SOMEONE ELSE Could've Played Him / Her, Better!!

Post Reply New Topic

I was watching a movie this weekend, and got the idea for a counter-thread, to my "NO ONE Could Have Played Him / Her Better"----so, here's my first entry:

"Lucinda", played by Vivaca A. Fox, in "Ella Enchanted" was pretty bad. I hate to keep "nominating" Meryl Streep, for everything, but that role needed someone like her, in that they can play ANYTHING----Vivaca A. Fox is NOT that kind of actress; she had intonation, but not feeling.

If you can, please also post whom you feel would've done a better job, in whatever move / TV show.

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. However someone else DID play him better afterwards: Mark Ruffalo.

The cast of the Twilight series. (Never saw them, but that is what I understand. I don't know who could have done better.)

Kevin Costner as Robin Hood in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. At the very least, somebody who CAN speak with a British accent.

George Clooney or Russell Crowe as Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.

{Don't get me wrong, Tom Hanks is still a great actor, but the studio also should have gotten a better director instead of Ron Howard.}

I just saw "The Last Witch Hunter". It would have been a decent movie if Vin Diesel hadn't completely sucked in the lead role. It needed someone who could convey vulnerability as well as strength. Liam Neeson, maybe, or Keanu Reeves.
