Trank's cast since it doesn't have Jessica Alba.
Trank's cast since it doesn't have Jessica Alba.
Gruffud and Alba were bad. I don't think better writing would have saved them, really. Evans and Chiklis I think could have saved that cast with better material. I actually liked them for their parts, even with the poor material. As bad as Doom was, I am not sure how much I can blame Julian McMahon. I am not sold that he would have done much better with better material, but I'm not convinced he couldn't have either. He was also handed the worst role of the films.
Imagine for a moment there had been no advance notice and we were told: Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller will be playing the three male leads in FF.
Could any of us have even guessed which actor would be playing which part? I think that tells us something about the appropriateness of these actors for these roles.
These are three very distinct, very defined characters, but not from the point of view of this production. From Fox's point of view they're just three interchangable twenty-something male leads.
Gruffud was killed by bad writing and up to the minute changes of the script. He is an excellent actor and has proven it.

First movie she looked like the comic book, 2nd movie she looked like a mutant Sue up until they meet the Silver Surfer and then after that her make up was much softer.Story's cast minus Alba actually resembled the characters that the movie ended up not being about.

So they at least tried to make her look the part, and she looked as much the part of Sue as Evans looked the part of Johnny.
To me it was in the writing that made her come off as a ***** rather than the motherly influence that she was supposed to be.
Alba insisted on the wig in the second movie as the bleaching for the first film ruined her hair. But that was a horrible choice of wig,

I also agree the way she acts was stupid. I'm so selfish to get married, I'm going to let the world be destroyed. Also in trying to make her stronger, they made Reed totally ***** whipped. Contrast that to where in the comics he and Sue took opposite sides in the Marvel Civil war.
Yeah,I never had a problem with Gruffud.The biggest problem with those films was the script,not so much the cast.Doom/Cloudactis was the sore point to me.
