7. Henry Cavill - Ford Brody - Godzilla
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, best known for his roles in the Kick-Ass movies, proved to be a relatively underwhelming and forgettable protagonist for the sum of Godzilla - indeed, his casting seemed somewhat at odds with the rest of the film, and he wasn't really all that believable as a soldier. Would Henry Cavill, Warner Bros. original choice for the role of one Ford Brody, have done a far better job? We'd like to say "yes" to that, given the acting chops that Cavill showcased in last year's Superman reboot Man of Steel. Cavill seems far more aligned with the material (and the character), and you can imagine is square-jawed soldier having a lot more chemistry with love interest Elizabeth Olsen. Besides, he's Superman. We're still a bit confused why the studio went with Taylor-Johnson, to be totally honest.
