[redhawk23]

Reloaded and Revolutions buddy...

By that logic we can also then include Indiana Jones and Darth Vader and Hannibal Lector and.. the list goes on

 

[Ziggyman]

By that logic we can also then include Indiana Jones and Darth Vader and Hannibal Lector and.. the list goes on

But why would you...

Indy 4 sucked and Indy himself was nothing special in the movie...Darth was in Ep 3. for 5 minutes...and no Hannibal movie matches Lambs...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell: Moon)

President Nixon (Fran Langella: Frost / Nixon)

Tony Stark (Robert Downy Jr. : Iron Man)

Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale: Batman Begins/The Dark Knight)

The Joker (Heath Ledger: The Dark Knight)

Entire Stark Trek 2009 Cast, especially: Karl Urban as Bones, Zachary Quinto as Spock and, Simon Pegg as Scotty.

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire : Spider-Man 1, 2, & 3)

Paul Smecker (William Dafoe: The Boondock Saints)

Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood: Gran Torino)

Well vader was vader even without the suit but thats a whole nother arguement

and the other 2 matrix movies are generally considered to be subpar as compared to the first Matrix. Thats what I meant by following the same path of logic, they are defining characters from other decades that suffered from diminishing returns in this one.

 

[kedrell]

I'd agree on Cap. Jack, Tony Stark, Joker, Harry Potter.

From LOTR it'd be hard to nail down one character, but probably Gandalf.

Peter Parker for sure and maybe Bruce Wayne.

Jason Bourne I could maybe see. After that it gets more tricky.

Since Neo started in the prior decade I don't feel so inclined to include him.

Wolverine possibly I guess.

Maybe Optimus Prime(ugh!) as well.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Jason Bourne was good, I was actually split between him and Bruce Wayne.

 

[Schlosser85]

Heath Ledger as The Joker

Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) in Inglourious Basterds

After that, I don't know.

I guess you could make a case for Jason Bourne. He's certainly one of the best recent action heroes.

Maybe Gollum, maybe Harry Potter

 

[kedrell]

Oh yes Gollum. How could I forget! I'd put him above Gandalf as the most memorable LOTR character.

 

[Schlosser85]

^ Gollum, to me, is without a doubt the best LOTR character, and the best CGI character so far

 

[[A]]

Sarah Palin

What movie was she in..?

 

[Franklin Richards]

Monster's Ball

 

[Drizzle]

Here's my list, in no real particular order:

1. Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl)
2. Gollum (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)
3. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
4. Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
5. Kirk Lazarus/Sgt. Lincoln Osiris (Tropic Thunder)
6. Rorschach/Walter Kovacs (Watchmen)
7. Jason Bourne (The Bourne Identity)
8. Ron Burgundy (Anchorman)
9. Wall-E (Wall-E)
10. Optimus Prime (Transformers)

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

Harry Potter
Spider-Man
The Joker
Darth Vader
Randall
Dante
Jay
Silent Bob
Venom
The Guys from Pineapple express

 

[Octoberist]

let's not include Darth Vader. i think you mean Anakin Skywalker. Even then, it's not an overwhelming consensus that he was a pop culture icon that Jack Sparrow was.
