1.  rosettaresearch (847) | 6 months ago |  I prefer the 1971 version. The 2005 film just messed things up too much. they gave Charlie a Dad and the grandparents were not in bed. That was kinda a basic fact that explained Charlie's poverty. Plus, I had to change the chanel after Willie Wonka set the clock figures on fire. Willie Wonka is eccentric, not sick.
In the book he is just weird. I actually prefer the 1971 movie over the book. Roald Dahl was just a very strange man.

Have you read the book.
The first film was nearest to the book but at the time of the making lack the special effects to do the flying elevator. | |

3.  Xdrowninghavocx (3059) | 4 months ago |  I don't think the two should be compared. Their both really great films from very different points of view. The older one is great because I saw it as being way more lighthearted. Plus the new one is based on the book. And I think I prefer the old one's storyline more.

| 4. poisonivy27 (59) | 3 weeks ago |  Hi Al_bobid!
I haven't read the book but I did watch both versions. I personally liked the 1971 version, it showed a very simple yet poignant representation on how the simple pleasure of a chocolate bar was regarded as a luxury to someone poor. Even back then when they didn't have all those computer technologies the movie was able to create a real believable fantasy place. I remember how I felt when I first saw the movie, I was like Gosh I want one of those giant gummy bears**drool**! Aside from that I just loved the original oompa loompas they were really talented. The movie overall was very charming and fed your inner child's wildest fantasies.
The 2005 version was also good but it did not come even close to the original one. This version had a bit of an eerie touch, Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka was a bit like a loose nutcase, watching the movie made me feel like I was watching some kind of thriller movie. Especially when the kids were taken by those creepy oompa loompas (which I just learned was only one guy who was multiplied by computer magic). lol. This version was a more mature twist than the original.
