I like the remade version better then the orginal. 

I loved it!  It was one of my favorite books as a child, Johnny Depp is sexier than anything, and I thought it was well done.

Since last reading this thread I have now seen the movie concerned, and I enjoyed it.

I bought the DVD, watched it, loved it, but then sold it LOL

It really was a good movie.  I was quite surprised at just how much I enjoyed it! :)

I hated it... the original is far superior.  Much darker.  Johnny Depp is basically just doing his standard "wacky Johnny Depp" character.  The computer generated effects looked fake too, the boat ride was just pathetic looking.

Nothing beats the original.  That wasn't a movie that I felt shouldn't have been re-made.  I didn't hate it.  I watched it in the theaters and even purchased the DVD but I have yet to play it.

I wonder if they would ever do a remake of The Wizard of Oz?

"Why Gene Wilder hated the Willy Wonka remake"

I really don't get about how a lot of people hate the 2005 remake so much. I know that most of them grew up with the 1971 original, but it just seems extremely overrated to start with. For one thing, I just dislike the premise of the 1971 version. Why couldn't Roald Dahl could advise these people onto what made his book a success? It would've been great. To me, the 2005 remake was indeed better than the 1971 original. I liked of how Johnny Depp played Wonka, even though his role is a bit controversial to some.

I just think people hate the remake because of how they stuck so much with the 1971 original, even though they probably have kids who maybe liked the 2005 remake better. Maybe it's just me, since I grew up with the 2005 remake. I liked of how I could recognize better with the remake, since it was released when I was only a kid. With these people who were probably 70s, 80s, and 90s kids, they just think that Gene Wilder is their Jesus or something. I may be an ass towards people who grew up with the original. However, I think they're an ass to me, since they tend to think that the 1971 original is better as a fact. It's just one thing that pisses me off ever since I heard that these people hated the 2005 remake. Just why though?

I did not like Johnny Depp's performance in this movie. As other reviewers have mentioned, he acts and looks too much like Michael Jackson.

The ending of the original version, where Wonka says Charlie and his family can live in the factory, comes across as warm and fatherly due to Wilder's performance. But the ending of the remake, where Depp's Wonka says Charlie can live in the factory if he DOESN'T bring his family, comes across as cold and pedo-ish. :P Then we get this subplot about Wonka's father which not only feels tacked-on, but also messes with the book.

Really, the only thing I liked about this remake is the visual style.

I was not impressed with the remake with Johnny Depp, I find it hard to find a film I like him in. So far that has only been "Donnie Brasco". As for CatCF, it was one of those films I was would end much sooner.
