10 Worst Comic Book Castings in Film History

10. Dennis Quaid As General Hawk in G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra

Dennis Quaid is a good actor, but he has this aura that screams: €œNice Guy.€ The leader of an elite force of secret military rock-stars needs to be one intimidating dude. No amount of scowling can make Dennis Quaid exude that attitude, yet there he was. The most genuine moments of the film occurred when Quaid had the chance to smile, and then he was convincing, but he followed those moments by delivering lines in overtly comic-book fashion, which was nothing short of a giant ball of cheese. Fortunately for Quaid, he was not the only bad casting in €œGI Joe: Rise of Cobra,€ as all but three other characters were cast badly (Destro, The Baroness, and Snake Eyes were great castings). Quaid hasn't returned for G.I. Joe: Retaliation that opens in the summer. Who They Should Have Cast: Harrison Ford

28 year old male likes long walks on the beaches and romantic dinners in the...whoa...wrong posting. Greetings all! If you are reading this, you probably want to know a thing or two about me. I am indeed a 28 year old dude from Oregon, I'm happily married, and I am a creative professional that does graphic design and photography to try (keyword is try) to make money in this crazy world we live in. I'm totally insane about film and the arts, and I have some pretty strong political/religious/social opinions as well. I draw quite a bit of inspiration from film, and often use it as a lens for viewing the world. On this site, you’ll catch me writing about a variety of, well, stuff, and you can agree, disagree, or be indifferent, but any way you look at it, I love a good argument (I forgot to mention that I studied philosophy for two years, so argumentation, as long as it is good, gets me all excited). Happy blogging to all!
