The Worst and Best casting

[MiffaLadd]

What do you believe to be the best and worst castings from the X-Men movies?

I reckon Aaron Stanford was good as Pyro but didnt believe Vinnie Jones was a great Juggernaut

But that is just my opinion

 

[katie_girl09]

Best: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Kelsey Grammer, Ian McKellen, Taylor Kitsch

On the fence: Anna Paquin (I suspect that she was only a bad Rogue because of the way she was written), Vinnie Jones (he would have been good if they hadn't made him so stupid in the script, I think)

Worst: Halle Berry, Famke Janssen

 

[BobJM]

Famke as the worst? No way. Halle wasn't bad either except for in the 3rd, but everyone was bad in that.

Best: Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming

Worst: Ellen Page, President from X3

 

[TheMick]

Best: Patrick Steward, Famke Janssen, Hugh Jackmen, Ian McKellen

Worst: Halle Berry

 

[Hound55]

Best: Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Brian Cox, Kelsey Grammar, Famke Janssen, Alan Cumming

Not used well enough to judge as good: James Marsden

Inconsistant: Rebecca Romjin-Stamos

Piss poor: Halle Berry

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Best: Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Kelsey Grammar, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijin Stamos, James Marsden, Olivia Williams (she was PERFECT for Moira in the little bit she was given.) Ryan Reynolds (Mark my words when we get to the Deadpool part he will own.)

Alright, but definitely not perfect for the role: Anna Paquin (Her role as Sookie Stackhouse proves she could play Rogue perfectly if written correctly), Famke Janssen (did an admirable job, but I'm sure there is some one out there that can do better.), Hugh Jackman (Same as Famke.)

Worst: Vinnie Jones, Halle Berry (sadly just not superhero material.), Liev Schreiber, Shawn Ashmore (He was soooo boring as Iceman.), Dania Ramirez (I like Dania, but geez, that was a terrible version of Callisto.) Danny Huston (terrible recasting job.)

Indifferent (neither absolutely liked or absloutely hated) : Ben Foster, Ellen Page, Daniel Cudmore, Ray Park, Tyler Mane, Taylor Kitsch.

I did not like Famke. I thought she was way too old and too bland. Sorry. And Halle was terrible in all three.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Jean's a bland woman anyways.

 

[Electrix]

Dania Ramirez as Callisto, mainly for behind the scenes reasons. She signed a multi-movie deal with Fox and they put her in X3 to simply fulfil that contact.

She looks nothing like Callisto and they knew that.

 

[BobJM]

Jean's a bland woman anyways.

You bite your tongue!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I like the character really I do, but she's such a plain jane bore at times.

 

[Mad Ones]

Aw, I loved Famke as Jean. She's part of the reason that led to me being a Jean fan. I thought she looked fantastic (especially in X2) and I just really liked her acting.

I thought they did an all around good job casting, although I hated Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut.

 

[King of Hearts]

Best: Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, Liev Schreiber, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn Stamos, Taylor Kitsch

Worst: Anna Paquin nuff said

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Anyone who can list Taylor Kitsch in the best and Anna Paquin in the worst is out of their mind.

 

[Manic X]

Loved:
James Marsden, Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Taylor Kitch, Shawn Ashmore, Liev Shrieber, Rebecca Stamos

Was OK with:
Halle Barry, Alan Cumming, Aaron Stanford, Anna Paquin, Vinnie Jones, Ray Park, Ben Foster

Hated:
Daniel Cudmore, Tyler Mane

 

[WeaponXProject]

Best: Hugh in X-1, Patrick Stewart hands down, Ian McKellan strictly for his long monologues and acting ability, and Brian Cox in X-2 was phenomenal.

Worst: Anna Paquin as Rogue but it was more how they wrote the character, James Marsden as Cyclops but same as Rogue, Tyler Mane as Sabretoothe, Halle Berry's lack of confidence and strong woman qualities ruined her as Storm, hated Colossus, Vinnie Jones as Jugs, the kid that was Pyro and Shawn Ashmore.

Moderate: Hugh in X2 and X3 and XO: Wovlerine, Famke Jansen, Alan Cumming, Ellen Page (capable of much more).

 

[DMRadz]

Good: Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Kelsy Grammer, Ian McKellen, Allen Cumming, Ryn Reynolds

Better than OK but not good: Tyler Kitsch

OK: Tyler Maine, Rebberca Roman, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Famke Jensen

Bad: Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, the guy that played Angel, Colossus, Vinnie Jones, Callisto, Pyro

And your avatar shows how perfectly objective you are.

Anyway, Kitsch's Gambit hardly did anything. But from what I saw, he had potential. How can you hate him already?

 

[ALittlePush]

I think all the actors/actresses did reasonably well with what they had. Obviously some characters were more short-changed than others in terms of storyline. However, I don't think that's the actor's/actress's fault more of the writer's fault.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

They both got **** to do as characters. And at least you know Anna has proven she can actually y'know ACT outside of the X-Men films.

[Ziggyman]

Ian, Patrick, Hugh, Famke, Colossus, Liev, Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca, Brian Cox, Ellen Page...are the ones I liked!

Have you ever watched Friday Night Lights?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Have you ever watched Friday Night Lights?

Yep, Kitsch is nothing but a pretty face.

Yep, Kitsch is nothing but a pretty face.

And Anna Paquin isn't even a pretty face...
