Mads Mikkelsen: 5 Awesome Performances & 5 That Sucked

3. Draco - Clash Of The Titans (2010)

Mads Mikkelsen Clash Of The Titans

An actor of Mads Mikkelsen's prowess and profile deserves a lot better than playing a secondary action hero in a bloated, sloppy mess of a 3D spectacle that runs painfully low on actual substance behind the set pieces.

It's actually all too easy to forget that the Dane is even in Clash Of The Titans, which is probably the most unforgivable thing about it. And though he looks formidable in his costume, he's definitely not giving enough to do, and could have been easily replaced by anyone of Ray Stevenson's ilk. That's not to disrespect Stevenson, per se, but he operates in a very particular arena, and Mikkelsen shouldn't be anywhere near it.

And if that wasn't enough, the film was then hurriedly converted into 3D by a team barely capable, rendering it mostly unwatchable without enduring massive headaches and blurry vision.
