[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1135127, member: 158"] A random assortment of comments, seasoned [I]just so[/I] for your enjoyment: --Michael Clark Duncan: Excellent performance as the Kingpin. However, the character known as Wilson Grant Fisk was altered to fit the film. I didn't like it, but his performance drowned my annoyance. -- The comic-book Kingpin was not Italian to my knowledge; he was as white and fat and rich and powerful as they come, a caricature come to life. He gained his position through money and shrewd skills. He was portrayed as a wealthy man who wanted into the crime syndicate, and got in through money and talent. --My problems with Halle Berry as ANYTHING, not just super-heroes, is that I don't believe she's a good actress; I've seen her work in Monster's Ball, and that being responsible for her Oscar STILL baffles me. She cannot play anything other than herself. When the part comes with no prior history, there's no problem with it, but then you are portraying an established character, either that character had better be close to the way you really are, or you'd better be a good character actor. I'm glad she's successful, but this trait of sticking her in as many movies as possible like she's Mom's Prize-Winning Chili Sauce That Goes With All Dishes just baffles me - she's not all that, to me. Heck, I think Queen Latifah is a better actress, though what that says about my ability to pick acting skill I'll let someone else judge. :) --That said, Halle Berry was DEAD-ON in the look for a young Ororo (Storm). However, every time she spoke it grated my suspension of Disbelief. In the first X-men movie, she tried the "African Goddess" approach, and she couldn't pull it off; in the Second X-men movie she was more herself, which while it didn't fit Storm, at least didn't sound so affected and less grating.
