More or less in order, off the top of my head;

[The Technomancer]

Bah, bottom of page
So here's one I'm surprised no-one's mentioned yet:

Patrick Walburton as The Tick

[Salvor.Hardin]

Did you watch the last two Hulk movies? Do you read the comics/know what Banner is like? If not, I guess it wouldn't matter, but I think he's really perfect for it. Best casting in the MCU since RDJ imo.

Yes, I've read quite a lot of The Incredible Hulk, and I've seen the last two movies. Ruffalo came off kind of like he was half crazy. And I suppose that made for a few funny moments. And perhaps The Avengers was far too light hearted to actually portray the comic version, but comic Banner is a guy that is constantly fighting a dramatic emotional battle within himself. I didn't see that in Ruffalo at all, and sure that can be explained by his ability to now control the Hulk, but that takes away the most interesting part of the character, and does away with his trademark personality disorders, leaving just Ruffalo being Mark Ruffalo the scientist.

[Ignatz Mouse]

Couldn't disagree more. Tobey's Spider-Man was an over emotional sap. In fact, the triumvirate of Spider-Man, MJ and Harry were all miscast. Spider-Man is a jackass. His mouth is just as dangerous as his powers are. Tobey did none of that, and he played the role way too seriously. MJ was even worse. I've always considered MJ a super hero too. Her power is being hot as hell. Kirsten Dunst couldn't have been more of an opposite sentiment. Harry was okay, but Harry being better looking than Petey kinda defeats the entire idea.

As an interpretation of Ditko Peter Parker, he was great. He played just like those early comics read.

Really? I thought Ruffalo came off as a very strong Banner precicely because of how he seemed like he was struggling with himself, or rather how very clear it was that "here is a person who always has to be very...very...nice and he has to be slow, and he has to smile all the time and above all he can't let himself get annoyed or raise his voice"

[DoubleTap]

Thought he did great job and the movie needs to get made.

[LakeEarth]

Speaking of RR, what is your opinion on actors playing multiple comic book characters? Reynolds (Lantern, Deadpool, the guy from Blade 3), Chris Evans (Captain America, Johnny Storm, that guy from Scott Pilgrim, yes that counts).

[Salvor.Hardin]

As an interpretation of Ditko Peter Parker, he was great. He played just like those early comics read.

Ditko's Parker was a smart ass and often unlikeable. Maguire, while I found him to be quite endearing, I also thought of him as a goof and my affection for him grew out of his awkward social ineptitude rather than anything else. Which isn't entirely his fault - it's the script he got.

In fact, it's one of the main differences between the comics and the Raimi movies - Ditko's Parker had a tough social life because he was trying to spend time taking care of his uncle and aunt while trying to get a scholarship and spend time as Spidey. We'd get a sad monologue every issue about his responsibilities and how he could be normal and enjoy a decent life had he been more relaxed. Girls would often flirt with him, and he'd even throw a few insults towards Flash, such that they would go over his head, but never escape the understanding of the avid reader.

Peter Maguire on the other hand didn't have a choice. He had no social life because he was uninteresting as a person. His uncle and aunt were taking care of him rather than the other way around. He was even stripped off of his active interest in science. His friendship with Harry was completely unexplained. He let the robber go not because his ego was getting the better of him, but simply because he was fucked over.

If they can pull it off like Evans, I don't see the problem. His character was the best in FF and he was convincing as Cap. OTOH, I'm not so convinced about Reynolds. I can't remember his performance as Deadpool in Wolverine movie and his Green Lantern was so annoying.

[Solo]

Gotta go with the obvious choice, RDJ as Stark.

[Mikasangelos]

put on the boat for I like every casting for all Characters except.

Halle as Catwoman
Tobey as Spiderman

Well, you aren't wrong-- I guess I just liked the charm.

I mean, it's a lot less radical change than RDJ making Tony an endearing spazzy geek prankster type.

[Platy]

Bah, bottom of page So here's one I'm surprised no-one's mentioned yet: Patrick Walburton as The Tick

Nobody mentioned because nobody remembers the tv series .... I loved it and didn't remembered =/

Thought he did great job and the movie needs to get made.

The before weapon whatever part was really good ... but i would have to disagree with him doing a good job because i think that he didn't do any job .... the dude IS like that xD

[Jokergrin]

easy choice

pretty much stepped right out of the comicbook

[kunonabi]

Christopher Reeve - Superman
Brandon Lee - Eric Draven

Michael Keaton - Batman
Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman
Only incarnation of Catwoman I actually like
Chris Evans - Captain America
Willem Dafoe - Green Goblin
A real shame they stuck him in that awful suit when he has the perfect Goblin face
Aaron Eckart - Two Face
same as Catwoman for me. I always thought he was a great concept they never did any anything worthwhile with him until TDK. As great as Ledger was I came out of the theatre talking about Two-Face.

And of course:



Thomas Jane - Punisher

[Zeliard]

Probably the biggest waste ever.

[AbsoluteZero]

Most of the obvious one's have been mentioned multiple times over, but I'll add that I was mighty impressed with Chris Evans' portrayal of Cap/Steve Rogers in the Avengers.

He gave off a real aura of honor and dignity.

[Mikasangelos]

And of course: Thomas Jane - Punisher

yes!

[Zeliard]

I'm gonna go with Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian in Watchmen:



Loved that performance so much. He was perfect.

[Salvor.Hardin]

Good choice. Matthew Goode on the other hand almost single handedly ruined the film for me.

[XiaNaphryz]

To compare (view image directly for full 2K image):

[FairyD]

Ian McKellan as Magneto Heath Ledger as Joker J. K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson and All of them.

I just noticed, but how does Hulk come into the scene? He just magically appears out of no where.

[Hawkian]

Hot damn that is impressive work.

That gif started after it already passed Hulk.

[Zeliard]

Agreed. That picture is a nice juxtaposition of impeccable casting and terrible miscasting.

[FairyD]

edit: bah never mind, I just think it's lazy editing.

[XiaNaphryz]

edit: bah never mind, I just think it's lazy editing.

The full shot actually starts with Hulk in frame. You can see it in one of the later trailers.

[Forsaken82]

Patrick as Professor X - To me no one will ever reach how perfect they fit a roile as he did Pro X..

I totally agree with this... from the first time I watched Star Trek: TNG, the first thing I thought of was this is Professor X!

[Sentry]

To compare (view image directly for full 2K image):

It certainly is uncanny. Perfect.

easy choice pretty much stepped right out of the comicbook

:lol :lol :lol

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Murderous Keaton Batman is the best Batman.
Jackman is great as Wolverine.
Patrick Stewart was born to be Professor X
Heath Ledger was great as the Joker
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man

[Oxirane]

No Love for the Archie TV Movie

Can't decide if they are the best or the worst.

[Bleepey]

A friend of mine saw this clip of Karl Urban's potential Judge Dredd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elmeQVFKe8c

He was clapping but it might have been fapping from the way he nerdgasmed over this small clip.

I'M BATMAN

[Solstice]

I'm kidding. I promise, I'm just kidding


I can agree with pretty much the entire cast of the Avengers. RDJ is the perfect choice for Tony Stark, Chris Hemsworth really wowed me as Thor, Tom Hiddleston was an amazing Loki, Mark Ruffalo was the biggest surprise in the world as I had been scorned by past iterations of Bruce Banner, and Chris Evans was damn good as Captain America.

Bravo Marvel Paramount (now Disney). Bravo.

Is the Hoff tap dancing in that pic?

And like everyone else I really like RDJ as Stark J.K. Simmons as JJJ. The biggest surprise for me was Chris Hemsworth as Thor. I did not expect him to be as good as he was/is.

My thoughts exactly. I couldn't believe it when I found out he also played George Kirk in trhe '09 Star Trek

[The Boat]

So here's one I'm surprised no-one's mentioned yet: Patrick Walburton as The Tick

I didn't know this existed! I need to watch it!

Thought he did great job and the movie needs to get made.

Yep, perfect choice. He was born for this role, but they had to go and completely butcher the character... and the movie.

[LakeEarth]

I just noticed, but how does Hulk come into the scene? He just magically appears out of no where.

The GIF is from the superbowl ad. I guess the CG wasn't done at the time, but he's there at the beginning in the movie.

My thoughts exactly. I couldn't believe it when I found out he also played George Kirk in trhe '09 Star Trek

Same thing happened to me yesterday, looking at his IMDB page.

[SorchaR]

I expected his picture to be everywhere in this thread but I'm really fucking disappointed that only a few intelligent human beings have noted his performance

This. There is only one Superman, and that is Christopher Reeves. I can't even imagine Superman with a different face.

[LakeEarth]

Christopher Reeve is the only Superman I've seen where you can actually believe people don't make the Clark Kent -> Superman connection. It's not just the glasses, it's the mannerisms, the posture, facial expressions, just the way he carries himself. Night and day. It's really good stuff.

Exactly. Reeves' Kent was so nerdy and clumsy that nobody could have even believed he was Superman at all.

[white dynamite]

I didn't know the Hulk had the ability to teleport.

[out0v0rder]

You're fired. No wait you're hired. Now get me some coffee, then you're fired.

[XiaNaphryz]

I didn't know the Hulk had the ability to teleport.

Again, that gif starts later in the sequence. It actually starts:

Bingo. Like I said, it's really two different roles. CR was awesome.

[ReiGun]

Again, that gif starts later in the sequence. It actually starts:

Yeah I don't have an updated version. lol

[DoubleTap]

I would have to add this guy.

[Host Samurai]

Casting doesn't get much better than this.....

[IceCold]

Thought he did great job and the movie needs to get made.

He was a terrible Deadpool. Especially after the abomination that he became in the end of the movie.

I wouldn't made if they made a movie where you see dead pool looking like a normal dude in the beginning then his transformation due to Weapon X (healing factor) but his face and body have to be scarred due to his cancer afterwards and he'd have to wear a full body suit like he does in the comics.
