grim22 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Goddammit, seriously? Egg on my face. Hmmmm. I retract my rage. So Pacific Rim cast 2 British actors as American and 2 American actors as Australian? No wonder everyone's accents were all over the place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Why did Eric Bana never happen? I like him. while he may not have been a star he has actually appeared in a decent amount of films and worked with many respected directors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Different strokes for different folks there. I thought ATJ in Godzilla was absolutely dire to the point where he damaged a movie I otherwise really enjoyed, but most people I've read on here seem to think he was merely underwritten and forgettable. When it comes to Hollywood's attempts to inorganically create the next Joe Schmoe handsome white guy stars, opinions differ. Pretty sure most people trashed the hell out of ATJ in Godzilla? Abysmal. Hunnam was bad in PacRim, too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have plenty of nightmares. Having to choose between Hunnam, Jai Courtney or Sam Worthington to be the lead in my movie is up at the top. Ten years ago, it would've been Josh Hartnett. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Josh Hartnett is hilarious. Wicker Park and Hollywood Homicide are the best 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Pretty sure most people trashed the hell out of ATJ in Godzilla? Abysmal. Hunnam was bad in PacRim, too Huh. Maybe at the time, but in our constant retrospective musings on movies, it seems Edwards' choices as director (which I liked), the underwritting of human characters, and the choice not to have multiple monster battles (which I liked) all seem to get the hate. Whereas with PacRim, most people who dog the movie seem to dog Hunnam, along with the semi-inexplicable nitpicking about all the fights being at night. But idk. Hunnam and Kitsch at least bring a sort of rugged believable intensity to their roles, and they've done great work on TV. ATJ, Worthington, Liam Hemsworth, and Courtney are just as bland as it gets. But its all splitting hairs, I suppose. Next on the bashing line: Joel Kinnaman. Just watch. It's gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Its disturbing how much he looks like my older brother in the face there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Haven't seen Kinnaman in anything, but it doesn't feel like he's being inflicted upon movie going audiences the way some of those others were/are. Of course, if that were to change, and if he's a Blandy McBlanderson, then yeah, it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) These two are my favorite. PHOTOGRAPHER: "I know this is EW but let's go for the seductive Vanity Fair look! Charlie--that's your name, right? Charlie, I understand this feels dumb but I'm trying to not work for EW anymore. I'm going for the big leagues now. Help me out." EDIT: POST #13,000.

Empire Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Which is funny because he's British, no? Maybe getting to use his normal accent will help, cause otherwise I agree with ddddeeee, he's Worthington levels of bland. I don't think he is great, but he is better than Worthington. He has at least proven he can act on Sons of Anarchy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I really have no feelings for Charlie Hunnam either way other than that I constantly mix him and Garrett Hedlund up. Becoming more and more difficult for me to keep track of pretty boy blond white young actors, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bad (and miscast) in JW He was also the only tolerable thing in the whole movie (the actor, not his character), but that only goes to show what unimaginable stinker Jurassic Turld was.

Hatebox Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Goddammit, seriously? Egg on my face. Hmmmm. I retract my rage. Don't feel too bad - in his 'breakout' movie Green Street with Elijah Wood he can't even pull of an East London accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
