Christopher Walken in the Prophecy sequels - The first one, the idea of Gabriel the Arch Angel being such a human hater - "A bunch of Talking Monkeys" was just wonderfuly chilling - the second and third movies were beyond "meh" (and I haven't seen the rest of the sequels) but "Gabriel" could put the fear of God into anyone!!

I absolutely agree about Michael Chiklis in Fantastic Four.
Matt Damon and Brad Pitt in Ocean's 12.
James Franco in Spiderman 3. (just to be controversial)
Matt Damon in The Bourne Supremacy (not really a bad film, but his acting was better than the film it was in).

Speaking of Bourne, I thought Bourne Identity was an utterly bland and boring film, but Clive Owen was absolutely fantastic. Maybe if he'd had a bigger part . . .

Annette Bening in Running with Scissors.
That movie sucked, but she was fantastic in it.
Almost the entire cast was fantastic, but they couldn't make up for how bad the rest of the movie was.

Mickey Rourke in "Body Heat". He had a very small role, as an arsonist.

Good catch. I found the movie insufferable, though Hurt had a couple of decent moments. But Rourke stole the show. What was he in, one scene?

Just one or two. He was the only person who seemed alive of the lot.

Yes, he's often the only good thing in his movies, too.

Reminds me . . .
I thought Meryl Streep and Liev Schreiber were both brilliant in Demme's Manchurian Candidate. The film as a whole had no energy, no sense of urgency and no emotional impact. It was, frankly, an utter disaster compared to the original and God only knows why they cut out the playing cards.
But Streep's scenery chewing was loads of fun and Schreiber was quite tragic as Shaw. The "you think they didn't figure you in" scene was a masterpiece of acting.

Are you insane??? That was one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen.

Have you seen the original? Because they cut a great action sequence, totally screwed up Marco's relationship with Rosie, completely butchered the brainwashing sequence, removed all humor, cut out the eloping sequence and the Jump in the Lake scene.
Oh, yes, and the "rip out the wires" scene, which is about the most intense post 1950 movie scene, if you ask me.
And, oh, yes, the ending, which was bitter, brutal, cynical and utterly bleak gets turned into a travesty wherein Marco's life is saved and the military machine moves in to do the right thing as opposed to covering the whole thing up.
All leading to that amazing final line, about the most horrible final line ever: "Oh, hell. Hell." The remake had nothing that came anywhere close to that emotional impact.
Anything the remake had, it had because of Streep and Schreiber; their scene together just before the assassination was truly chilling.
