Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King
![]() While not as good as its predecessor, Blade II, Blade Trinity was a decently good flick, and a lot of that has to do with Hannibal King. I don't think I've laughed harder than when he said "do you have a cell phone?" in recent times. ![]()
John Leguizamo as the Clown
![]() Pretty much the same reasons as Hannibal King apply here. While they could never get away with doing a Clown as vulgar as in the comics, they did a pretty damn great job casting the former Luigi as the small fat man with the demonic gecko inside of him. ![]()
Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin
![]() This actor is just a genius. He knows how to play dual personalities very well and just makes everything better. They've done a good with most of the characters in the Spiderman movies (including Dock Ock, Aunt May, Sandman, and Venom, but NOT Spiderman), but Dafoe certainly stands out. ![]()
Ian McKellen as Magneto
![]() For someone at his age, he certainly is amazingly bad ass in everything he does. From the gray wizard Gandalf to the mutant terror Magneto, he is not someone to mess with, and since he doesn't appear that intimidating, that's very impressive. That's all acting. Great actor, perfect for the role. I'd follow him to Genosha any day. ![]()
Ron Pearlman as Hellboy
![]() Ron Pearlman IS Hellboy. Enough said. ![]()
Michael Chiklis as The Thing
![]() Definitely a hard character to do. One that has to have just the right amounts of emotion and bad-assitude. He is pulled off nicely. Great choice for this role. I've never seen a hulking rock man that felt so believable. ![]()
Patrick Stewart as Xavier
![]() When I first saw him in the wheel chair, my first thought was not "hey it's Patrick Stewart" it was "that's Xavier." He looks and acts just like him. Perfect for the role. ![]()
Kelcey Grammar as Beast
![]() It's hard to play a character that is both intimidating and a genius, and Kelcey Grammar is a perfect choice. He sounds just the big blue furball should every time he speaks, and is able scare the crap out of you just by showing his teeth. Good job. ![]()
The cast of Sin City
![]() Marv stands out in my mind, but everyone did a fantastic job in this movie. There wasn't a single character that felt weird. It felt like watching the comic book. ![]()
JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson
![]() I swear they channeled the character himself when they cast this. His delivery is amazing, and he looks just like the character. I laughed so hard when he said "I've got it! Dr Strange! ...but it's taken." |
