Those two interchangeable pairs of eyebrows with faces that ‘starred’ in Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets. It could have been incredible with the source material and all that went into it getting made, but nope, not with those two. Wrong kinda movie for both of their…styles?
I literally thought they were supposed to be siblings for that whole movie. They both look related and they had whatever the polar opposite of chemistry is.
Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained. I don’t know if I can articulate exactly why he felt miscast, but every time they had a less recognizable actor on the screen I couldn’t help but wonder how they would look in the leading role, and every time I found myself wishing I was watching that movie instead.
Yeah I never felt that he was good at acting. It always seemed like he was playing a character who was acting, like RDJ in Tropic Thunder. He was the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
The way he ran as the flash was so weird. They said that they studied figure skaters or something but it just looked so weird. They should of asked grant Gustin for some pointers .
Matthew Broderick in the Lion King. How can James Earl Jones - The Lion, give birth to such a pissant little voice? How could the pride rally behind the trembling call of twinky soft-boy Broderick? Matthew can play the voice of the awkward teenager Simba that crosses the bridge in the Hakuna Matata song, and that’s IT.
It’s not perfect, but the biggest reason I refuse to watch the Les Mis movie again is because Russel Crowe cannot sing for shit; having him play Javert, a leading and powerful singing role, ruined what was otherwise a decent movie adaptation of a stage musical. It even had some really amazing casting choices, but that one absolutely ruined it for me.
He was so-so for me. Not great, not terrible either. Since he had so little to work with, they could’ve cast any other good actor and it wouldn’t have mattered. I was hoping he would bring something special though.
IMHO and I’ll probably get flamed for it, Zendaya was the weakest actor in the cast. She was ok (not bad), but when comparing to the rest of the cast, she was definitely outclassed.
Walken was fine for me. The emperor played a smaller role in the film anyway.
The real miscast and the only problem in what is quite possibly one of the best adaptations we will ever see: Brolin as Gurney and Momoa as Idaho. They had the right actors in the wrong roles. I just don’t understand how you could flip those two pivotal characters like that. I really don’t think Momoa will be able to pull of a good mentat in the 3rd film.
Have you ever seen Robin Williams movie One Hour Photo? It’s the polar opposite of a Robin Williams character, quiet and reserved, creepy but Inna sad way, it’s a good movie.
Benedict Cumberbatch in “Star Trek into Darkness”. Perfect movie? Not really, but the casting pretty much ruined the movie IMHO. It was supposed to be Benicio Del Toro. I have no idea why they couldn’t secure him for the role, but the backup plan was like a wet noodle.
For me, he was one of the only good things in that movie. It was a departure for Khan, but I thought he did well with the material. In saying that, I lost interest with the other movies since that one, even though I enjoyed it.
