Russell Crowe - Les Mis

Add hugh Jackman.

Their singing was terrible...but because they are A list...

However Hathaway killed singing I dreamed a dream as Fantine. Tangential I hated Uma Thurman in the nonmusical version with liam Neeson and Geoffrey rush.

I would add Uma to the list of miscasts.

Clooney played George Clooney, dressed up as Batman. But that whole movie was a train wreck. Honestly, I think Arnold was the most convincing actor in that film.
Other than maybe O Brother, Where Art Thou?, how often does George Clooney play someone other than George Clooney dressed up as ______?

We all love him, but Keanu in Dracula just did not work.

Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in Patriot Games / Clear and Present Danger. Was too old for the character in the Clancy books.

Which is why he works.

Bruce Wayne is a rich playboy billionaire. That's basically George Clooney, minus a couple zeros.

The irony of that post is the villians work against each other. Heat = vegetation, cool = death.

Right, but the movie is not called Bruce Wayne and Robin.

Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York is always the first choice for me. She is so far out of her league in that movie, its weird that she was even offered the part. Another that hasn't been mentioned is the actress that plays Karen Page in Daredevil. Everyone else is nails, but she is nothing like the comics.

All of the Jack Ryans are terrible compared to Alec Baldwin.

John Wayne as Ghengis Khan. Apparently people even thought it was inappropriate casting in the 1950s.
I just looked this up on YouTube just to laugh at some potentially offensive scenes and dialogue and stuff...only to find that 40% of the crew contracted CANCER while filming on site??? WTF.

Did Jack Reacher kick everybody's ass in the books? In the movies, that aspect was way over the top.

Yes he does. He's about 6'6" and 250 in the books. Not a midget like Cruise, which is why the book devotees cringed at Cruise being cast.

Out of left field hot take that is going to get me banned:

Wes Studi is not good. Any time he gets work he is miscast as being an actor.

in the same vane, the Maze Runner kid being cast as Mitch Rapp was an atrocity.

Ryan was mid-30s in the books, most of which were set in the '80s. I believe Ford was mid-30s when he made Star Wars in the mid-70s. He was too old to be the Jack Ryan of the novels. And that fact alone took me right out of those movies (nevermind that Patriot Games was a horribly written movie from that book).

This and other threads on Entertainment have been exact copies of "articles" that make their way to my FB timeline. Who here works for Collider or Cracked dot com?

Jar-Jar Binks. He should have never been in those movies.

After the train wreck on the new trilogy, I have a weird soft spot for Hayden. But he was one of the most miscast of all time. Not intimidating at all. Never likable so you don't care about his fall.

Wonder who would have made a good Anakin looking back. Ledger and Leo were both interested in the role. I think Jake Gyllenhaal would have been great but he has really developed as an actor in the past 20 years.

Ryan Gosling, though the way the character was written, I don't think it would have mattered.

Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller.

Ferris Bueller is the cool smooth operator type, really popular high school kid.

Portraying him is a dweebie looking, pasty Stephen Colbert-looking dorky wuss.

Ruined the movie for me. Ferris's hottie GF should've hooked up with Cameron.
