Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's an interesting topic that has always ate at me for a while now...the casting of certain actors for certain characters. I found some them to be really good,such as Jim Carrey as The Riddler in Batman Forever (P.o.S.M.) and some to be really crappy in other instances like Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mister Freeze in Batman and Robin or Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin. (Okay,the Joel Schumacher movies hit a sore spot in me. So sue me.)

First off is Jessica Alba as The Invisible Woman/Sue Storm/Richards in the Fantastic Four film franchise(2005,'07 directed by Tim Story) as opposed to casting one of the finalist for the role,in which I mean Ali Larter.


Think about it,Ali Larter would've brought more power and strength to the role of Sue Storm than Jessica would,not saying she was a bad choice,but I'm saying is she wasn't a convincing Sue whatsoever.

Next choice for this matter would be Uma Thurman an Arnold Schwarzenegger as Poison Ivy and Mister Freeze respectfully in Batman and Robin(1997 directed by Joel Schumacher). I mean...WHAT THE HELL?! Arnold as Victor Fries,the small-framed genius that went to extreme ends to find a cure for his dying wife? Instead we get the muscle-headed big boy that cracks terrible ice-related puns whose main goal was just to encase Gotham City in never-ending ice and frost that barely gave a second though about curing Nora,even though he already had a cure on his suit for stage one of the illness. So...where's the reasoning for him becoming a bad guy in that film?


Now onto Uma as Pam Isley. Personally,I think she was a little too bitchy as Poison Ivy for my tastes,and not just saying that because she pulled the plug on Nora Fries' cryogenic chamber to kill her,she just came off as bitchy all-together in the film,plus the costume wasn't too exciting well done in most spots of the movie as well.



Well folks,I need to stand off my soapbox for a bit so I can take a breather,I'll be back for more sooner or later when I can get another roll going soon. See you soon everyone.

Here Here my friend. How about the new Batman movies. what do you think of Catwoman being Anne Hathaway? Michelle Fifer wasn't bad as Catwoman. Anne reminds me sort of the 60's one in a way. it has that retro feel. I'm not too crazy about the costume. I liked the one from the latest game the best.
I think Emma Stone would be a great poison ivy. she's got red hair. I could see her being Pam since she has a lot of the same qualities as she does. She's passionate about the enviorment (well not Poison Ivy passionate) and she can have this charm that's sweet but could also sting she you piss her off.
