    What about the entire cast of The Last Airbender? Not only did Shamalan pick white people to play asian characters, he picked unknown child actors who are bad even by child actor standards.
  • @ID-107
    #1: The whole cast of The last airbender!

    Steve Martin’s performance in Pink Panther was the very definition of “Trying Too Hard”
  • @gastonave
    The problem with the Pink Panther remake wasn't the casting, it was the fact that it just shouldn't have been made.

    Though I'm not a Jack Black fan, I felt he did amazing in King Kong. It showed me that he could pull of more serious roles and what made me appreciate him as an actor.
  • @MeesTW
    I dissagree with Jack Black as Carl Denham. In my opinion it's one of Jack Black's best performances.
  • @erinblais7437
    Jack Black was fantastic in King Kong. He's typecast
  • @ilovemygps
    So you thought that the chick in James Bond was 'the worst casting choice' simply because she was 'too pretty to be a smart scientist'. If that doesn't some up why society is fucked then I don't know what does. Especially since they could have included Kristen Stewart (as any character ever).
  • @SnakeMan227
    Considering that Eddie Brock was basically a bodybuilder who developed his physique to near perfection driven solely on his hatred for Peter Parker, Topher Grace was a lousy choice for Venom.
  • @ledger7469
    I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a good casting as Carl Denham. So sad he's gone 😭
  • About Hayden Christensen... I honestly enjoyed him in the Star Wars prequels. Nearly all of your argument is about how ANAKIN should be portrayed, and that's up to the writers, not to Hayden. You say only 1 single thing about Christensen, and that's that he always plays as a whiny, blah blah blah. And that's not even exclusively to Star Wars! When you say someone gives a bad performance in a certain movie, give arguments why he was so bad in that movie. I don't care about the rest, only HIS performance. Not his character, just the performance. I can understand many people hated his performance for various reasons, but when you do, please focus on the acting, not the plot of the movie. The writing was terrible at some moments, but that's not Hayden's fault.
  • @mirrorballl
    Can't believe they'd even try a Psycho reboot with Vince Vaughn. It's like one of the worst ideas ever.
  • @sevadaj
    Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi
  • @missyadams
    The reason Rosie O' Donnell was picked to play Betty was because she was the only one among the candidates who could laugh the Betty laugh
  • I don't think jack black was THAT bad. Plus, if you saw Bernie you'd know he has great talent in the right role
  • @thejoexman
    Jack Black was perfect for the role of Carl Denham. It was the perfect update to the character; the original was a riff on Cecile B Demille, Black was channeling Orson Welles, who actually DID act like that. And Adrien Brody was not MEANT to be a romantic lead; he's just a writer who Naomi Watts happens to have affection for. He's not supposed to be the smoldering hunk; he's just a guy. And what was wrong with the kid? Seriously, he was perfectly fine.
  • @dellamorris3221
    The prequels were amazing and Hayden Christian was my favorite character in the movies
  • @garthdavis2502
    John Wayne still sounded like Duke when he played Genghis.
