Halle Berry was a horrible choice for Storm in the X-Films. Although she has a nice look for Storm, her acting skills were all wrong.
She read X-Men comics before filming, she KNOWS that Storm is a tough, radiant, athletic, commander, yet she failed to convey any of those qualities.
The one and only quality of Storm Halle was able to convey well was her gentleness and serenity. Uh... There is more to Storm than softness. She is majestic, loud, graceful, and confident.
Now, I know part of Storm's crummy depictions in the X-Films was thanks to Bryan Singer, but what about the Last Stand with Brett Ratner? In X3, Storm's character was more talkative, more prominent, more aggressive, more physical, more stormy! yet Halle still presented her being weak, soft, and boring. Personally, I even thought she looked rather disoriented in many scenes.
What's with her child-like voice? I'm sure a team leader would speak with a more confident tone of voice than the timid little girly voice delivered by Halle in all 3 films. Same thing with her enthusiasm. Did you guys feel Halle actually got into her role? I thought she looked bored in every film, seriously.
What we need is a new Storm actress; one who can have a believable superhero attitude and athleticism. One who can convey a goddess better.
Agree or disagree, and why?
