NDX said:But the movie does not seem to house the most complicated of roles. Either a security guard or football player or... cheerleader. These were not Oscar roles (don't need to see the movie to know that).
I'm sure as fans of the character we don't want a bad actor to ruin him. I still feel Colin Farrell, albeit had the right accent for the character, was a horrible choice for Bullseye and just made scenes with him unbearable.
You bring up a valid point. But I also don't feel Farrell was physically right either. The problem with getting things right has plagued comic to film movies over the years. Sometimes to the point of being unbearable. Farrell as Bullseye is just one example of the wrong actor. Punisher to me was the right actor, wrong script. X-men got many things right and at the same time many thing wrong. The Hulk, well. And I'm not even gonna get into Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut. I guess that's what makes the ones that come closet so utterly enjoyable. The ones that closely blend the physical, acting, and script. Spiderman I and II. Batman Begins. Superman the Movie. Blade. The X-Men films for the most part. Sin City and other excellent graphic novel adaptations.
Here's to hoping that GR (and hopefully future sequels) has that blend.
