I still don't get how that good an actor made that terrible a voldemort

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the anon above and I ADORE Ralph but...I completely agree with this. His Voldemort was hilarious but made for a TERRIBLE villain. His nephew was creepier and more frightening as child Voldemort.

:/

I agree with this. I was so looking forward to his Voldemort, but it ended up being campy and not scary at all. Child!Voldemort was scarier.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the anon right above you -- I LOVE that we basically said the exact same thing. :D

[philstar22]

Yup. I think it is a slightly common opinion maybe? I don't know. I just know I was so disappointed. He even made torturing Harry somehow campy. How could he so misread that scene? One of my favorite book scenes and the movie version is just not good (although most of his later scenes were worse).

nayrt

I found his Voldemort menacing in the same way as Moriarty in BBC Sherlock; he's creepy because he's so whimsically batshit, prancing through a field of murder in his flowy little hospital gown with no regard for how normal people should behave. YMMV of course, but I think that kind of villain is fun to watch and probably horrifying to be around in-verse because they lack any reason.

Just such a strange thing. It's mainly the acting that trips the scene up. Not the costume, special effects or music. Just the acting from an actor who should be able to do this.

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't seen the films with Voldemort in so no idea if this applies, but: even the best actor in the world can't do a good job if the director is giving them poor direction, so maybe it was that?

[(Anonymous)]

He was in 5 films. There must have been more than one director.

[(Anonymous)]

There's often a combination of factors - the script, the directors...

Plus even if he did work under different directors (he worked with Mike Newell for Goblet of Fire, David Yates for the other 4), there's still the issue of internal consistency being maintained. Given that Voldemort is so vital, they wouldn't change up Voldemort's personality once he's been established.

I thought Voldemort in the books got less and less scary every time he appeared. Idk if it physically could be played without being campy.
