I'm totally not enjoying the new series of Les Miserables because the guy playing Javert is totally wrong.Even putting aside that no black man would have been a police inspector in 19th century Paris,he just plays the character wrong

Aw Jeese. Thought Hopkins was amazing in Silence of the lambs. One of the sequels years and years later when he was supposed to be younger was laughable though.

But.....I'll go for Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher.Awful if you read the books.

"Peter Davidson as Dr Who.Although I remember the 1st one.W.Hartnell ,I think Tom Baker was THE Dr Who."

He was a bit weak admittedly but nonetheless quite likeable I thought; Tom was amazing as was Pertwee.

I’ve been a bit unhappy with some of the recent incumbents in the role since the show has returned to be honest.....and that includes Tennant who I found for the most part, annoying. (Controversial alert!)

Jason ‘one trick pony’ Statham.

I’m not a fan either.

Was ok in Snatch......and possibly the original Transporter. I lump him along with the likes of Danny Dyer.

Any actor, in any role that requires them to wear lots of makeup to look older or heavier, or less good looking than they are in reality.

"John Wayne - Roman Centurian in The Greatest Story Ever Told.

It’s a wonder his dialogue looking up to Jesus on the cross wasn’t “Get off your horse and drink your milk”.

What about John Wayne as Genghis khan?

I always thought the robot that played “Short Circuit” could have been better cast?...

Think that one passed me by. Either that or it was so bad my memory blocked it out!

Agreed. But I was sick when after the reboot that Christpher Eccleston left.Thought he was great.Then I thought David Tennenant was fab (lol), and maybe even better than Tom Baker ( I'll wash my mouth out with soap ), but down hill after Tenant.

It took me 18 months to get used to Peter Davison because his character was so different from that portrayed by Tom Baker. But in a way that was the point, each Doctor is different while retaining some basic character qualities.

"Jennifer Lawrence - in - everything she has been in.

She is so overrated

How she demands her pay when she’s nothing more than mediocre in overhyped films is beyond me. "

Mediocre...Thats not fair.

She is much much worse than that!

Has to be Jason Statham in pretty much everything, not just for the acting but also down to every balding cretin with a shaved head claiming to look like him.

The Dr will always by Tom Baker for me, but maybe that’s my age. I’ve beer re-watching the first ‘new’ series with Christopher Eccleston and am really enjoying them.

I’d also like to buck the trend and say I’ve enjoyed the latest series, but she needs to dial back the wackiness a bit.

Swap Leo and Matt Damon around in The Departed. Leo threatening Jack Nicholson looked ridiculous.

Ben Barnes was nowhere near good enough looking to portray Dorian Gray either. Though swapping actors wouldn't save the film.

Hated Toby Maguire as Nick Carraway in Gatsby. He played it all wrong.

Adam Sandler plays Adam Sandler in every film. Huge list.

Sean William Scott seems to play Stifler in every film too.

Both are maybe not errors so much as the character sells and they can't do a whole lot else.

Aw Jeese. Thought Hopkins was amazing in Silence of the lambs. One of the sequels years and years later when he was supposed to be younger was laughable though.

But.....I'll go for Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher.Awful if you read the books.

You nailed that one. Reacher? A 5ft tall pretty boy???? Do me a favour...."
