Sticking with the Move theme, what do you think are some of the worst casting decisions. I'll start:

John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror - worst of all time
Sofia Coppola in Godfather 3 is truly dreadful
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher - really? did you even read the book?

    Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings was a total miscast if you read the novel. Should have been much closer to Bradley's age with a bit more edge.

    Johnny Depp playing Willie Wonka in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. He didn't do the part any justice because he could never replace Gene Wilder. They should have had someone that was much more like Gene Wilder play the part of Willie Wonka.

    I haven't even seen it yet because it's not even out and won't be out for a while BUT, the dude that they cast as Finnick in the new Hunger Games movie....
    I don't even know his name or his acting capabilities I'm just upset because he's white and Finnick is NOT. WHITE.

    Absolutely. I love the books, but I have no desire to see the movie with that little weasel posing as my favorite mountain of man.

    I actually am a Tom Cruise fan but totally agree that he should not have been cast as Jack Reacher.

    I actually don't mind him all that much, probably mostly because I read the book shortly before the movie came out, so I already knew the cast, so when I read it, he is who I pictured. Also, I don't really care about Peeta all that much so I was just like whatever lol.

    I think it was because there was absolutely no chemistry. I mean c'mon, it is *sort of* a love story - ish. I completely didn't buy it.

    Me. I shouldn't be playing me. Johnny Depp would make a better me than I do.
