Not as bad as Teri Hatcher's boobs. Truly, stunningly ironic how real and NON spectacular they turned out to be.

Tom Noonan as the Tooth Fairy is much better in Manhunter, the better representation of the Red Dragon book. Kinda like Brian Cox better as Hannibal also in that movie.

This jogged my memory and I didn't see this mentioned:

Edward G. Robinson as Dathan in The Ten Commandments

He ended up doing a decent job being extremely unlikable but with his sort of typecast background the whole role with him was kind of silly.

Worst=Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. He's such a woke wimp in real life
Best=Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner, even though I don't like him his acting was still good in this role

Tom Hardy as Bane in the Dark Night Rises. Tom is a damn fine actor, just miscast here. You cannot put a man that already mumbles a log his dialogue with a speaking role through a mask. Bane is a huge menacing character and while Tom got seriously jacked for this role it still did not have the overall look of Bane. I'm not the biggest fan of the The Rock's acting chops, but I though he would have been great here. The build is there, and Rock is good with his facial expressions that you could have seen where the mask did not cover.

Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc in Knives Out.

I feel like that role was meant for Kevin Spacey.

not downvoting but Malkovich was awesome in that role, great movie all around in fact and holds up very well to the original with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr

Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth in XMen: Wolverine.

Other than stature,he didn't look anything like Sabretooth. Someone like HHH fits the archetype much better.

Movie was hot trash, but that's an excellent character who was utterly squandered.

I think he had a cigar in his mouth when he asked, "Where's your messiah now Moses?"



He probably did smell like a cigar.

You’re going to start with supergirl? Ezra Miller has no business playing canonical Barry Allen.

The entire Fan4stic cast.
