    If they had toned down the silly craziness of Bellatrix that she tended to exhibit at times in the movie, then I think the perfect actress to play her would have been Carolyn Seymour. She was a Romulan commander in two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and would have played a perfect cold, harsh Bellatrix.

    Don't get me wrong: Helena Bonham Carter was great as Bellatrix, and I realized Azkaban would have made her crazy (Bellatrix, not HBC), but in the movies she seemed a little too "haha crazy," while she appeared more menacing in the books. Just my two cents.

    Bill Bixby as David Banner in The Incredible Hulk TV show. - The best.

    Just about everyone who has played the Shape since 1978 - The worst.

    Do you mean the movie or the original series? If you mean the film, then I agree.

    If your talking about Avatar: the Last Airbender, I most certainly meant the movie.

    Agree, JDM was good as the Comedian. Jackie Earle Haley also crushed it as Rorschach

    Worst: Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns (she looked like a reporter for a college paper, not a metropolitan one)

    Best: Christopher Reeve (Every other actor is merely wearing a Superman costume)

    I actually think Ben Affleck is great casting for an older Batman. It's just that the movie he was in was horrible.

    That's not actually Kevin Spacey. It's merely a fictional character played by Kevin Spacey. An easy mistake for someone as yourself. While we're on the subject, the perfect casting as protagonist in House of Cards is Ian Richardson.

    Okay? Yes, that was a mistake, I meant to say 'horribly cast.'

    Perfectly Cast: Dread Pirate Roberts as Ignorant American who is vastly inferior to the grammaticly superior Australian
