back on IGN, i read an interview and they were talking about an Ult. Nick Fury film. and someone from ign said, its pretty clear Ult. Nick Fury bears likeness to Samuel L Jackson, and the person from marvel said, they're not necessarily looking for jackson to play the role, but they threw some names out like Will Smith... 😕

jesica alba the best invisble woman

alba=HOT!!!!!!!!

jackman was a great woverine but they shul of used more cgi to show his skills as he was too big to move , he could of been faster and a way better fighter that would make him less sloppy

I think the actor who played Mr Fantastic did a good job of playing up the eccentric nature of Richards. He looked like the part as well with the grey hair and all!

althoug the film sucked, the hulk looked spot on, very well done considering he was all CGI

Agreed, but Eric Bana wasn't how I'd envisioned Banner.

fair enough but i thought he did alrite, he's a good actor who did want to continue the character, but with all the trouble with the sequel or restart, looks like he might get pushed out due to confliction... bummer, is one of the best actors to do a comic book movie

Oh, I wasn't saying that he didn't do a good job - he did. What I meant was that he wasn't scrawny enough. I also thought they needed to keep the gamma bomb origin for the hulk. Comic hulk is the personification of a massive explosion.

Professionalism is the word for your doubts.

who are u referring to? what bana or someone else?

He was good... but to go back to the point of this thread, he looks absolutley nothing like Wolverine does in the comics:

He's too tall
He's not hairy enough
He's not ugly enough
The hair is all wrong (though no-one IRL is going to have Wolverine's hairstyle)
.....He's Australian..... 🙄

He was hairy enough for me.
And the hairstyle was very much like him; you can't push it so far it looks as cartoony as the comics. It has to look real.
And I don't care that Jackman is Australian - so long as the character was kept Canadian. Besides, I don't know any Canadian actors who would have fit the bill.canadian

I hate to think wolverine is a dwarf...I like the actor for the character. Movies are doing better than comics after all. Let's wait for Thor...is got me a headache.

The Commish (whatshisname) as Ben grimm was terrific
Michael Duncan Clark as Kingpin -Great

I agree with the comments : MaGuire as Peter good, as Spidey- not so good
And hey how 'bout that Dr. Conners.. that actor nailed it, didn't he?

In no particular order, Here is who I think made the best comic to film translations:

Reeve/Superman

Bale/Batman

Jackman/Wolverine

Dafoe/Green Goblin

Every character in the Sin City movie

If I had to give the award to only one person, it would be Benicio Del Toro as Jackie Boy. Damn, he was spot-on.

I can see most of those, but not Jackman or Dafoe really. They both did a great job, but the portrayals were definitely NOT like the comics counterparts, especially visually.

I would say that Dafoe made a decent osbourne though, I suppose the green goblin fiasco was more the fault of director and the costume designer.

Honestly I think Bale has given the best comic character protrayel to date. Period, he was right on the money and even to the point of having the following film called the Dark Knight, the finally got batman on track.

Spider-Man, as much as his voice annoys the hell out of me, as far as an actor goes, he fit the bill almost perfectly. Exact build, had the personality down, all of it. Just was missing the cheesy one liners.

Sin City was just amazing. Enough said there.

Micheal Chikilis as Thing was dead on, as was Chris Evans for the human torch, and Mr. Fantastic. All three had the personality and look to exactly fit their roles. Got to give credit to Chikilis for playing the Thing, he voted personally to have the suit and not CGI, as being a thing fan he said the suit brought forth the emotion of not wanting to be what he was and it came out beautifully.

Dr. Doom despite the faults in the characters powers, was played excellent.

As much as I dislike Affleck, he did do well as Daredevil, and Duncan was head on as Kingpin, couldnt of gotten someone better.

Stewart for Prof. X, Perfect and nothing short of.

Jackman/Wolverine, sadly Jackman did decent. I didnt think he brought the ferocity of the character like he is in the comics, and there for sure wasnt enough of the word "bub".

Ryan Rynolds is said to be in talk for both a Namor movie and a Deadpool movie. If he can manage to read a bit and get DP's
Super ADD down, he will do decently in that role. Physically he is almost perfect I think for Namor but doesnt have the personality to pull off the role...

And yes, he was the perfect actor to play Doc Ock.

He was good, but the way the wrote Ock wasn't.

I honestly think that Christian Bale and Tom Jane have done the best so far.

The one thing I didn't like about Bale was when he played Bruce Wayne as a eligable batular, it just seemed so forced to me, its supposed to be natural for Bruce Wayne but it just didnt seem it (but he was only like that for 5 mins in the movie anyway so it's not like it matterd but still) but everything eles he did was spot on

Jackman did a good Wolverine, the only thing is stature wise he is too tall, but they weren't going to find anyone at 5'3" who could play the role.

I don't know how tall he is (he doesn't give a tall appearance), but I always thought Vin Diesel would've been a good Wolverine, even in yellow spandex.

vin diesel is half cast, wolverine is pasty white, that wouldn't go down well
