Gene Wilder. Johnny Depp's was a little too weird for my taste.

I agree. Jonny Depp was funny, but he was quite weird. and he looked like a girl! I have to go with the original.

I told the director that I would do it, but only if when I first come out I am hobbling on a caine and then all of a sudden I stumble, do a cartwheel, and come back up spreading my arms to the crowd. He asked me why and I said because then the audience will not know if I am lieing or telling the truth from that point on.--Gene Wilder

This is actually a tough one for me, but I'll go with Wilder. I enjoyed the quirkiness of Depp, but he just couldn't beat the original.

I'm going with Wilder, but only because the original is a classic. I actually enjoyed the new version, as well as Depp's portrayal, quite a bit. I think this is because of how different it was from the original. After all, what's the point in remaking a movie if you're not going to make it different.

Because there are no story-book romances, no fairy-tale endings. So before you run out and change the world, ask yourself, "What do you really want?"
Because life... is not a movie. Everyone lies. Good guys lose. And love... does not conquer all.

I loved the original so much that I was very wary about the remake, but I think the remake is far better than the original and Depp is definitely the better Wonka.

I voted for Wilder because he was more of my idea of who Willy Wonka should be.
That being said, I did not like the original version and much preferred the Depp one, but that isn't the question the poll asks.

I love Depp...but it is weird. Sometimes I thought he was going to kill one of those kids with a cane sword or something. 
Wilder was better. Maybe I am biased because it is the original, but yeah.

Very hard question once I stop to think about it but when I read the title I immediately thought "the original" so that's the one I pick.

I didn't enjoy Depp's Michael Jackson-esque Willy Wonka.

I didn't see the original film, but I really liked Depp's Wonka, so I voted for him.
