Home Run Casting Choices in Comic Book Movies

[davos]

Patrick Stewart as Prof. X 

 

Oldman as Gordon

 

Snipes as Blade

 

 

[Darth Biscuit]

I think they pretty much nailed the current Avengers cast, but esp RDJ as Stark/Ironman.

 

 

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like Bale as Batman.  Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever liked any of the actors to play Batman aside from Adam West.

 

 

Most of the X-Men cast was good esp Stewart and Mckellan.

Patrick Stewart is a wonderful Professor X.

Hugh Jackman is a terrific Wolverine.

Toby Mcguire was a great Spiderman and I think the new one is too pretty. Peter Parker is supposed to be a huge nerd.

I also think Bane was horrible. It's maybe why I hated the movie. I always imagine Bane as a 9 foot tall Goliath with tubes inserted into his skull.

I don't think there was any argument over Patrick Stewart. And he's embraced and loved the role

I'm glad I'm not the only one that admits liking McGuire as Spiderman.  I haven't seen the reboot so can't comment except that he does not look like the pasty, nerdy, skinny Peter Parker we know and love.

Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor (for the semi-campy original Superman).

 

The rumors going around with Bryan Cranston as the next Lex Luthor.....ahh, how I wish they were true.

 

I liked Hemsworth as Thor and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Oden was pretty spot on as well.

 

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor...

 

Jesse...Eisenberg... :wacko:

[dos poptarts]

Howard the Duck as Howard the duck.

 

 

I don't think Donald or Daffy could have pulled it off.

[PandaPancake]

Huey could have rocked it

Michael Jael White as spawn. yeah the movie didnt live up to the source material but i think he played the part wonderfully. I mean come on he more or less is a specter that uses powers given to him by hell. PG13 wont cut it.

Hugh Jackman as wolverine

Patrix Stewart as professor x

Agree on the j.k simmons as j jonah hameson

 

I hate the nolan batman movies, too realistic i want fantasy in my movie. only thing likeable about them is oldman as gordon. I much prefer the first 2 tim burton films.

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool minus the crappy directors choice of murdering the character in wolverine.

 

Completely agree, and one that I had forgotten.

 

That new clip is hysterical :lol:

The only likeable aspect to Nolan's films is Oldman? Wow, clearly your hate over Nolan's trilogy has blinded you from Ledger, Hardy, Bale, Eckhart, etc.

 

I personally don't get the love ledger recieves for his role as the joker. Don't get me wrong he is a great actor and i love him in other movies such as the knights tale. Perhaps i'm blinded by the 1990s batman animated series and the arkham games, for me the peak of all thing batman related. So i'm used to mark hamill doing the voice, plus that batshit crazyness of how he is potrayed in the comic. That overthe top joker wasn't portrayed to me. It was a lame more realistic tone down version.  To me bane is an intellectual who also has a tank on his back that inserts venom into his blood stream that makes him as big as the hulk and powerful. The one we got in the movie wasn't that bane to me.  Eckhart as two face didnt do anything for me either. Doesn't two face have a split personallity, and his good and bad side fight back and forth, hence the use of the coin? To see which peronsallity type wins over in the situation?  It wasn't the same as the comic. Felt rushed.

 

Bale? Sorry but i couldn't relate to him at as his portrayal of bruce. Infact bruce wayne in the movies was boring, but to be fair bruce has always been a stale character. I believe marvel does a better job with characters alter ego. After all its not the suit or the powers, its the person in the suit that matters. I also hate the voice he did as batman, could barely make out what he was saying most of the time. Horrible and was not needed.  I prefer michael keaton as batman/bruce.

 

I like my comic book movies to stick to the fantasy of the comics. I don't like the super realistic take. Takes away from what makes the comics so great in the first place.
