Halle Berry caught a lot of flack over Cat Woman. But I think the poor script and the absolutely horrible CGI had more to do with it's being a bad film than it's cast.
Yes... A few of these examples aren't the actors fault at all, but the script writing/directing.... There is a reason that Keaton didn't do the third movie...the script sucked.
Awww, Halle Berry went to accept her Razzie award? Massive respect to her for not getting offended and taking it with humor. That's how you deal with haters.
Shows a strange absence of narcissism, which is odd considering she's accepting an award. Most narcissists couldn't deal with that, but she understood why the razziez existed, and it was to celebrate excellence, even of that excellence happens to involve your failing as a professional and possibly as a person. That's a tough sell for most actors, huge, huge respect for Berry for knowing the game.
Honestly, the one thing that bugs me was how many people hated Berry's Catwoman, at least from the "downtrodden woman dies and gets reborn with superpowers" angle, while praising the Batman Returns version for being THE EXACT SAME STORY AND CHARACTER, except shoved into a Batman story. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the film (though I admit to considering Catwoman a guilty pleasure), but "it did the character and her origin all wrong" angle is complete buffalo biscuits.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Catwoman never died and had superpowers in the comics. She's just an awesome thief with a cat fetish. In the second Batman movie the producers managed to pull this off, because it was relatively original and new (for the movies) and Michelle Pfeiffer was great in that role, but the Catwoman movie just copies that, and not in a good way. Instead of the dark character, whose near-death-experience breaks down all the walls she has put up around herself we get a woman who dies, is reborn and then dresses up like a slut.
And the first guy, Richard Harris, didn’t want to do it and he passed away after wrapping the second movie. Frankly, I think he would have been too old to give that energy needed for the later movies. It’s not exactly a fair comparison
I feel that Dumbledore became a little shady after the third book. He was secretive and somewhat manipulative. I don’t think Richard Harris, if he had lived, could have been believable in that side of Dumbledore. Harris’ portrayal of the headmaster was more of a wise grandfather.
Yes he would have... Dumbledore may have been manipulative but he wasn't grumpy the way Gambon portrayed him. Harris would've done well, too bad he couldn't have been alive to keep it going. Have you ever even read the books?
Really Michael Gambon? He was fantastic as Dumbledore, sure he didn't play the role the same as Harris but he did join the franchise as it was becoming more adult and darker and his version of Dumbledore worked well with the franchises changes. Also I don't think even Harris could rival Gambon's fantastic performance in the Half Blood Prince
I absolutely agree, whenever I re-watch the movies, I skip the first two, they were great when I was 10 years old, but now they seem too childish. My favorite one is the goblet of fire because that's when shit gets real
When I first saw Prisoner of Azkaban I really disliked Gambon, but now I like him a lot more than Harris. Harris' Dumbledore was an old, calm, wise and collected wizard (more like a Merlin), whereas Gambon showed more of the incredible power of Dumbledore hiding underneath the old man. He had more wit, more agression (in a good way) and more presence.
The whole thing with Michael Gambon playing Dumbledore actually worked quite well. For me, it's just like the way we tend to perceive our grandparents as we age: when we're children, they're sweet, patient and adorable, but when we become teenagers, on top of that, we also start to notice their flaws and bitterness, just like in every human being. That's why I think the different interpretation made a lot of sense.
He is much more like the actual Dumbledore as the character develops throughout the series. Albus Dumbledore is revealed to be no saint, and Gambon projected that with both restraint and authority.
Not having read the books when you're playing a major character in a movie adaption of the books, is completely unforgivable. The director should have said no way am I hiring you for the part until you read the damn books, it's not like he's being considered for a role as an extra.
Will Smith was great, Disney took the movie to Robins kids first to screen it and they all agreed that Will did a great job and told Will that Robin was a big fan of his and said that he would have been thrilled that Will did not try to copy him but made the Geni a little more like Will than Robin. So even though I agree that Robin can not be replaced, if his kids say that Robin would have liked or been ok with Will taking over I will have to agree with them on this one
When the original is good as it is... dont do a remake just for a sake of money.. we all know disney only did it for money. I support will smith and he is one of my favorites. But new aladin was just a bad news. Like the old saying... If it aint broke...dont fix it.
that was also true with regard to Fraiser, honestly that is going to be hard to manage in a series with time jumps like the Mummy, which I like the story of that family going from skilled goofs in the first movie to international bad-asses in the third is a rather nice and clever manipulation of the usual reset to zero standards in movie series.
Well books and movies are different media, you have to do things differently. In a tv series you could perhaps have kept the more subtle version from the book but in a movie you simply don't have the time.
If it could have been done with the other books, and as they pointed out, the second Dumbledore actor toned down his later performances to more closely match the books, then it could have been done there too.
You would think the film director and producers would tell him not to be so aggressive but with the way they make movies now they let actors do whatever
Yeah this video is awful. The people who made this have no idea how much a good director can do for a film. A lot of great actors would seem to give very poor performances if the director doesn't do a lot to work with them. Also the script in a lot of these movies completely sucks which isn't helping anyone. A good example of this is the Star Wars prequels which have a bunch of great actors like Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson, and Christopher Lee but the script ruins their performances. I can't say much about the direction of those movies, it was pretty average and George Lucas could've done a better job but I respect his vision.
Søren Stilling I liked him as Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad and as the bad guy in Jack Reacher. In fact his role in Jack Reacher really begs the question of why wasn't he cast as a Terminator instead. He played the silent menacing antagonist who can fake acting totally normal to get closer to his target before killing them really well. But as Kyle Reese, he was easily one of the worse parts of the movie, though the script did him no favors either.
Fbiguy Now that you mention it, he actually was pretty good as a bad guy in Jack Reacher. I take it back. But I do think his performance sucks in every other movie he's in. Also suicide squad.
I thought he played the crazy aussie pretty well, maybe I'm just a sucker for over the top performances tho. I do think that he would have made an infinitely better Terminator in Genisys than a Kyle Reese
@@mathswithgarry7104 Not for me. It was an entirely different person (the character). She wasn't charming nor cute. Instead, she was like an old lady acting like a mother all the time.
In my personal opinion, it's all about there writing and rarely about the actors. Most actors in Hollywood are pretty decent, but if you have a bad script, it appears they can't act because you don't believe what they're saying. Writing, writing, writing. Extremely important. The reason why most of these are called out is the expectations of the previous dynamic between the original cast didn't align with what the audience wanted/expected. But again, mostly it's all writing (just my opinion).

I love how in almost all of these cases the reason the original actor left was because of shitty scripts and it feeling like beating a dead horse, but the video's title still blames the follow up actors who tried picking up the pieces... as if audiences can't recognize what the original actors had also seen.
Sorry NickandM... There's TWO Sarah Connors. Linda Hamilton has a twin sister and played as T-1000 in Sarah Connor's image to lure in John Connor (Terminator 2 movie)
Emilia Clarke? Who is that? It was Maria Bello who played Evey in the 3rd Mummy movie. Although I agree Maria Bello is a great actress I liked her in Secret window with Johnny Depp and anything else I seen her in but It was DEFINITELY Maria Bello in the 3rd one. Never even heard of Emlia Clarke hehe!
@@zombeat7376 Emilia Clarke played Daenerys Stormborn of HouseTargaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.
@@zombeat7376 It's from Game of Thrones, she's even mentioned later in the video for replacing the role of Sarah in Terminator Genisys and you're welcome :)
Linda Hamilton can not be replaced as Sarah Conor. She deserved the irreplaceable status when she turned the weak Sarah Connor in Terminator 1 into the badass mother in Terminator 2. So was Sigourney Weaver from Alien. As much as people wanted to relate Terminator franchise to Arnold, Sarah Connor was the star in Terminator 2. So in this case, the terminator franchise is dead imo.
@@perfectsplit5515 The 3rd Alien movie was good. The fourth also wasn't that bad, just not really on par with the first three. Also the TV show for Terminator was good (could have used a few less Cameron storylines though) and I am still angry that the makers ended it on a cliffhanger.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo I hated that they killed the little girl and the Marine Sergeant in Alien 3 - after they struggled so hard through such a harrowing journey to escape in Aliens. Alien Resurrection was a clearly contrived excuse just to start trouble all over again to make yet another sequel.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo although the video said it was budget problems that ended it's run it was really the year all the writers went on strike. I love any and all terminator related movies, shows, spinoffs, whatever. The what if or possible dystopian future is what I like about it.
Its a very complicated and long story why the Terminator franchise went bad. There's the issue with James Cameron and his former wife. The issues with the rights of the franchise. So on... But I think it wouldn't be for long to be that bad. James Cameron said he is working for a third final film. It would automatically consider the 3rd, 4th and 5th as canons in which he didn't directed. The story will continue with the 2nd film, so it will be a true 3rd Cameron Terminator film. I just hope it will be successful.
Julianne Moore did a decent job as Clarice in “Hannibal”. I think the bigger issue was the fact that the film was poorly written. It turned into an example of a movie that should have never been made. Period.
Agree. Gambon's Dumbledore, while closer to the real Dumbledore in the last of the films, was no where near what Jo created. Harris embodied the character as though it was written with him in mind.
Oh come on! Dumbledore, really? You show like the ONE CLIP where Gambon makes a poor performance choice and ignore every other scene where he's perfect? Even in Prisoner of Azkaban, there's no way Harris could have pulled off the faux innocent "Did what?" as well as Gambon did. Shame he died and all, but if Harris had stayed in the role with his slow delivery, they'd have cut most of it to stop the films hitting the three hour mark.
both of them impersonated one half of dumbledore. Harris was the father figure, perfect for the first two movies being more "kids movies" while Gambon brought in the weird, almost insane but also funny part of dumbledore. Also picking out one scene out of SIX WHOLE MOVIES he played dumbledore in?
I am not such a big fan but watched all the movies and didn't even notice the change. Now that they mention it.. But I thought it was gambon all the way.. lol
I read an interview where Gambon said he never read a single book from hp and never planned to. I think he's making up his own character that isn't even pretending to be Dumbledore.
Gambon may not be perfect but he is the right choice after Harris. Don't blame him over that performance in Goblet of Fire, it's a total mess in my opinion. Too bad it followed my favorite film in the franchise.
Not only the needed performances of future movies would be extremely hard for old dumbledoor to deliver, but also the Harry Potter series completely change after Azgaban. They are no longer so kid friendly no long school innoccence and giggles it becomes agressive and serious. Harry could have easily died in the goblet tournament even the slightly "mad" performance fit perfect for me because you realise how dangerous it if dumbledoor is upset
I remember Tom Clancy moaning in an interview about Harrison Ford getting paid way more than him to play the character he created. He said the writing was far more important than the star. I'd have loved to see him watch that old interview after seeing Ben Affleck take on the role and kill the franchise.
I know I was looking forward to a soft reboot with a big Arnie vs Arnie fight and got a 5 second or so fight and some bullshit about a human becoming a T-1000, like that made any sense.
SevelRomanov the signs were there that lucas would fail to do good prequels even before phantom. I still remember the confused wtf that occurred when solo shot 2nd. As for Cameron, it would all depend on whether he could write / acquire a good story. Probably difficult to do, come up with something original that makes sense and is also very entertaining. The obsession with bringing back Annie to the franchise needs to end as well, he's 70 ffs. If he's a terminator, you need to build aging into the story, or cgi him. Why bother, why not just use another actor ffs. Annie isn't a big box office draw anymore anyway.
Val Kilmer was actually a good choice, he nailed the character. Michael Keaton is THE Batman, but in case he did not accept it, Kilmer did really good job - not like George Clooney... however, the movie itself was a disappointment for other reasons: directing, costumes, plot, colors, etc...
Kilmer did a fine job in the role. He decided not to return for the next film because he wasn't fond of it and also was making The Saint at the same time.
Keaton is THE BATMAN Affleck is Frank Miller's DARK kNIGHT bale is realisticish batman west is70's campy bat-man kilmer is mix of both Clooney is a decent Bruce Wayne just not a batman
Keaton was awesome, but, having seen all the modern batman films the past couple of weeks... My opinion is that Bale is THE batman. At least, from a quality of acting and overall movie vibe point of view.
I think the director Joel Schumacher had plenty to do with horrible stylistic choices (neon on everything including machine guns, campy dialogue and nervous soda pop commercial editing) that truly wasted the talent of the lead actors as well sucked credibility and cool factor from the productions much in the way director Chris Columbus took all the joy and mystery of magic from the Harry Potter films.
I'm so obsessed by The Mummy since i was child. How good looking and had awesome acting all the cast, even the antagonist character. But when Rachel Weisz is no longer participated in The Mummy 3, i think all my childhood nostalgic ruined. Rachel Weisz is something. She is elegant the way she is. She and Brenda F. complete each other.
I don't know if there's only the actor to blame - actors usually do and say what's in the script and then there's additionally a director telling them what to do - so the change of Dumbledore's character can't be only the fault of Michael Gambin
Tom Cruise is no Brendan Frazier, who was the best choice overall for all the sequels of The Mummy. Tom Cruise just doesn't do it as the lead man in The Mummy sequels.
the charm of the original Mummy is that it was an adventure and had horror elements but comedy in it worked and it didn't take itself too seriously... Tom Cruise takes himself way too serious and always wants to be a hero larger than life, that's his problem.....
Just for what it's worth, the principal difference was that Cruise's Mummy was an adaptation of Bram Stoker's"The Jewel of Seven Stars", which (particularly after updating it to the present century) left little room for originality. The most surprising thing is that Universal apparently didn't see that _every_ movie based on that novel was a flop (The Curse of the Mummy - Blood from the Mummy's Tomb - The Awakening - The Tomb - Bram Stoker's Legend of the Mummy)
I hear that from a lot of people. I don't think the new guy was a bad fit. I thought parts of the script and action scenes left something to be desired, but then I'm not a huge Ron Perlman fan. Maybe if he didn't spew such noxious politics in his free time, I'd care more about his being Hellboy.
I don't agree with the the Dumbledore recast for this list. Even though I was younger, I barely even noticed it was a new actor, which seems like a success to me.
Julianne Moore was amazing in her Hannibal role! I can totally understand that sometimes it’s hard to see a new person in such a big role, though. But when you really watch it, she was great! Maybe if they’d changed the plot and had Julianne playing a different investigator, it would’ve worked a lot better.
Kilmer´s performance and Clooney´s performance have no difference...The two performances can be compared to circus clowns..The entire production of both movies were cheap copies from 1 and 2 Burton`s film direction . Then is not so much the actors fault.. and once you´ve seen the Chiristian Bale Batman movies , you won`t see the others never again... a darker character like the original comics
Azhkaban is the definitive greatest movie in the series, atleast in direction. It was, in accordance with the books, a transitional story... symbolizing the doubts a kid experiences as he grows into puberty. That change in tone was evident in the books and beautifully captured in the movies from Azkaban to Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter symbolizes a growth of child from innocence of boyhood to adulthood, taking responsibilities. And because it is still in context of Harry, Dumbledore needed to transition into more grittier in the transition movies (Azkaban, Order of Phoenix and Half blood prince). So, don't come and criticize the wonderfully original change in Dumbledore's portrayal. Even without the actor change, this would have happened.
Vishal Arora I agree with most of what you said, except that it's the greatest directed film in the series. I think David Yates killed it in the order of the Phoenix. Perfectly paced and the fight scene at the end was the highlight of the series if you ask me
Vishal Arora prisoner of azkaban is better in the book.. I never understood much in the movie bcuz of the characters motives n background wasn't very well explained.. it was short n fast paced.. then I read the 3rd book and it made so much sense.. there was a lot of information and background facts abt Harrys parents and Voldemort and the Azkaban prisoner abt his framed criminal act and who did it and why he was Harrys god father etc it also talks abt the event of Harrys parents murder in detail.. it just has far more depth and development which I felt the movie didnt have from the book
+Tiki80 well, that's basically the case with all film adaptations - and all of the HP Movies were incredibly fast paced compared to their source material
Анатолий Бронштейн I wouldn’t say worse, Emilia was 100% miscast for that role. At least Lena can sell the hardened female lead needed, closer to Linda even if inferior to the original. Emilia always came across as trying too hard to be tough and her delivery ended up a cringe fest. She literally ruined that movie.
Marshal Mathers i have to agree with you. Kyle went from a MAN you could believe in the part to a guy with the physical body but absolutely no charisma.
Marshal Mathers Emilia Clarke played Sarah Connor perfectly in my opinion, sure her lines weren't strong but it was her first action movie the only thing that sucked about it was the story and writing
Bit harsh on Val Kilmer, I reckon. I thought he brought great dignity and class to the role of Bruce Wayne. And he wasn't a horrible Batman either, IMO. But what do I know, I liked Halle Berry as Catwoman. I thought the movie sucked, but it wasn't her fault. I thought she did the best she could with the script she was given. And Kudos to her for turning up to the Razzies!
@@nwo2cool I HATED Clooney as Batman. He was nothing short of completely awful. While I totally enjoyed his role as Daniel Ocean in Ocean's Eleven, he was just so horribly wrong to don the batsuit. But for as bad a Batman as Clooney was, he was an even worse Bruce Wayne. Not his fault that the script for B&R was so terrible, but he delivered a fittingly terrible performance.
mydogskips2 sorry to disagree, but he should stay behind the camera. His acting is wooden and I cringe for him when he tries to act. A movie star he ain’t.
Emilia Clarke wasn't the issue it was the one who played john Connor who ruined it for me he wasn't terrifying he just looked like a 40 year old nerd walking around
the way I understand it, the Halle Berry Catwoman wasn't meant as the same character as the Michelle Pfeiffer Batman Catwoman. the idea was that there are many Catwomen. hence, while Michelle Pfeiffer was Batman's Selina Kyle, Halle Berry's version was Patience Phillips
I think that it was intended to be an "alternate interpretation", a blending of some aspects of the traditional character with other bits that were wholly original. And that's probably one of the reasons it flopped. Fans of the DC character went in thinking it was going to be about the character they were familiar with from the comics and movies, only to discover that they had been served something that was almost, but not entirely, quite unlike Catwoman.
The Halle Berry Catwoman is based on a book that has nothing to do with DC Comics. That doesn't change the fact that the movie sucks, but it sucks on its own merits, not because it didn't match the comics.
I really liked Catwoman by Halle Berry, I don't think it sucks, and I think she is sexy and very cat-like in the movie. Well, that is just my opinion, I like it.
A majority of these mentioned weren't because the actors replacing them were bad, it's because the scripts or the CGI were horrible. The original actors were smart not to sign on to the sequels because they knew better.
I didn't think the new Dumbledore was bad at all, but the rest were good choices. Though I'd have to question the Halle Berry one, as she wasn't playing the same character Pfeiffer did.
I thought there was more to the whole Batman exodus in the 90's. Sure, Michael Keaton didn't like the script, but he had already threatened to leave beforehand when Tim Burton was let go, stating he would only work with Burton. Or at least that's how I remember it.
I guess you are right. After McDonalds jumped off the boat after Batman Returns release (To dark and scary for thir customers) Burton was not the Producer of DC's choice anymore. And Keatons "i'm out" came after Joel Schumacher was confirmed as new Director. I would say it's the usual "Creative differences" thing..
At least they should get familiar with the characters they're going to adapt from the source material if not reading all of it. I wouldn't mind changes as much if they're the result of the actor's consideration instead of ignorance
um, so some actors go out of their way to get in the shoes of their characters, spend time in the atmosphere/conditions they lived in, undergo extreme makeovers, and he couldn't read the motherf...ing books? Wow, what a thing to ask from an actor! Especially since it's such a small role in such insignificant movie!
Katerina Bulatova: The case in point in the video is a pretty damn important role in 6 very succesful movies so I don't think I see your point at all. As I said before, if they had actually argued that they think this is better for the character in their opinion it wouldn't be as big of a deal but instead they're just ignoring the original character entirely
Honestly, Val Kilmer was an excellent Bruce Wayne. His scenes of character exploration are way better done than prior films and really show whom bruce wayne, or batman "behind the mask" really truly is. We get this well with michael keaton when he is with catwoman/selina kyle, and the one joker scene in "batman 1989" when he uses the iconic line "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight" but otherwise scenes feel really filler-ish. The problem? Val Kilmer in the suit-while feeling different, doesn't sound very intimidating and almost acts like he doesn't want to be batman. I'd say it was intentional giving the title "batman forever," his moment of "I'm going to retire" then maybe if we actually got the fully uncut version we deserve it'd help. Still, I think his delivery is very lacking while in the costume. Kilmer is also known for being a problem actor to work with, he dropped out of playing batman saying it'd do nothing to further his career. I would've preferred him in batman and robin if it'd gone "batman 1989+batman forever" like it should've in tone (and was the plan for a 5th film would it have been made before the year one idea shot up and then endlesss development hell until begins came up).
I have had this discussion with many and I agree. I think Kilmer just absolutely nailed the playboy Bruce Wayne more than most frankly... but his Batman? Didn't feel it.
Me too. To be honest, the special effects were fucking horrendous most of the time, but the plot was... pretty decent actually. IMO it was better than Genisys plot. I really wanted to know what happened after the second season; it's such a shame we'll never know :^(
Mr. Success I read something about John and the girl that Cameron was based on -Alison would get together in season 3. Also that we would have seen the consequences of them jumping around in time to stop Skynet -like that John Connor is no longer the leader of the resistance. Sucks that we will never get a proper ending.
Tanz Broz the moment they got rid of Megan Fox for what I think Michael Bay said Rosie Huntington Whiteley was going to be the next big star was utter BS. I could not get into her as Sam's new love interest they just didn't click at all and on top of that I never seen her in anything else after that. It wasn't until I looked up who was in the Mad Max movie and saw she had a role and I'm like OMG she's in something?? Nice to know Michael Bay decided to bring Megan back for TMNT though. I wonder why...
Halle Berry was awesome !! And Sarah Connors Chronicles was a very nice show. Lena Headley was more then ok in the role. I dont think the show was ruined by the cast. instead there was a lack of scripting... in the second season.
I enjoyed Lena Headley's portrayal of Sarah. I agree it wasn't the casting; the setup at the end of season 1 just wasn't a story I was interested in watching.
First i thought about Val , blonde ? , the Iceman ? But it was okay , i didn't like Carreys Riddler , the Stalker ( Jamie Foxx did the same acting with Elektro, awful) and i didn't like that the bad guy Two-Face died ( same with Joker and Pinguin before) or brainsucking Vampire Riddler...that is not the Riddler we want to see.
Am I the only one that liked Val Kilmer's batman and batman forever? That said with a sequel like batman and robin, and george clooney, everyone is a better batman.
I thought his Bruce wayne was ok but his batman was just too similar he didn't seem to make the two different enough as I recall it's been awhile since I've seen it.
Michael O Val Kilmer was one of my favorite actors who played batman. Honestly, i feel like they all brought something good to the role, even Ben Aflek (spelling?) and George Clooney. Comedy, tragedy, strength, and cleverness.
They share the blame. And the producers too. The entire film was nothing but a shameless attempted cash-grab. Who was out there asking for a Catwoman movie?
I feel the same with Killmer and Clooneys Batman. Given what they were given to work with, they could only do what they did. I still maintain that the two Schumacher Batman films would still have been terrible even if Keaton had stayed on board. With the Catwoman film, it was not even the same character from the comics or the Batman films, so was she really a replacement for Michelle? They could have called her Felinelady and it would still have been a shit film.
I only saw it once, but I thought Hallie did a great job with it. She was sexy as hell! For me the crappy special effects was what ruined it, plus the fact that it just wasn't a very good movie.
Harry Potter 3 was less finanically successfull than the others, since the second one was soo horrible. The other movies were grossing more money afterwards, since the 3rd movie was such a good movie (people who saw the 3rd in the cinema and plus dvd sales/rentals). Not sure if the new dumbledore could really blamed for being the least successfull of the franchise
I'm sorry, but they really should have waited for Jodie Foster to become available. She is Clarice Starling. Would also have been nice if they'd stuck to the book a little more. It was almost a happy ending. Ah, true love...
Jodie Foster didn't want to do a sequel. . Doing the other film gave her a honest reason for having to turn down the role rather than make something up.
I was pleasantly surprised by Sum of All Fears. Ben Affleck was a great pick for Jack Ryan, Liev Schrieber is a perfect John Clark (love Willem Dafoe as an actor but what a terrible pick for Clark), it's a decent take on the novel (waaaaay better than Clear and Present Danger), and a solid movie on its own. Solid 8 out of 10 for me.
I'm not a big fan of Affleck but he and any of the others (maybe a little less for Pine) were closer to the description of him in the book than Ford. I like Ford as a charismatic guy, but he's nothing like the book character.
I know this is an old post! But I heard before she was offered the role. She turned it down because she didn't like the script and it was too much like Scully. She hated the whole part about Clarice running off with Hannibal. But I thought so and still do - agree with you. Especially since Gillian always talked about how Clarice was her inspiration in regards to playing Scully.
Terminator Genisys had bigger problems than the recast of Sarah Connor. The fact they wanted to do a reboot of the franchise was the main issue. Fans wanted the Future War we've seen in the flashbacks of the first 2 movies. Salvation was on the right track but went about it the wrong way.
My issue with Genisys was they revealed key elements in the various trailers; (John Connor is now a Terminator himself? I did not need that revealed in a trailer). I skipped it in the theaters because of that reveal. When I later caught it on cable, it wasn't that bad in my opinion. It could have been a lot better though, but the plot being Skynet taking over the internet (not a building you can destroy or a scientist to silence etc..) was a very good idea.
Kilmer did a great job as Batman and bruce wayne... blame Joel Schumacher for those last 2 movies sucking... He said that he wanted to get rid of the dark, creepy vibe that Tim Burton created and replace it with the silly, campy vibe from the old series. Truly, Clooney is the worst batman... he didn't even TRY to talk like bats! and he did his stupid sideways head-bob through the whole movie...
I would say Kilmer did a decent job as Wayne, I think where the casting falls apart is actually with the story. Kilmer in the first movie would have been a better fit than in a movie when we introduce Robin played by Chris O'Donnell and make his foundling story front and center. Its kind of weird to have a character be the ward of another when they are in the same age bracket.
Really its hard to argue that Kilmer's casting is the most offensive. You have Carrey as Riddler, TLJ as Two-Face (when the original was willing to comeback but you wanted more star power), and O'Donnell as Robin. In a movie of bad choices, it is hard to see ones that might have been good in a more subdued light.
I thought that Julianne Moore did a great job in Hannibal. The problem with that movie was that it was just weird in the way that it was done, and the story was kind of hard to follow. Batman Forever is actually my favorite out of the Batman franchise. I thought Val Kilmer and Jim Carrey did a great job. Yes, it was kinda cheesy as compared to the first one. But overall, I thought it was great. I loved the action, and I thought it had a good story.
Julianne Moore was just fine. Is it me or every time there was a male character filmed with J. Foster, he looked like he pervertly lusted after her? I am pretty sure there's a trope for that.
Wow; someone who actually agrees with me that Kilmer was great Batman. I wasn't overly impressed with Keaton; he was good, but not great IMO. Of those first four films it was Batman Forever that worked the best for me. I was genuinely disappointed when he chose not to return for the fourth installment, but considering how bad Batman & Robin turned out, Kilmer made the right choice. I totally agree that Clooney was a sorry-ass replacement; the WORST Batman by far, fitting for the worst Batman movie in history. All of this became somewhat moot when Bale took over the cape and cowl for the Dark Knight Trilogy, easily the best Batman to date. Eager to see how Pattinson does with his turn at bat.
@@KineticKid84 There is no comparison between all Burton´s Batman movies and the Batman Trilogy with Christian Bale.. Not in a million years... Christian Bale`s performance make Kilmer and Clooney look like circus clowns for kids.. but is not their fault.. Is just the Movies production.
I deff agree about evelyn in the mummy I heard they were originally going to have her be dead in the 3rd film and i feel they should have done that........
I have some thoughts on the harry potter mention: Firstly, I love the Prisoner of Azkaban. It really brought the more adult and dark themes into the forefront. To say that the recasting of Dumbledore "ruined" the movie is simply false. The reason TPOA failed is because it fell between the 2 sides of the movies: light hearted and dark/gritty. The first 2, while still having adult themes and key info for future films, are still mostly for kids. There is very little conversation beyond what's important to the plot that is intriguing to adults, like Quidditch and even the trip to Hogsmeade and the blowing up of Harry's aunt. Don't misunderstand, I still love these parts, but for adults, it gets boring and confusing. TPOA throws most of these elements away and actually starts expanding the story beyond the school of Hogwarts and Harry himself. Sirius, Lupin, Wormtail/Peter Pettigrew, dementors, etc. These adult elements scared me as a kid and made me not want to watch HP, or at least that movie specifically. As an adult, I can appreciate these elements more. But the movie had to grind through that phase of going from kid to adult. Secondly, Michael Gambon didn't really bug me as Dumbledore. While I am a huge fan of the books, and even read them prior to watching the movies, Gambon never really bugged me. Yes, he is different and as a book purist it does irritate me that Gambon didn't do his research prior to taking the role. However, can you really imagine the original Dumbledore doing all the badass stuff from the other books and movies after Chamber of Secrets? Not me. The first Dumbledore represents the kind and gentle innocence that the first 2 books and films strive to protect, while the 2nd Dumbledore represents a more adult and mature character that takes things more seriously, but still has that gentleness and kindness from childhood.
Ben Affleck as Batman should be on this least. Going from Christian Bale to Ben Affleck was a horrible choice, even though Affleck is an amazing actor he just wasn’t right for the choice of Batman, it honestly ruined Batman vs Superman & Justice League for me
It wasn't exclusively Maria Bello fault... The Mummy 3 suffered from bad writing to worst script lines. The film's direction was all over the place. It tried to be humorous, serious and action/fast pace all at the same time.
You are dead on the money! It's not fair to blame Maria Bello, she did the best she could given the script and direction. Unfortunately they wanted Evie to be some kind of action star. And instead of replacing Rachel "Evie" Weisz, why didn't they simply say she was off doing something else; translating something Egyptian etc, and make Maria Bello's character someone else? Like Evie's sister or Rick's sister etc. It would have only taken Rick 2 lines to explain it all away. Perhaps they could have even gotten Ms. Weisz to do a "phone take" where she talks to Rick and mentions what she is doing/wishes she could be there etc. and something like "how is my sister/cousin/secretary (Maria Bello) making out?" REPLACING Rachel took me right out of the movie. SHE WASN'T RACHEL WEISZ!! How insulting that the director and producers would think we would buy that!! Plus Alex O'Connell was way too old in this sequel. He looked 28 to 35 and that would put Rick at what, 55 to 65? Yeah OK. Nope. And WTF did this have to do with MUMMIES? Sad way to end a franchise.
True, however, I would say that the choice to continue without one of the lead characters' actress was also a contributing factor in the degradation of the movie. More than just the casting the change in accent was quite jarring for me. As a casual observer not really attentively watching any of the three films I really didn't even think she was playing the same character.
Horrormaster13 suicide squad is no sequel to dark knight dumbass. . N his joker was not center character in the plot and was there for 7 min. The squad was the movies main plot.
Tiki80 Catwoman (2004) was also not a Sequel to Batman Returns. But Halle Barry is still in this list because after Michelle Pfeiffer she was the next Catwoman. And she was horrible. So was Jared Leto as The Joker in Suicide Squad. Think before you write a comment dumbass!
It's not like Dan Castellenata was in a theatrical sequel/remake to "Alladin" like Will Smith. It was a direct-to-video sequel and a subsequent animated series that ran for several years. I think he did a fine job in what he was asked to do.
I agree with most of these, but I disagree with you on Clarice Starling, I think Julianne Moore was great in the role. (But I did love Jodie Foster best.)
The Mummy got a boost by being in theaters when people were waiting in line for Star Wars The Phantom Menace, I sneaked off and watched it while I was waiting, and it prompted a number of others around us to do the same.
Catwoman the Movie Sucked so bad apart from Halle Berry. And I think Michael Keaton Jack Nickelson Danny Devito Christopher Walkin and Michelle Phifer got really lucky to be directed by Burton instead of the kid friendlier other films. Despite the failures of the Post Burton phase of the Batman films I think that Val Kilmer Jim Carrey Tomky Lee Jones and Chris Odonnell had good performances despite the movies. They should have got that Memento Director to do them instead. Just my opinion.

Racheal Weiss was rumored to have said No because she didn't want to be seen with a son that old in the third movie
Life's too short.
The Mummy 3 made me so angry. I have nothing against the actress. She was great, but it didn't feel right without the original casting.
Same... And to me it feels like the mc just got divorced and remarried someone else then act like someone that she's not...

Halle Berry caught a lot of flack over Cat Woman.
But I think the poor script and the absolutely horrible CGI had more to do with it's being a bad film than it's cast.
Yes... A few of these examples aren't the actors fault at all, but the script writing/directing.... There is a reason that Keaton didn't do the third movie...the script sucked.
The writing was horrible DC just can't get it right
@@DatGrA2b I agree, DC movies (other than the Batman franchise) just seem to fall short of being GREAT movies
plus Michelle Pfieffer is much hotter than Halle Berry, she's one of the most beautiful american actresses ever
@@michaelxz1305 I absolutely agree
Awww, Halle Berry went to accept her Razzie award? Massive respect to her for not getting offended and taking it with humor. That's how you deal with haters.
Shows a strange absence of narcissism, which is odd considering she's accepting an award. Most narcissists couldn't deal with that, but she understood why the razziez existed, and it was to celebrate excellence, even of that excellence happens to involve your failing as a professional and possibly as a person. That's a tough sell for most actors, huge, huge respect for Berry for knowing the game.
Shows she obeys orders.
🤔😎
Honestly, the one thing that bugs me was how many people hated Berry's Catwoman, at least from the "downtrodden woman dies and gets reborn with superpowers" angle, while praising the Batman Returns version for being THE EXACT SAME STORY AND CHARACTER, except shoved into a Batman story. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the film (though I admit to considering Catwoman a guilty pleasure), but "it did the character and her origin all wrong" angle is complete buffalo biscuits.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Catwoman never died and had superpowers in the comics. She's just an awesome thief with a cat fetish. In the second Batman movie the producers managed to pull this off, because it was relatively original and new (for the movies) and Michelle Pfeiffer was great in that role, but the Catwoman movie just copies that, and not in a good way. Instead of the dark character, whose near-death-experience breaks down all the walls she has put up around herself we get a woman who dies, is reborn and then dresses up like a slut.
The 2nd Dumbledor actually works for the following movies which were darker
100% and I think that is the consensus for actual Potter fans as well. I have no idea what this video is on about.
@@austynhl9484 correct
And the first guy, Richard Harris, didn’t want to do it and he passed away after wrapping the second movie. Frankly, I think he would have been too old to give that energy needed for the later movies. It’s not exactly a fair comparison
@@abbyr8749 you are so right.
Yeah and I'm not a fan of original Dumbledore. Maybe because of the change
I feel that Dumbledore became a little shady after the third book. He was secretive and somewhat manipulative. I don’t think Richard Harris, if he had lived, could have been believable in that side of Dumbledore. Harris’ portrayal of the headmaster was more of a wise grandfather.
Stacey Vermilyea clearly you never saw him as English Bob. Richard Harris was a phenomenal actor.
Yes he would have... Dumbledore may have been manipulative but he wasn't grumpy the way Gambon portrayed him. Harris would've done well, too bad he couldn't have been alive to keep it going. Have you ever even read the books?
His portrayal was exactly as he was written in the books. This new guy came in and didn't even know how
Dumbledore was supposed to be.
Stacey what books did you read that the rest of us didn't?
Stacey Vermilyea Totally agree, ignore these fuckwits.
Really Michael Gambon? He was fantastic as Dumbledore, sure he didn't play the role the same as Harris but he did join the franchise as it was becoming more adult and darker and his version of Dumbledore worked well with the franchises changes. Also I don't think even Harris could rival Gambon's fantastic performance in the Half Blood Prince
I absolutely agree, whenever I re-watch the movies, I skip the first two, they were great when I was 10 years old, but now they seem too childish. My favorite one is the goblet of fire because that's when shit gets real
agreed, plus I think Gambon's performance fits more the manipulative nature of Dumbledore that we see reveal itself in the book.
the shittiness is strong in their list
GANDALF IS LIFE
When I first saw Prisoner of Azkaban I really disliked Gambon, but now I like him a lot more than Harris. Harris' Dumbledore was an old, calm, wise and collected wizard (more like a Merlin), whereas Gambon showed more of the incredible power of Dumbledore hiding underneath the old man. He had more wit, more agression (in a good way) and more presence.
The whole thing with Michael Gambon playing Dumbledore actually worked quite well. For me, it's just like the way we tend to perceive our grandparents as we age: when we're children, they're sweet, patient and adorable, but when we become teenagers, on top of that, we also start to notice their flaws and bitterness, just like in every human being. That's why I think the different interpretation made a lot of sense.
He is much more like the actual Dumbledore as the character develops throughout the series. Albus Dumbledore is revealed to be no saint, and Gambon projected that with both restraint and authority.
I think Dumbledore you can forgive Michael Gambon because anyone would have a hard time replacing the legendary Richard Harris.
abudianto yes
I disagree. I would agree with you if he had read the books, but he didn't, so he couldn't have grasped the personality of the character.
Dude most people don't even remember the first the second was the best only film buffs remember the first harry Potter fans probably most preferred
Correct
Not having read the books when you're playing a major character in a movie adaption of the books, is completely unforgivable. The director should have said no way am I hiring you for the part until you read the damn books, it's not like he's being considered for a role as an extra.
No one could ever replace Robin Williams......
Will Smith was great, Disney took the movie to Robins kids first to screen it and they all agreed that Will did a great job and told Will that Robin was a big fan of his and said that he would have been thrilled that Will did not try to copy him but made the Geni a little more like Will than Robin. So even though I agree that Robin can not be replaced, if his kids say that Robin would have liked or been ok with Will taking over I will have to agree with them on this one
100 percent
When the original is good as it is... dont do a remake just for a sake of money.. we all know disney only did it for money.
I support will smith and he is one of my favorites. But new aladin was just a bad news.
Like the old saying...
If it aint broke...dont fix it.
Definetely
no matter how I see it, robin williams was definitely born for that role
I think they horribly miscast Evie in the 3rd mummy. She looked the same age as their son. It was very odd.
I would have loved Kate Beckinsale as Evie but no one can really replaced Weiz
are you guys crazy? maria bello is 3 years older than Rachel Weisz
that is so true!!!
that was also true with regard to Fraiser, honestly that is going to be hard to manage in a series with time jumps like the Mummy, which I like the story of that family going from skilled goofs in the first movie to international bad-asses in the third is a rather nice and clever manipulation of the usual reset to zero standards in movie series.
I didnt even know there was a third one
Book: *calmly* Harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire?
Movie: HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GABLET OF FIYAAH!!!!
I kinda liked Hardass Dumbledore. I guess it does draw the Gandalf comparisons more starkly, though. "Damn fool son of a Took!"
Well books and movies are different media, you have to do things differently. In a tv series you could perhaps have kept the more subtle version from the book but in a movie you simply don't have the time.
If it could have been done with the other books, and as they pointed out, the second Dumbledore actor toned down his later performances to more closely match the books, then it could have been done there too.
Infinity squared 😂😂😂
You would think the film director and producers would tell him not to be so aggressive but with the way they make movies now they let actors do whatever
Sounds less like “actor replacements” “totally ruined the movies” and more like bad screen writing “ruined the movies”
Harrison Ford is definitely a bad actor, so is Chris Pine. Even if the writing is phenomenal, you can't hire a turd to play the lead.
@@theprofessorfate6184 are you kidding dude? Chris pine's Ryan plot is abysmal. The story so bad no actor on earth can make it look good.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
This list dosnt make sense to me why blame actors when you should blame Directors and Casting people.
Looper in a nut shell.
Because that's life
100% agree 👌
I know right.
Yeah this video is awful. The people who made this have no idea how much a good director can do for a film. A lot of great actors would seem to give very poor performances if the director doesn't do a lot to work with them. Also the script in a lot of these movies completely sucks which isn't helping anyone. A good example of this is the Star Wars prequels which have a bunch of great actors like Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson, and Christopher Lee but the script ruins their performances. I can't say much about the direction of those movies, it was pretty average and George Lucas could've done a better job but I respect his vision.
The script for Genisys sucked and the guy that played Kyle Reece sucked.
DPM i agree!
Jai Courtney is never good in anything
Søren Stilling I liked him as Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad and as the bad guy in Jack Reacher.
In fact his role in Jack Reacher really begs the question of why wasn't he cast as a Terminator instead. He played the silent menacing antagonist who can fake acting totally normal to get closer to his target before killing them really well.
But as Kyle Reese, he was easily one of the worse parts of the movie, though the script did him no favors either.
Fbiguy Now that you mention it, he actually was pretty good as a bad guy in Jack Reacher. I take it back. But I do think his performance sucks in every other movie he's in. Also suicide squad.
I thought he played the crazy aussie pretty well, maybe I'm just a sucker for over the top performances tho. I do think that he would have made an infinitely better Terminator in Genisys than a Kyle Reese
The Mummy 3 without Rachel Weisz it just killed it for me.
I didn't even know they did a third!
Wasn't the same, but I treated it as a standalone movie. It worked pretty well for me after that.
@@mathswithgarry7104 Not for me. It was an entirely different person (the character). She wasn't charming nor cute. Instead, she was like an old lady acting like a mother all the time.

The 3rd movie was unfortunately just awful. Even with Brenden and Jet Li in it.

Replacing any character with Ben Affleck is always a bad idea.
Na come on, they should make Affleck play a villian like Egg Fu, The Fiddler or Tweedledee and Tweedledum
Argo is the only good performance I've ever seen from Affleck. I never understood how he kept getting cast in movies.
Justin Beabout Truth

Emilia Clarke was hardly the reason terminator genysis fell short.

It was her eyebrows.

@StackerBA,
It is about my fav Terminator flick.
She was great!!! Anyone Says OTW, can just Buzz Off...
She is the reason it's watchable.
I'm more in the camp that says BAD WRITING and BAD Acting/directing/production are what actually ruins movies.
In my personal opinion, it's all about there writing and rarely about the actors. Most actors in Hollywood are pretty decent, but if you have a bad script, it appears they can't act because you don't believe what they're saying. Writing, writing, writing. Extremely important. The reason why most of these are called out is the expectations of the previous dynamic between the original cast didn't align with what the audience wanted/expected. But again, mostly it's all writing (just my opinion).
I love how in almost all of these cases the reason the original actor left was because of shitty scripts and it feeling like beating a dead horse, but the video's title still blames the follow up actors who tried picking up the pieces... as if audiences can't recognize what the original actors had also seen.
ye richard harris noped out of life after he read script for 3rd movie

Sorry NickandM... There's TWO Sarah Connors.
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister and played as T-1000 in Sarah Connor's image to lure in John Connor (Terminator 2 movie)
Rachel Weisz was the heartthrob of Mummy. She was so charming. And Emilia Clarke did a good job tbh , the plot was crap.
Emilia Clarke? Who is that? It was Maria Bello who played Evey in the 3rd Mummy movie. Although I agree Maria Bello is a great actress I liked her in Secret window with Johnny Depp and anything else I seen her in but It was DEFINITELY Maria Bello in the 3rd one.

Emilia Clarke was Sarah Connor replacement not weitz replacement
Linda Hamilton can not be replaced as Sarah Conor. She deserved the irreplaceable status when she turned the weak Sarah Connor in Terminator 1 into the badass mother in Terminator 2. So was Sigourney Weaver from Alien. As much as people wanted to relate Terminator franchise to Arnold, Sarah Connor was the star in Terminator 2.
So in this case, the terminator franchise is dead imo.
They should have stopped after T2: Judgement Day. Just like with Aliens. They should have stopped that franchise after the second chapter.
@@perfectsplit5515 The 3rd Alien movie was good. The fourth also wasn't that bad, just not really on par with the first three. Also the TV show for Terminator was good (could have used a few less Cameron storylines though) and I am still angry that the makers ended it on a cliffhanger.

I love any and all terminator related movies, shows, spinoffs, whatever. The what if or possible dystopian future is what I like about it.
Its a very complicated and long story why the Terminator franchise went bad. There's the issue with James Cameron and his former wife. The issues with the rights of the franchise. So on... But I think it wouldn't be for long to be that bad. James Cameron said he is working for a third final film. It would automatically consider the 3rd, 4th and 5th as canons in which he didn't directed. The story will continue with the 2nd film, so it will be a true 3rd Cameron Terminator film. I just hope it will be successful.
Julianne Moore did a decent job as Clarice in “Hannibal”. I think the bigger issue was the fact that the film was poorly written. It turned into an example of a movie that should have never been made. Period.
it is a gorgeous looking movie though.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles was fantastic.

Honestly the casting switch of Dumbledore for me was incredible. Dumbledore 2 had way more soul
have you read the books? he isn't meant to be that dramatic, he is supposed to be a calm, old soul
Agree. Gambon's Dumbledore, while closer to the real Dumbledore in the last of the films, was no where near what Jo created. Harris embodied the character as though it was written with him in mind.
you do realise the other Dumbledore actor died and that's why they changed it?
SSSS
Wrong. Harris captured, the wise, calm enigmatic demeanour of the book character perfectly. Gambon was too unbalanced, frenetic and aggressive.
Halle Berry is not a recast choice, the whole fuckin Movie had nothing to do with DC or Batman franchise. Doesn't matter Who plays the cat
Felix the Cat, the wonderful wonderful cat......................
Oh come on! Dumbledore, really? You show like the ONE CLIP where Gambon makes a poor performance choice and ignore every other scene where he's perfect? Even in Prisoner of Azkaban, there's no way Harris could have pulled off the faux innocent "Did what?" as well as Gambon did. Shame he died and all, but if Harris had stayed in the role with his slow delivery, they'd have cut most of it to stop the films hitting the three hour mark.
both of them impersonated one half of dumbledore.
Harris was the father figure, perfect for the first two movies being more "kids movies" while Gambon brought in the weird, almost insane but also funny part of dumbledore.
Also picking out one scene out of SIX WHOLE MOVIES he played dumbledore in?
I am not such a big fan but watched all the movies and didn't even notice the change. Now that they mention it.. But I thought it was gambon all the way.. lol
I read an interview where Gambon said he never read a single book from hp and never planned to. I think he's making up his own character that isn't even pretending to be Dumbledore.
Gambon may not be perfect but he is the right choice after Harris. Don't blame him over that performance in Goblet of Fire, it's a total mess in my opinion. Too bad it followed my favorite film in the franchise.
Not only the needed performances of future movies would be extremely hard for old dumbledoor to deliver, but also the Harry Potter series completely change after Azgaban. They are no longer so kid friendly no long school innoccence and giggles it becomes agressive and serious. Harry could have easily died in the goblet tournament even the slightly "mad" performance fit perfect for me because you realise how dangerous it if dumbledoor is upset
I remember Tom Clancy moaning in an interview about Harrison Ford getting paid way more than him to play the character he created. He said the writing was far more important than the star. I'd have loved to see him watch that old interview after seeing Ben Affleck take on the role and kill the franchise.

GrimmShadows maybe it will happen now that James Cameron himself will reboot it!!!
SevelRomanov the signs were there that lucas would fail to do good prequels even before phantom. I still remember the confused wtf that occurred when solo shot 2nd. As for Cameron, it would all depend on whether he could write / acquire a good story. Probably difficult to do, come up with something original that makes sense and is also very entertaining. The obsession with bringing back Annie to the franchise needs to end as well, he's 70 ffs. If he's a terminator, you need to build aging into the story, or cgi him. Why bother, why not just use another actor ffs. Annie isn't a big box office draw anymore anyway.
SevelRomanov the 3rd one was good.
Derpy Derp 3rd star wars prequel was average at best, 3rd terminator was average.
Val Kilmer was actually a good choice, he nailed the character. Michael Keaton is THE Batman, but in case he did not accept it, Kilmer did really good job - not like George Clooney... however, the movie itself was a disappointment for other reasons: directing, costumes, plot, colors, etc...
Batman Forever is actually the only movie I like in that franchise. Batman wasn't Batman to me without Robin, and the fourth movie was just bad!!!!
Kilmer did a fine job in the role. He decided not to return for the next film because he wasn't fond of it and also was making The Saint at the same time.
Keaton is THE BATMAN
Affleck is Frank Miller's DARK kNIGHT
bale is realisticish batman
west is70's campy bat-man
kilmer is mix of both
Clooney is a decent Bruce Wayne just not a batman
Keaton was awesome, but, having seen all the modern batman films the past couple of weeks... My opinion is that Bale is THE batman. At least, from a quality of acting and overall movie vibe point of view.
I think the director Joel Schumacher had plenty to do with horrible stylistic choices (neon on everything including machine guns, campy dialogue and nervous soda pop commercial editing) that truly wasted the talent of the lead actors as well sucked credibility and cool factor from the productions much in the way director Chris Columbus took all the joy and mystery of magic from the Harry Potter films.
Dumbledore asked calmly
"Did yee put your name in da goblet of fiyah!!?"
That scene was one of my biggest pet peeves ever, so completely out of character I don't know what the hell they where thinking.
it makes sense Harry did face the possibility of death by entering the triwizard cup
The Man Except It never happend in the book because it's not his character, so it doesn't make sense.
thisisnotthetardisyourelookingfor but book dumbledore isn't the same character as movie dumbledore
I'm so obsessed by The Mummy since i was child. How good looking and had awesome acting all the cast, even the antagonist character. But when Rachel Weisz is no longer participated in The Mummy 3, i think all my childhood nostalgic ruined.
Rachel Weisz is something. She is elegant the way she is. She and Brenda F. complete each other.
I liked Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, shame that show didn't last.

I didn't even notice Dumbledore was changed hahaha
The Egyptian I did but I could care less he was still really good he didn't ruin Harry Potter I don't know what he's talking about
Exactly. Actually I still can't tell the difference :p And in this video I was really confused sometimes. Did I just see Dumbledore or Gandalf? :p
lol same here, even after watching both 3 or 4 times play same role.
The Egyptian Wha?! Their performances were completely different! Did you not notice that Dumbledore became kind of a dick?
I don't know if there's only the actor to blame - actors usually do and say what's in the script and then there's additionally a director telling them what to do - so the change of Dumbledore's character can't be only the fault of Michael Gambin
Tom Cruise is no Brendan Frazier, who was the best choice overall for all the sequels of The Mummy. Tom Cruise just doesn't do it as the lead man in The Mummy sequels.
If we need to replace Brendan, at least choose a younger actor, Tom cruises is much older than Brendan Fraser
the charm of the original Mummy is that it was an adventure and had horror elements but comedy in it worked and it didn't take itself too seriously... Tom Cruise takes himself way too serious and always wants to be a hero larger than life, that's his problem.....
Isn't the new movie a reboot?
Just for what it's worth, the principal difference was that Cruise's Mummy was an adaptation of Bram Stoker's"The Jewel of Seven Stars", which (particularly after updating it to the present century) left little room for originality. The most surprising thing is that Universal apparently didn't see that _every_ movie based on that novel was a flop (The Curse of the Mummy - Blood from the Mummy's Tomb - The Awakening - The Tomb - Bram Stoker's Legend of the Mummy)
Fraiser was done his career after Encino Man
Although Linda Hamilton is the absolute best Sarah Connor, I think Lena Heady did a really good portrayal of the character. I really miss that show!
Well, it helps that she's the first Sarah Connor, too. That's probably about 99% of the reason.
True. The Targaryen actress sucked as Sarah Connor in genisys though.
Remember when they tried to remake Carrie twice... Yeah they sucked.
not really, the newest one is for a new audience
ah the remake carrie where the viral fake hidden cam commercial is more famous than the movie itself
Lagtastic C0W
The latest version was actually good. I'm a huge fan of the original.
All of the Carrie adaptations are watered down as hell compared to the book. The TV version is closest, but the acting and FX are pretty bad.
JAI COURTNEY WAS THE MOST INFURIATING PART OF TERMINATOR!
RJK shit, and I almost succeeded in forgetting him.
I don’t like him in anything. It’s like I can see him “acting”. Make sense?
I love both dumbledores equally
You cannot replace Ron Perlman as Hellboy, he did WAY too well. No wonder the 2019 remake flopped
"This is gonna hurt." I use that line all the time.
I hear that from a lot of people. I don't think the new guy was a bad fit. I thought parts of the script and action scenes left something to be desired, but then I'm not a huge Ron Perlman fan. Maybe if he didn't spew such noxious politics in his free time, I'd care more about his being Hellboy.
Well that and fad remakes are the most lowest overindulgent pandering you can do.
Ron Perlman sucks.
I agree John.
I don't agree with the the Dumbledore recast for this list. Even though I was younger, I barely even noticed it was a new actor, which seems like a success to me.
Catwoman wasn't the same character or take.
Val Kilmer followed a mediocre script and did well.
She was Patience Phillips, Pffiefer was Selina Kyle
Julianne Moore was amazing in her Hannibal role! I can totally understand that sometimes it’s hard to see a new person in such a big role, though. But when you really watch it, she was great! Maybe if they’d changed the plot and had Julianne playing a different investigator, it would’ve worked a lot better.
I know its been three years, but I also think that Julianne Moore was amazing in Hannibal.
According to Box Office Mojo, Kilmer's Batman Forever was the second highest grossing film of 1995.
I didn't mind Val Kilmer as Batman, where they really got it wrong was so badly miscasting Clooney in the role
@@davidgraham8299 Clooney was incredible as Bruce Wayne
Charming, intelligent and very kind
Kilmer´s performance and Clooney´s performance have no difference...The two performances can be compared to circus clowns..The entire production of both movies were cheap copies from 1 and 2 Burton`s film direction . Then is not so much the actors fault.. and once you´ve seen the Chiristian Bale Batman movies , you won`t see the others never again... a darker character like the original comics
Azhkaban is the definitive greatest movie in the series, atleast in direction. It was, in accordance with the books, a transitional story... symbolizing the doubts a kid experiences as he grows into puberty. That change in tone was evident in the books and beautifully captured in the movies from Azkaban to Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter symbolizes a growth of child from innocence of boyhood to adulthood, taking responsibilities.
And because it is still in context of Harry, Dumbledore needed to transition into more grittier in the transition movies (Azkaban, Order of Phoenix and Half blood prince).
So, don't come and criticize the wonderfully original change in Dumbledore's portrayal. Even without the actor change, this would have happened.
Vishal Arora I agree with most of what you said, except that it's the greatest directed film in the series. I think David Yates killed it in the order of the Phoenix. Perfectly paced and the fight scene at the end was the highlight of the series if you ask me
Vishal Arora prisoner of azkaban is better in the book.. I never understood much in the movie bcuz of the characters motives n background wasn't very well explained.. it was short n fast paced.. then I read the 3rd book and it made so much sense.. there was a lot of information and background facts abt Harrys parents and Voldemort and the Azkaban prisoner abt his framed criminal act and who did it and why he was Harrys god father etc it also talks abt the event of Harrys parents murder in detail.. it just has far more depth and development which I felt the movie didnt have from the book
+Tiki80 well, that's basically the case with all film adaptations - and all of the HP Movies were incredibly fast paced compared to their source material
Even worse than the choice of Emilia Clarke for Sarah Connor is the guy (what's his name?) that took on the role of Kyle Reese from Michael Biehn!
They shouldn't have made John Connor a bad guy. Ruined the franchise.
Alain Michel his acting wasn't convincing as Kyle reese
Jai Courtney was Reese. And yeah he couldn't match the original.
Even worse than the choice of Emilia Clarke for Sarah Connor, was choosing Lena Heady for the same role.
Анатолий Бронштейн I wouldn’t say worse, Emilia was 100% miscast for that role. At least Lena can sell the hardened female lead needed, closer to Linda even if inferior to the original.
Emilia always came across as trying too hard to be tough and her delivery ended up a cringe fest. She literally ruined that movie.
You bashed Sarah Connor's replacement, but made no mention of Kyle Reese's? Jai Courtney ruins everything...
They were both terrible. Plus it was a terrible script.
Marshal Mathers i have to agree with you. Kyle went from a MAN you could believe in the part to a guy with the physical body but absolutely no charisma.
Marshal Mathers Emilia Clarke played Sarah Connor perfectly in my opinion, sure her lines weren't strong but it was her first action movie the only thing that sucked about it was the story and writing
T4 and t5 are absolute wank, lena headey and linda hamilton are sarah connor
Emilia Clarke was physically the wrong choice. Too cute and small for Sarah Connor. At least Jai Courtney could look the part
Bit harsh on Val Kilmer, I reckon. I thought he brought great dignity and class to the role of Bruce Wayne. And he wasn't a horrible Batman either, IMO. But what do I know, I liked Halle Berry as Catwoman. I thought the movie sucked, but it wasn't her fault. I thought she did the best she could with the script she was given. And Kudos to her for turning up to the Razzies!
George Clooney was the worst replacement for Batman. Val Kilmer wasn't that bad.
@@nwo2cool I HATED Clooney as Batman. He was nothing short of completely awful. While I totally enjoyed his role as Daniel Ocean in Ocean's Eleven, he was just so horribly wrong to don the batsuit. But for as bad a Batman as Clooney was, he was an even worse Bruce Wayne. Not his fault that the script for B&R was so terrible, but he delivered a fittingly terrible performance.
I kinda feel bad for Ben Affleck; I don't think he's a bad actor, but he is known for a lot of bad roles and character portrayals.
So....you shouldnt feel bad for him...Thats his choice for taking on those roles.
He is tolerable in State of Play and The Town... but otherwise he is pretty bad.
He’s just a bad actor lol
mydogskips2 sorry to disagree, but he should stay behind the camera. His acting is wooden and I cringe for him when he tries to act. A movie star he ain’t.
Emilia Clarke wasn't the issue it was the one who played john Connor who ruined it for me he wasn't terrifying he just looked like a 40 year old nerd walking around
the way I understand it, the Halle Berry Catwoman wasn't meant as the same character as the Michelle Pfeiffer Batman Catwoman. the idea was that there are many Catwomen. hence, while Michelle Pfeiffer was Batman's Selina Kyle, Halle Berry's version was Patience Phillips
I think that it was intended to be an "alternate interpretation", a blending of some aspects of the traditional character with other bits that were wholly original.
And that's probably one of the reasons it flopped. Fans of the DC character went in thinking it was going to be about the character they were familiar with from the comics and movies, only to discover that they had been served something that was almost, but not entirely, quite unlike Catwoman.
They say its unlucky when a black cat crosses your path.... one just crossed Halle Berry's path
The Halle Berry Catwoman is based on a book that has nothing to do with DC Comics. That doesn't change the fact that the movie sucks, but it sucks on its own merits, not because it didn't match the comics.
I really liked Catwoman by Halle Berry, I don't think it sucks, and I think she is sexy and very cat-like in the movie.
Well, that is just my opinion, I like it.
They made Catwoman slutty.
A majority of these mentioned weren't because the actors replacing them were bad, it's because the scripts or the CGI were horrible. The original actors were smart not to sign on to the sequels because they knew better.
I didn't think the new Dumbledore was bad at all, but the rest were good choices. Though I'd have to question the Halle Berry one, as she wasn't playing the same character Pfeiffer did.
I thought there was more to the whole Batman exodus in the 90's. Sure, Michael Keaton didn't like the script, but he had already threatened to leave beforehand when Tim Burton was let go, stating he would only work with Burton. Or at least that's how I remember it.
Same here.
I guess you are right. After McDonalds jumped off the boat after Batman Returns release (To dark and scary for thir customers) Burton was not the Producer of DC's choice anymore. And Keatons "i'm out" came after Joel Schumacher was confirmed as new Director. I would say it's the usual "Creative differences" thing..
*Dont play a role if you never read the books*
Stop insulting our intelligence Hollywood.
At least they should get familiar with the characters they're going to adapt from the source material if not reading all of it. I wouldn't mind changes as much if they're the result of the actor's consideration instead of ignorance
um, so some actors go out of their way to get in the shoes of their characters, spend time in the atmosphere/conditions they lived in, undergo extreme makeovers, and he couldn't read the motherf...ing books? Wow, what a thing to ask from an actor! Especially since it's such a small role in such insignificant movie!
Katerina Bulatova: The case in point in the video is a pretty damn important role in 6 very succesful movies so I don't think I see your point at all. As I said before, if they had actually argued that they think this is better for the character in their opinion it wouldn't be as big of a deal but instead they're just ignoring the original character entirely
you're not very familiar with sarcasm, are you?)
Swing and a miss HoundofCulann, Katerina Bulatova flew right over your head.. swooosh...
Honestly, Val Kilmer was an excellent Bruce Wayne. His scenes of character exploration are way better done than prior films and really show whom bruce wayne, or batman "behind the mask" really truly is. We get this well with michael keaton when he is with catwoman/selina kyle, and the one joker scene in "batman 1989" when he uses the iconic line "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight" but otherwise scenes feel really filler-ish. The problem? Val Kilmer in the suit-while feeling different, doesn't sound very intimidating and almost acts like he doesn't want to be batman.
I'd say it was intentional giving the title "batman forever," his moment of "I'm going to retire" then maybe if we actually got the fully uncut version we deserve it'd help. Still, I think his delivery is very lacking while in the costume.
Kilmer is also known for being a problem actor to work with, he dropped out of playing batman saying it'd do nothing to further his career. I would've preferred him in batman and robin if it'd gone "batman 1989+batman forever" like it should've in tone (and was the plan for a 5th film would it have been made before the year one idea shot up and then endlesss development hell until begins came up).
I have had this discussion with many and I agree. I think Kilmer just absolutely nailed the playboy Bruce Wayne more than most frankly... but his Batman? Didn't feel it.
It's 50/50 with Kilmer.
In my honest opinion Val was the best Batman in the arguably worst Batman movie.
Worst Batman of all time George Clooney by far!
I miss Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Fuck yes :(
worst i prefer movies noting beats Arnold Schwarzenegger as terminator
Me too.
To be honest, the special effects were fucking horrendous most of the time, but the plot was... pretty decent actually. IMO it was better than Genisys plot.
I really wanted to know what happened after the second season; it's such a shame we'll never know :^(
Mr. Success
I read something about John and the girl that Cameron was based on -Alison would get together in season 3.
Also that we would have seen the consequences of them jumping around in time to stop Skynet -like that John Connor is no longer the leader of the resistance.
Sucks that we will never get a proper ending.
I need some closure now.....I miss it too :(
They forgot to mention Transformers
Yeah... Actors were what ruined Transformers...
Tanz Broz the moment they got rid of Megan Fox for what I think Michael Bay said Rosie Huntington Whiteley was going to be the next big star was utter BS. I could not get into her as Sam's new love interest they just didn't click at all and on top of that I never seen her in anything else after that. It wasn't until I looked up who was in the Mad Max movie and saw she had a role and I'm like OMG she's in something?? Nice to know Michael Bay decided to bring Megan back for TMNT though. I wonder why...
ChattGM She didnt play the same character as Megan Fox.. she was a new character
Yanet Vivanco but all the transformers are rubbish and all have terrible actors in
riiiiiiiight, because Megan Fox was SO GOOD to start with!!!
the second Dumbledore was amazing, what is wrong with this channel?
Ikr. The other dumbledore looked like he couldn’t walk
Never read the books hm?
Halle Berry was awesome !!
And Sarah Connors Chronicles was a very nice show. Lena Headley was more then ok in the role. I dont think the show was ruined by the cast. instead there was a lack of scripting... in the second season.
I enjoyed Lena Headley's portrayal of Sarah. I agree it wasn't the casting; the setup at the end of season 1 just wasn't a story I was interested in watching.
halle berry is overrated and she's in mediocrity as we speak and has been for over a decade
Jack Black would've been an amazing genie
No. Jack Black has never been more than a weak “comic-relief” sidekick. He’s just a schulb,
Jack Black is terribly overrated. I wish he method acted his final scene in _The Jackal_ .
I thought George Cloony was WAS worse then Val.
I was dissapoint from Clooney, but it was the script, the costumes and Joel Schumacher. Schuhmacher did too much Batman66 in this movie..it was awful
Even clooney agreed he was the worst Batman so it is definitive
I hate Val as batman, I refuse to watch batman forever.
First i thought about Val , blonde ? , the Iceman ? But it was okay , i didn't like Carreys Riddler , the Stalker ( Jamie Foxx did the same acting with Elektro, awful) and i didn't like that the bad guy Two-Face died ( same with Joker and Pinguin before) or brainsucking Vampire Riddler...that is not the Riddler we want to see.
Ya Clooney was the worst, he said he really didn’t give his all in interviews about the movie
Am I the only one that liked Val Kilmer's batman and batman forever? That said with a sequel like batman and robin, and george clooney, everyone is a better batman.
I'm seriously "Meh" about Val Kilmer's take on Batman. And will always be so,
I thought his Bruce wayne was ok but his batman was just too similar he didn't seem to make the two different enough as I recall it's been awhile since I've seen it.
Michael O I liked him a lot honestly. Not better than the big 3 Keaton, Bale, Affleck... but he was still good
Michael O Val Kilmer was one of my favorite actors who played batman.
Honestly, i feel like they all brought something good to the role, even Ben Aflek (spelling?) and George Clooney. Comedy, tragedy, strength, and cleverness.
I liked his batmman, his bruce was meh, Nolan had a good bruce but bad batman Keaton was the msot balanced of the oncreen versions.
With Dumbledore.... The books and movies become progressively darker and his performance was on point with the tone.
I don't know if you can blame Halle for Catwoman. That movie had such shit writing.
jinxedchef absolutely! The Catwoman script needed to be used as litterpan liner.
They share the blame. And the producers too. The entire film was nothing but a shameless attempted cash-grab. Who was out there asking for a Catwoman movie?
I feel the same with Killmer and Clooneys Batman. Given what they were given to work with, they could only do what they did.
I still maintain that the two Schumacher Batman films would still have been terrible even if Keaton had stayed on board.
With the Catwoman film, it was not even the same character from the comics or the Batman films, so was she really a replacement for Michelle?
They could have called her Felinelady and it would still have been a shit film.
tbh I like the movie, watched it as a kid. I didn't see the original portrayal of her, though, just the Catwoman with Berry.
I only saw it once, but I thought Hallie did a great job with it. She was sexy as hell! For me the crappy special effects was what ruined it, plus the fact that it just wasn't a very good movie.
Harry Potter 3 was less finanically successfull than the others, since the second one was soo horrible. The other movies were grossing more money afterwards, since the 3rd movie was such a good movie (people who saw the 3rd in the cinema and plus dvd sales/rentals). Not sure if the new dumbledore could really blamed for being the least successfull of the franchise
christian drumann true fans would have gone to the movie anyway and supported the new Dumbledore anyway
Funny that, because it was the third movie that made me stop watching.
Why do so many people hate Chamber of Secrets? I personally prefer it over Prisoner of Azkaban.
The only movie my family owns is the 2nd. It ruined the book for me, and it was my sister's favorite, so I couldn't just watch it once.
I thought Emilia Clarke was just fine in Terminator Genysis.
Same
She was the only good thing about it.
If Dan Castellaneta did such a poor job as the Genie, then why did Disney have him play Genie on the TV series for 86 episodes?
Because big corporations don't always listen to the masses. I'm looking at you Instagram.
I think he sound like Robin Williams I thought was him Robin williams would be proud of him
Because there was money to be made.
don't forget the kingdom hearts games
Wow!!! I had absolutely no idea that Emilia Clarke and Lena headley were both in Terminator shows/films!!
Heady was FANTASTIC and did the role justice. Emilia.... not so much.
I feel like Val kilmers bat man really gets a bad rep
I'm sorry, but they really should have waited for Jodie Foster to become available. She is Clarice Starling. Would also have been nice if they'd stuck to the book a little more. It was almost a happy ending. Ah, true love...
Or just write a different character
Jodie Foster didn't want to do a sequel. . Doing the other film gave her a honest reason for having to turn down the role rather than make something up.
She hinted in an interview she didn't like the script. So even if they had waited she wouldn't have returned.
I was pleasantly surprised by Sum of All Fears.
Ben Affleck was a great pick for Jack Ryan, Liev Schrieber is a perfect John Clark (love Willem Dafoe as an actor but what a terrible pick for Clark), it's a decent take on the novel (waaaaay better than Clear and Present Danger), and a solid movie on its own. Solid 8 out of 10 for me.
I'm not a big fan of Affleck but he and any of the others (maybe a little less for Pine) were closer to the description of him in the book than Ford. I like Ford as a charismatic guy, but he's nothing like the book character.
I maintain that the best replacement for Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling would have been Gillian Anderson.
I know this is an old post! But I heard before she was offered the role. She turned it down because she didn't like the script and it was too much like Scully. She hated the whole part about Clarice running off with Hannibal. But I thought so and still do - agree with you. Especially since Gillian always talked about how Clarice was her inspiration in regards to playing Scully.
Emilia: "Come with me if you want to live"
Looper: PASS. haha
Terminator Genisys had bigger problems than the recast of Sarah Connor. The fact they wanted to do a reboot of the franchise was the main issue. Fans wanted the Future War we've seen in the flashbacks of the first 2 movies. Salvation was on the right track but went about it the wrong way.
My issue with Genisys was they revealed key elements in the various trailers; (John Connor is now a Terminator himself? I did not need that revealed in a trailer). I skipped it in the theaters because of that reveal.
When I later caught it on cable, it wasn't that bad in my opinion. It could have been a lot better though, but the plot being Skynet taking over the internet (not a building you can destroy or a scientist to silence etc..) was a very good idea.
Linda Hamilton was amazing in T2. Love the scene when the elevators opens and she see Arnold walk out
Kilmer did a great job as Batman and bruce wayne... blame Joel Schumacher for those last 2 movies sucking... He said that he wanted to get rid of the dark, creepy vibe that Tim Burton created and replace it with the silly, campy vibe from the old series. Truly, Clooney is the worst batman... he didn't even TRY to talk like bats! and he did his stupid sideways head-bob through the whole movie...
I would say Kilmer did a decent job as Wayne, I think where the casting falls apart is actually with the story. Kilmer in the first movie would have been a better fit than in a movie when we introduce Robin played by Chris O'Donnell and make his foundling story front and center. Its kind of weird to have a character be the ward of another when they are in the same age bracket.
Really its hard to argue that Kilmer's casting is the most offensive. You have Carrey as Riddler, TLJ as Two-Face (when the original was willing to comeback but you wanted more star power), and O'Donnell as Robin. In a movie of bad choices, it is hard to see ones that might have been good in a more subdued light.
I thought that Julianne Moore did a great job in Hannibal. The problem with that movie was that it was just weird in the way that it was done, and the story was kind of hard to follow.
Batman Forever is actually my favorite out of the Batman franchise. I thought Val Kilmer and Jim Carrey did a great job. Yes, it was kinda cheesy as compared to the first one. But overall, I thought it was great. I loved the action, and I thought it had a good story.
Julianne Moore was just fine. Is it me or every time there was a male character filmed with J. Foster, he looked like he pervertly lusted after her? I am pretty sure there's a trope for that.
Wow; someone who actually agrees with me that Kilmer was great Batman. I wasn't overly impressed with Keaton; he was good, but not great IMO. Of those first four films it was Batman Forever that worked the best for me. I was genuinely disappointed when he chose not to return for the fourth installment, but considering how bad Batman & Robin turned out, Kilmer made the right choice. I totally agree that Clooney was a sorry-ass replacement; the WORST Batman by far, fitting for the worst Batman movie in history. All of this became somewhat moot when Bale took over the cape and cowl for the Dark Knight Trilogy, easily the best Batman to date. Eager to see how Pattinson does with his turn at bat.
@@KineticKid84 There is no comparison between all Burton´s Batman movies and the Batman Trilogy with Christian Bale.. Not in a million years... Christian Bale`s performance make Kilmer and Clooney look like circus clowns for kids.. but is not their fault.. Is just the Movies production.
She was fine. She just wasn't Clarice Starling. Her portrayal was totally different than Foster's.
'It's Val Kilmer.'
'Are you an actor?'
Bloody love it!! Lol.
Moore did great as Clarice...
She was less vulnerable but was more believable as an FBI agent.
@@2340Vegas She was a more weathered FBI agent, so... she was good.
I deff agree about evelyn in the mummy I heard they were originally going to have her be dead in the 3rd film and i feel they should have done that........
I have some thoughts on the harry potter mention:
Firstly, I love the Prisoner of Azkaban. It really brought the more adult and dark themes into the forefront. To say that the recasting of Dumbledore "ruined" the movie is simply false. The reason TPOA failed is because it fell between the 2 sides of the movies: light hearted and dark/gritty. The first 2, while still having adult themes and key info for future films, are still mostly for kids. There is very little conversation beyond what's important to the plot that is intriguing to adults, like Quidditch and even the trip to Hogsmeade and the blowing up of Harry's aunt. Don't misunderstand, I still love these parts, but for adults, it gets boring and confusing. TPOA throws most of these elements away and actually starts expanding the story beyond the school of Hogwarts and Harry himself. Sirius, Lupin, Wormtail/Peter Pettigrew, dementors, etc. These adult elements scared me as a kid and made me not want to watch HP, or at least that movie specifically. As an adult, I can appreciate these elements more. But the movie had to grind through that phase of going from kid to adult.
Secondly, Michael Gambon didn't really bug me as Dumbledore. While I am a huge fan of the books, and even read them prior to watching the movies, Gambon never really bugged me. Yes, he is different and as a book purist it does irritate me that Gambon didn't do his research prior to taking the role. However, can you really imagine the original Dumbledore doing all the badass stuff from the other books and movies after Chamber of Secrets? Not me. The first Dumbledore represents the kind and gentle innocence that the first 2 books and films strive to protect, while the 2nd Dumbledore represents a more adult and mature character that takes things more seriously, but still has that gentleness and kindness from childhood.
Ben Affleck as Batman should be on this least. Going from Christian Bale to Ben Affleck was a horrible choice, even though Affleck is an amazing actor he just wasn’t right for the choice of Batman, it honestly ruined Batman vs Superman & Justice League for me
It wasn't exclusively Maria Bello fault...
The Mummy 3 suffered from bad writing to worst script lines.
The film's direction was all over the place. It tried to be humorous, serious and action/fast pace all at the same time.
You are dead on the money!
It's not fair to blame Maria Bello, she did the best she could given the script and direction. Unfortunately they wanted Evie to be some kind of action star.
And instead of replacing Rachel "Evie" Weisz, why didn't they simply say she was off doing something else; translating something Egyptian etc, and make Maria Bello's character someone else? Like Evie's sister or Rick's sister etc. It would have only taken Rick 2 lines to explain it all away. Perhaps they could have even gotten Ms. Weisz to do a "phone take" where she talks to Rick and mentions what she is doing/wishes she could be there etc. and something like "how is my sister/cousin/secretary (Maria Bello) making out?"
REPLACING Rachel took me right out of the movie. SHE WASN'T RACHEL WEISZ!! How insulting that the director and producers would think we would buy that!! Plus Alex O'Connell was way too old in this sequel. He looked 28 to 35 and that would put Rick at what, 55 to 65? Yeah OK. Nope.
And WTF did this have to do with MUMMIES? Sad way to end a franchise.
Kron Hertz and no Imotep ruined the franchise
True, however, I would say that the choice to continue without one of the lead characters' actress was also a contributing factor in the degradation of the movie. More than just the casting the change in accent was quite jarring for me. As a casual observer not really attentively watching any of the three films I really didn't even think she was playing the same character.
Where is Jared Leto as The Joker?
To be fair Jared letos joker lerformance could have been oscar winning and it still wouldve been disappointing compared to ledgers
Horrormaster13 suicide squad is no sequel to dark knight dumbass. . N his joker was not center character in the plot and was there for 7 min. The squad was the movies main plot.
Tiki80 Catwoman (2004) was also not a Sequel to Batman Returns. But Halle Barry is still in this list because after Michelle Pfeiffer she was the next Catwoman. And she was horrible. So was Jared Leto as The Joker in Suicide Squad. Think before you write a comment dumbass!
Horrormaster13 Leto was good but not great
I know! Jack Nicholson right?
How was Halle Berry a replacement? She played a Catwoman named Patience Phillips . Michelle Pfeiffer was Selina Kyle.
You beat me to it but yes she was a totally different catwoman with a different origin
@@curbydinobot8633 And I liked Berry in the role!!!!!
@@bobh3394 I kinda enjoyed the film, but that doesn't say much. I also kinda enjoyed Jaws IV.
The Genie was pretty good regardless of who voiced him.
This. ^ As a child, I really enjoyed the cartoon.
I didn't like the Islamic undertones.
You can't have the Genie without Robin Williams
Robin Williams will ALWAYS be THE Genie
10 year old me didnt even notice 🤷🏿♂️
The second Dumbledore is my favourite. The first one seemed to friendly rather then the sort of secretive character he was in the books.
It's not like Dan Castellenata was in a theatrical sequel/remake to "Alladin" like Will Smith. It was a direct-to-video sequel and a subsequent animated series that ran for several years. I think he did a fine job in what he was asked to do.
I agree with most of these, but I disagree with you on Clarice Starling, I think Julianne Moore was great in the role. (But I did love Jodie Foster best.)
I recently watched all the Potter films for the first time. Binged them all over a couple of days and... I never noticed that swap. 🤣
Kilmer was better than Clooney though.
The Mummy got a boost by being in theaters when people were waiting in line for Star Wars The Phantom Menace, I sneaked off and watched it while I was waiting, and it prompted a number of others around us to do the same.
Catwoman the Movie Sucked so bad apart from Halle Berry. And I think Michael Keaton Jack Nickelson Danny Devito Christopher Walkin and Michelle Phifer got really lucky to be directed by Burton instead of the kid friendlier other films. Despite the failures of the Post Burton phase of the Batman films I think that Val Kilmer Jim Carrey Tomky Lee Jones and Chris Odonnell had good performances despite the movies. They should have got that Memento Director to do them instead. Just my opinion.
I don't think Christopher Nolan was even directing movies when Batman Forever came out. I think Following was his first.
What were they supposed to do with "Sarah Connor", make Linda Hamilton look young, and fail epically while trying??
No, but they could have picked someone with a physical presence...
@@Juliette72 Heady's got presence alright. I can hardly look at someone else anytime she appears on a screen. About Emilia C however, you're a lot more on-target.
Exactly!
