Movies you really like a lot but could have enjoyed much better because of an actor?

There have been some movies made before in the past where I really really loved the movie but I would have enjoyed it so much more if a certain actor or actress had not been cast for the lead role and felt cheated by that movie because of that.Here are a few I can think of where if they had cast somebody else for the movie,I would have enjoyed that movie so much more.

1.A Few Good Men. I cant stand Tom Cruise.I think he is so over rated as an actor.I would have enjoyed it much better if Kevin Bacon had played the main role and Cruise had played Bacons role.
2.Top Gun.again I could not enjoy it near as much as I wanted because of Tom Cruise.
3.Ghost. I love this movie,it is by far one of my top favorite movies of all time.However I would have enjoyed it so much more and far better if they had cast someone like Kirstey Alley or Kim Basinger or Micheele Phieffer instead of Demi Moore who is not at all pretty looking in that film with that short butch haircut. 😠 That movie more than the other two infuriated me the most with the casting.what are some of your movies you really loved but would have enjoyed so much more if a certain actor or actress hadn't been cast in one of the lead roles?

Anything with Kirsten Dunst, can't stand the actress.

I can't think of anyone else at the moment.

so which movies was she in that you really loved but her presence made it not anywhere near as enjoyable? surely you didnt hate the story or the screenplay for EVERY film she was in?

I thought Demi Moore was lovely in 'Ghost'. )

Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn in The Cell

Jake Lloyd in Star Wars I.

I didn't say I hated the films/storyline etc that she was in, just couldn't stand her as an actress.

I enjoyed for example Spiderman, and Virgin Suicides. But would have enjoyed them a lot more if she was replaced with a different actress.

Road To Perdition. It was a good movie, and Tom Hanks was suprisingly good in it, but it was still Tom Hanks. Not only is he a vastly overrated actor, but he was also playing a part that he could not be more ill-suited for.

Another one, Platoon. I may have enjoyed it slightly if anyone but Charlie Sheen was in it. Doubtful, though.

John Leguizamo in Land of the Dead.

yuck. 😘

Oh, Keenu Reeves in Constantine. If he wasn't in it, and Weiz lost the American accent, I would have adored the movie a lot more.

'Ghost' would still be hysterical no matter who starred in it...

Hysterical? that movie wasnt a comedy.It had some comical moments in it no doubt but it wasnt a comedy.It's for sure one of my favorite movies of all time.The end was such a touching moment.The excellent casting Of Patrick Swayzee as Sam Wheat was enough to cancel out Moore for me thankfully.Him being the main character and all.

Jim Carrey in 'The Dead Pool'.

I like the actor. He was just in the wrong role....By a long shot.

And also, I dislike Christian Slater in anything.

I love Platoon, but Charlie Sheen simply isn't the right actor for the main role.

Are you fukking kidding? Sheen made that movie! He's the reason it's the most successful 'Nam movie of all time.

Platoon>>>>>>>>>>>>>Full Metal Jacket, Born on the Fourth of July, Hamburger Hill, Missing in Action, Rambo, Good Morning Vietnam, We Were Soldiers, etc..........

And also, I dislike Christian Slater in anything.

Even True Romance, and Heathers?

Pirates of the Carribean, I hate Orlando Bloom.

Leonardo Dicaprio in anything. He spoiled Titanic a lot. He is not even close to cute.
I think Tom Hanks will have this effect on a lot of people that liked the Davinci code book.
