Great movies almost wrecked by co-stars.

[Wes R]

Hugo Weaving as Elrond in the Lord of the Rings.

I don't know why he just seemed so out of place cast as Elrond. I couldn't get the image of Agent Smith from the Matrix out of my head.


I'd also add Christian Bale doing Batman's voice. I always cringe. He makes a great Bruce Wayne, but I personally find when he is in costume doing the Batman voice it is embarrissing

Christian Bale in general hurts a movie, T salvation might have been salvageable if not for him. I'd love to hire Kevin Conroy to dub all of Bale's Batman lines with his batman voice :lol

 

[Clutch]

Paul Reiser does make me cringe every time I hear him speak in ALIENS.

 

[Probe Droid]

Kirsten Dunst in the Spidey films. Oy!

 

[wannab]

I thought it was great casting. Reiser was the harmless seeming guy no one suspected of being evil, and then when he turns around as the corporate ******* and tried to implant Ripley and Newt (but who wouldn't want to implant Ripley?) and when he bailed on the Colonial Marines and ran face first into a warrior. Meanwhile, Ash was setup as maybe being the bad guy from the previous issues with the synthetics, and the way he was studying the facehuggers, but turns out he saves both Ripley and Newt from the platform just to get spiked by the *****.

The character as written was fine, the actor himself was a horrible choice.

Kirsten Dunst in the Spidey films. Oy!

Totally agree!

 

[terryr]

Rob Schneider in Judge Dredd!

The movie starts. Nice Sets. Stallone seems to be doing a good job. Then Rob Schneider appears. Major Cringe of Hatred. Oh well, he'll just be there a few minutes, says I.

HA!

Ever time he appeared he destroyed that movie.

 

[WarPig]

Conan's ******* sidekick in Conan the Destroyer.

WHAT?? No love for Andy Richter? oh - That Conan :lol

 

[Zombie_61]

Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom.

I blame Spielberg and the writers for that; Capshaw just gave them the performance they wanted. But, yeah, Willie Scott ruins the movie for me every time, and it's my least favorite of the Indiana Jones quadrilogy.

YES! Its almost as if you have to look away from the screen and cover your ears.....car crash!

Black Hawk Down Bana was the shiz-nit. Other than that, I'm with ya.

So you guys haven't seen Chopper?

It's the movie that got him his start in BHD.

If you guys haven't seen it I highly suggest it. Even if you're not Bana fans.

Agreed. Capshaw is fine, it's the writing of her character that is awful. The whole script is weak.

 

[Wes R]

I agree, let's not forget how annoying Shortround is in the entire movie too.

 

[JasonofTigerclaw]

bill paxton in aliens.

game over man!!!!!!!

 

[Wes R]

John connor in t2 and the wimpified T800.

O.k...Chopper, Black Hawk Down. Thanks for the recommendations, guys!:thumbsup

 

[Probe Droid]

Thank the maker someone else feels this way. That character is ridiculous. Indy's life is threatened on a regular basis, and he kills people wherever he goes, so, yeah, he'll bring a little kid along for the fun. Again, nothing against the actor, but Shortround is an unbelievably bad idea. "You call him Dr Jones, doll." Oy! The Jar-Jar of the Indy flms.

I find kids in movies obnoxious 99% of the time and he for sure was thanks to that writing. I would laugh if they brought him back in the next indy movie all grown up.

 

[LoveofCountry]

Sharlto Copley in District 9. NEVER have I enjoyed a movie so much despite absolutely loathing the star of the film. I feel like his CG alien-self evokes more conviction in the last few moments of the film than he does the previous 130 minutes.

Totally agree!

AND she wasn't even hot in the last 2 movies! atleast in the first one she looked pretty good with that vibrant red hair and some curves...she looked anorexic in 2 and 3.

 

[rocket20]

Conan's ******* sidekick in Conan the Destroyer.

Andy Richter? :lol

Probably will be a very unpopular response, but I'm going with Natalie Portman in Thor. I would have preferred someone else.

 

[terryr]

I agree about Natalie Portman. She didn't wreck it, but it was a poor performance. She's a research scientist, but then gushes like a school girl whenever Thor is near.
She acted more grown-up in Leon, when she was 12.
