Who played the better Willy Wonka?

[Titanic1912]

Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp?

For me, Gene Wilder was the better Willy Wonka! He was kind and funny! Johnny Depp was just creepy. And those Oompa Loompa’s in the original were better! Green hair and an orange face. Lol

Gene Wilder

Johnny Depp

The old oompa loompas were less creepy but the new oompad had better rhyme and rhythm. Johnny Depp is a goofy bastard and he was creepy but he was funnier and nicer than Gene. Gene was mean honestly. The best wonka tho would be…

I'm more familiar with Johnny Depp's work. He's really good at playing eccentric characters, so I'd have to give him the edge.

The original was best.
