheé as the younger Wonka. He brings the curiosity and innocence to the world a young Wonka would have. In my opinion, Wilder and Timotheé need to stand apart because their Wonkas are supposed to be different. They both have the perfect portrayals for the time their movies take place. Also LOVED Wonka. Go see it if you haven’t!

Wilder is the best and I miss him but I'm glad they chose Timothee Chalamet for the prequel because I think he's so damned good at what he does and he can only add to the Wonka lore

Gene Wilder is who I think when I think of Willy Wonka. The same way I think of Christopher Reeve when I think of Superman. Well, sometimes Henry Cavill in more modern times. But I do not think of Jonny Depp as Wonka. Johnny is Jack Sparrow.

For me is Gene Wilder, Tomothee Chalament and far behind the other two Johnny Depp. Wilder is the first and the original, and because of my memories as a child watching the movie it has tons of power in my ranking. Chalament did an amazing job he is funny, weird and caring which for me are the qualities of a good Wonka same as Wilder. All do I like Deep as an actor for me he goes extra heavy on the weird and forgets the funny and caring. That is my opinion and ranking.

I have to agree, timothee version had a lot of nostalgia imo. Also, it seems like ppl forget that this is a prequel, so timothee’s is the closest to how I would imagine the younger version of gene wilder’s wonka.

@lessismore8533 5 ай бұрын

I understand it’s your opinion. BUT another comment I read on here is that original book was NEVER as light hearted (at least in terms of Wonka attitude) as the 1971 film. Things were changed for Wilders version. So apparently Depps version was CLOSER to the book in that way. It’s ok to prefer a more light hearted Wonka BUT again Depp wasn’t inaccurate. Not enough ppl read the books

Johnny Depp was alright as Wonka, but we could have done without the unnecessary backstory of his opposing dentist father. The original book and film didn't delve into Wonka's background, as the focus was on Charlie, and was arguably all the better for it.

The Tim Burton & Johnny Depp version is the best in my opinion. For 1 it’s actually pretty close to the book & aesthetically pleasing to look at especially the chocolate room.

Gene Wilder is the best Wonka, Johnny Depp's Wonka was decent, despite he can be received more polarized response, gets very awkward and lost at times. I haven't seen the Timotée Chalamet yet, so i can't say anything about it yet.

I haven't seen Chalamet, but Wilder is the only Wonka for me. He was the perfect combination of heart, humour, danger, unpredictability and eccentricity. He embodies Roald Dahl's writing perfectly- the dark and scary moral core of traditional fairy tales, but with satisfying accountability for the bad characters and a happy ending for the good ones.

Maybe it is the nostalgia, because it was the version I grew up with, but for me Johnny Depp will be the best Wonka. I thought the other two were good, too, but as someone who has read the book, I feel like the Burton adaption is most fateful for the source material too.
