As Cassian, yes... And I totally get that its a matter of opinion.
I loved Rogue One, just didn't care about most of the characters nor really liked most of the casting calls; with the exception of Felicity Jones, Mads Mikelson, and the guy who plays Crennic - they were all great.
While discussing bad casting and Star Wars Stories, Woody Harrelson? Really...?

Gena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight.
Oh my...
Almost single-handedly destroyed a salvageable script.
Almost...
Renny had something to do with it too.

Damn you. I'd forgotten that character was even in the film, and had made it to a point of remembering the movie more fondly for her absence. Now I'll have to wait to forget her all over again before the happy thoughts return.

Really? It's been a long time since I last saw it but I thoroughly enjoyed her in it when I did.
Who would have done it better, do you think?

Thankfully its a small role. But can't get the vision of her swinging her around ass around in circles in Charlie's Angels out of my head...

Personally, I loved the choice for that reason. I viewed the moment that he removed the mask as the moment we were supposed to go "holy #%*^ - that's a KID!"
Most people loved Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained but i didn't (i think he was okay). Originally Calvin Candie supposed to be an older man and i would agree (Leo is such a babyface
). Daniel Day-Lewis doing his Bill the butcher thing would have made awesome Calvin Candie (If only he hadn't done that role twice already).

I'm going to disagree.
Zardoz is so over the top that it makes it into the "so bad it's good" category. I might be in the minority but I enjoy Sean Connery in Zardoz.

Zardoz is so over the top I think you could have had just about any actor in that role and the movie would have turned out the same...
Oh, but Zardoz is sooo much better with Sean Connery. Remember that it's about a society that's become so soft all the men have lost their virility. In order to procreate, they need to bring in a hyper-masculine testosterone bag in the form of a hairy, brutal killer - namely Sean Connery ... thatis, Sean Connery wearing a bandolier and a diaper. C'mon that image is iconic.
The only others I could imagine in the role would be James Caan or Burt Reynolds.
Edit: I'm going to add Charles Bronson (this would have been his Hard Times era)..
