January 28, 20205 yr Name roles that were fucked by bad casting or roles that hit the mark. Who would you have casted? Zach Levi as Shazam was terrible. Eli Roth would have been better. Jason Mamoa was perfect as Aquaman.

January 28, 20205 yr the devil's advocate was still good, but keanu reeves was awful in it. pretty much anyone else would have made it better.
January 28, 20205 yr I might get some shit for this but still ranks as one of the (imho) worst casting jobs ever John Travolta as Bud. “Well that depends on what you think a real cowboy is.” Sweater god I can still hear Brooklyn in there. Edited January 28, 20205 yr by Shaddie
January 29, 20205 yr 22 minutes ago, RPM said: The entire cast of Justified was perfect. Binged that 5-6 months ago and really enjoyed it.
January 29, 20205 yr Most of the MCU casting was perfect, but Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans were 100% perfect, and I think the MCU fails without them.
January 29, 20205 yr 53 minutes ago, lemonandaturd said: Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher was pretty bad. Agreed, but Cruise fans point out that the Jack Reacher movies might not have happened without Cruise, so it's a Catch-22 situation.
January 29, 20205 yr Lou Diamond Phillips as Henry Standing Bear. It sounded like Cruise-as-Reacher horrible. He was perfect as far as the shows were written.
January 29, 20205 yr Hits: Alan Rickman as Snape. Owned every scene. Michael K Williams as Omar. Idris Elba as Stringer Bell. Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Heath Ledger as Joker. Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine.
January 29, 20205 yr Worst:John Wayne as the Roman sentry in one of the Bible films. His one line was something like, “Clearly, this man was the son of God” in his famous western movie accent.Bruce Dern as Tom Buchanan. He was tall and lanky. Not even close to being “hulking” as Daisy described him.

January 29, 20205 yr Miss: Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Edited January 29, 20205 yr by billfromlaketravis

January 29, 20205 yr Ones I think that I don’t always see on these sorts of lists. misses: Christoph Waltz in the Bond movie. Channing Tatum in Hateful 8. Eli Roth as the Bear Jew. John C Reilly in Gangs of NY. Cameron Diaz too. The guy who played Desh in the Bourne movie was about as boring as you could play a super assassin.

The Bear Jew was such a bizarre fucking character. Who might you suggest? Ron Jeremy?
January 29, 20205 yr Hit: Firefly/Serenity. It took a bit to warm up to Simon and River, but now I couldn't see anyone else playing them.
January 29, 20205 yr HIT Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho Matthew McConaughey as Wooderson. Him as Killer Joe not so much. Clark Gable as Rhett Butler
January 29, 20205 yr Hits Misses Russian anything... former football stud as anything athletic, Sporto...

Actually, the whole cast of no country for old men was awesome all the way down to the Gaelic wife or whatever she is that they cast as a West Texas gal, and the old man Tommy Lee Jones commiserates with at the end of the movie about the passage of time.
