Fanboy Forum: 10 EXAMPLES OF ACTORS WHO SHOULD HAVE NEVER DONNED THE CAPE...FINALE!!!

Okay Fanboys and Fangirls, I have finally made it to then end of this particular rant. Saving the BEST ( or rather WORST) for last. Even though, the last two were pretty hard to beat! The final 2 are in this Fanboy's humble opinion possibly the most damaging to the franchisees in particular. AWFUL casting, Fanboy fueled arrogance and divinity and too much poetic license make the final 2 the nail in this Fanboy rant coffin.

I am all for non-traditional casting. (ie: Michael Clarke Duncan as the KINGPIN in Daredevil)

WHEN IT WORKS! Look at IRON MAN. Robert Downey Jr. is beyond perfect for the role of Tony Stark. I mean aside from being a technological genius, HE IS TONY STARK IN REALITY!!

He owned the role, did the character justice, and he paid homage to the people who he knew would be filling the seats, 3,4,5 times over.... THE FANBOYS, THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THESE TERRIBLE FILMS!

Number TWO: "Mr. Qui-Gon Sir...."
You were supposed to be the chosen one...it was said that you would defeat the sith .....

instead Jake Lloyd made the most inticipated Fanboy film of all time....into a suckfest...not all his faul tho, most of the blame goes to Papa George (George Lucas) who threatened us up with N'Sync being in the movie, adn cyrsed us with the ABOMINATION known only as Jar, Jar Binks.
Because he wanted to appeal to a wider audience, so to speak. he steered away from the original formula and tried to make it too cute, too "familiy friendly" or whatever I dunno, maybe he was hitting the bong or something...In Episode IV, all the comedy relief you had was CP3-0 and R2-D2, and the witty banter of Han Solo. AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEEDED!!!

Star Wats Episode IV "A New Hope" came out in 1977, and I saw it ten times at the theatre, twice at the drive-in.... I was a child, and this was the seventies!!! Kids didnt go to the movies every weekend like they do now....but for STAR WARS I did! My little sister was in LOVE with Mark Hamill, we both watched Empire Strikes Back,, every Sunday for THREE YEARS!! I read Return of The Jedi 5 times before I actually saw the movie. (yeah, I know, I have been a Fanboy for a looooooooong time) So again, the most anticipated Fanboy movie of all time......and you give us this??? aside from Jar Jar Binks (who I didnt see as racist, I just saw him as incredibly mindnummingly stupid!! and I wished someone would have blown his head off after hearing him talk for five minutes) Aside from the fact there was a wee bit too much CGI., and pulling a Highlander 2 and killing the mysticism and coolness of the Jedi by the revelation of where the FORCE come from. .these aspects could have been over looked but damn, the boy who would grow up to be Darth Vader, looks and sounds like Dennis the Menace. I dig that you wanna show the innocence of a child being twisted my pain and sorry, and fear, but Jake Lloyd is a terrible kid actor!!! He is like a poor man's Johnathan Lipnicky from Jerry McGwire. I can not believe that there were NO other child actors who could have played this role?? How about Haley Joel Osmet? He was still a kid, and could have made the role 1000% more believable..

Tthen you give us Hayden Christenson....

given the moniker "Mannequin Skywalker".....pretty much the Sci-Fi equivalent to Allen Payne (see Tyler Perry's TV show, House of Payne...on second thought, don't see it, it is a horible show), proving that not ALL Canadian actors, are good ones! He has a good look....but he and Dolph Lungren obviously went to the same acting school. I want to like Hayden, but especially in Episode III, Revenge of the Sith, his acting was....horrendous. Not a total Stinkfest mainly ,because of the special effects and Ewan McGreggor , Natalie Portman, and Liam Neeson.
I dunno,
I kinda feel bad because Jake Lloyd will most likely NOT EVER be able to get any kind of acting work outside of spoof comedies and possible Sci-Fi documentaries. Plus the legacy he leaves is not of the one who brought ballance to the Force, but the one who nearly destroyed the franchise with his inept acting ability..

I suppose we should be greatful the the prequels are not being made now or else we might have Justin Bieber as young Anakin Skywalker....although I can kinda see him becoming Darth Vader!

"you were supposed to be the chosen one!"

NUMBER ONE: "What are you?.....I'm the worst choice ever for BATMAN!"

Michael Keaton as BATMAN

Quite frankly one of the MAIN reasons I even started this blog. When Tim Burton's BATMAN came out and it was out that MR MOM/Beetlejuice was going to play Bruce Wayne/Batman.....

I honestly thought it was a joke...a bad, sick twisted joke. Okay, let us examine the character of BATMAN. Youbg Bruce watches his parents get brutally murdered by a two bit thug

(named Joe Chill....NOT JACK NAPIER..THE JOKER DID NOT KILL BATMAN'S PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) at which point he vowed to make sure no child would ever have to endure such pain, and bring those wrong doers to justice, wherever evil preys upon the innocent. So he trains his body and his mind, honed to perfection. Fronting the image of a spoiled Millionaire playboy, by day,

The crime fighting vigilante known as THE BATMAN is an over six foot, beyond Olympic level ATHLETE....ATHLETE.....ATHLETE......Michael Keaton....ATHELETE/Michael Keaton....Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture????
Michael Keaton is only about 5'5 and balding....and about as athletice as a bowl of ricotta cheese....okay maybe that was a bit extreme, but c'mon, anyone who is really a fan...(or even anyone who has sight) can see that this was THE MOST ABSURD CHOICE FOR THIS CHARACTER. THE BATMAN is not an everyman hero, not anyone, can be THE BATMAN! I have heard the argument that his BATMAN was one of the best, better than Val Kilmer, and better than George Clooney. NO!... Th film it self was a cinematice beauty, making Gotham City ver dark and Gothic, very comicbookesques, which is good, I LOVED that part of the film and I have NO arguments there.(even though after the first film, it went from Gothic to Las Vegas on acid).Michael Keaton as BATMAN is like Jean-Claude Van Damme as THE AMERICAN CHARACTER GUILE in The Street Fighter movie,

or like Edward Furlong in the last CROW installment.

( that is one I missed, belive me DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!. Very bad, very, very bad!) Keaton's BATMAN was just not believeable...and it sucked donley balls.

Val Kilmer's BATMAN and Bruce Wayne were were exactly the same, you could not tell the difference between the two,

and George Clooney IS Bruce Wayne in Reality, his BATMAN
just kinda sucked,bu that was not all his faul, most of that I blame on the doofus known as Joel Shoemacher. Bat-Nipples,and Bat-Butt shots, remember?

I was sooo disgusted with the first BATMAN film, I boycotted it, i did NOT see it at the theatre,and nearly waited a year before I actually saw it.

How about young Alec Baldwin?

(Beetlejuice, The Shadow) to play the role. He would have fit the part a HELL of a lot more than Keaton. He actually fits the part better! Hell i even heard rumor that a young Jeff Goldblum was even slated to play the raole at one point! Jack Nickelson's Joker and the Gothic nature of the scenery of the film.barely make this movie watchable.
Kevin Conroy,

the guy who des the voice of BATMAN/Bruce Wayne from Batman The Animated Series would even be a better fit for the movies! Adam West would have even been a better choice, and least HE is about the right height and is definately a PLAYBOY,
