If you could re-cast any comic book movie who would you pick?
My first re-cast would be:
Spiderman - instead of Toby (he's a horrible actor) Mcguire I would choose Topher Grace! Yes, the guy who played venom. He would have played Peter Parker/Spiderman a whole lot better. He's funnier, looks the part better than Toby, and a better actor.
I disagree with Johnny Depp, I believe that Robert Downey Jr. was a perfect Match.
Rob Lowe? I'm not sure about that. I thought Brandon Routh did a decent job as Superman, I thought he was too young. Eric Bana may have been better, I'm saying he's my top choice, but somebody like him. He's older, Bigger physique, looks more experienced. Both Rob Lowe and Brandon Routh are too much of pretty boys to be Superman.
I thought Toby Mguire was spot on as Parker in Spiderman 1 & 2 (but only ok as Spiderman in costume)
But I agree Brandon Routh looked a bit young to be playing Superman-Eric Bana would've looked more the part
My problem with Toby Mcguire is that he didn't mirror Peter Parker of the comics. Toby portrayed him too nerdy, too akward, and too socially retarded. Peter Parker needed be shown more as a scientist. That was a major problem with me in all the Spiderman films (which I didn't like very much btw). Spiderman saves the day not with his fists but with his brain. I really didn't see that happen in any of the movies. But, moving... I don't want to talk about the Spiderman movies in this thread.
I think that Christian Bale is a great choice for Batman.
But for the original Batman movie with Michael Keaton I thought that Alec Baldwin would have been better. He looks like Bruce Wayne, he has that cool dark voice, he did a good job as the shadow (except the movie sucked)
Gender: Male Location: behind there, near here, next to yo
Robe Lowe as Superman? That is almost as bad as Dean Cain
Even though i think Maguire makes a horrible Parker/Spiderman, i think the fault lies with Raimi and the screen writer. Parker is whining through out the entire movie. Even as Spiderman it is hard to not see Peter Parker as a monumental loser. This was slightly toned down in the sequel, but it didn't help that the second movie was essentially the same movie as the first. I think the first two movie's are good movie's, but Peter Parker and Spiderman feel as though they were wrongfully represented.
The same problem happened with Routh as Superman. Routh did a fine job, but other than being tall and resembling Reeves, he had no other purpose in the movie. When he wasn't on set filming the necessary face shots, he was reciting lines from the previous superman movies. Singer played it to safe in keeping the story small and giving Routh little screen time. If he wasn't confident in Rouths ability, why the fuk did he cast him? It would have been nice to actually see Superman in that movie. With that said, i think routh did a fine job, especially as a younger Clark Kent.

Jake Gyllenhaal - I disagree (why do people like him?)
Jim Caviezel - Good choice (But only if Cyclops' personality was more the comic)
Eric Christian Olsen - Good choice also
Sarah Michelle Gellar - Great choice (makes more sense than Jessica Alba)
- Seann William Scott (Stifler) should have been Venom!
- Topher Grace (That 70's Show) shoulde have been Peter Parker!
- Bryce Dallas Howard (The girl who played Gwen in Spiderman 3) should have been Mary Jane! She's a natural redhead and way prettier than Kirsten (I got bad teeth!) Dunst.
I stick with what I said about Tobey Mcguire as PP in Spiderman 1 &2, as in the comic book Pete was an awkward nerd before gaining his power. I have to admit his potrayal in SM3, crying every 5 minutes, got on my nerves
I dont like the choice of Sarah Michelle Geller as Sue Storm.She is the OLDER sister of Johnny and she's pretty young. That being said,someone-dont know who yet,younger for Johnny Storm and someone older for Sue Storm.Maybe Erika Elenik I think its spelled for Sue Storm.
the others?
Howie Long as Eddie Brock.
Sarah Michelle Geller as Gwen Stacy
David Lasher as Peter Parker
yeah Bryce Howard as Mary Jane
Yeah Bale was a great choice for Bruce wayne but I agree as well that
Alec Baldwin should have played the role back then.keaton was horribly miscast in that role
Scott Weinger for Robin-O'donnel was way tool old for the role.
