Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky

Eh. I love Mad Max: Fury Road. It is my favorite of all the movies. But Tom Hardy was just about a non-character in the movie. He was sort of there. Mel Gibson had to do way more acting in the original three.

For someone who had never seen the original Mad Max movies until this past year, it's kind of hard to get past the What We Now Know About Mel Gibson angle for me.

One stupid mistake a decade ago doesn't erase the fact that he is a great actor and director. Especially since he seems to have learned from that mistake.

*One* stupid *mistake*?

It wasn't one thing and the things he said and did seemed pretty deliberate to me.

He learned JACK SHIT.

He never apologized for the stuff he said and did, and it wasn't just one isolated incident. He's homophobic, racist, anti-semitic and he abuses women.

The only reason he's keeping low is because nobody's hiring him anymore.

He apologized from what I can find on the internet. http://www.adl.org/anti-semitism/united-states/c/mel-gibsons-apology-to-the-jewish-community.html

And there are several others (including televised ones).

Also, Gibson has had several critically acclaimed movies in recent years.

cool apology, only problem is that he continued being a POS years after the apology by farting out slurs every chance he got and being abusive in general

I'm tired of giving these whack ass white old men yet another chance (Polanski, Woody Allen, Johnny Depp) because ~they didn't mean it~

miss me with that shit

there are so many more talented, non-shitty people waiting for their turn in the limelight
I'll support them instead, tyvm

I am not as up to date on mel Gibson news as you. But I can only see one incident of abuse/slurs which was when he was arrested. When did the others happen?

Re: What film reboot had a better main actor than it's original actor?

(Anonymous) 2016-09-15 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
google is your friend

he had 3 epic phone calls leaked in 2010
last year he abused yet another woman (settled out of court iirc)
on and he's STILL spouting shit about gay people

It's not one stupid mistake. The things he said make perfect sense as an extension of his broader ideological outlook.

Re: What film reboot had a better main actor than it's original actor?

*shrug* IMO, all Mel Gibson's acting was still inferior to Tom Hardy's non-characterness.

Every one in the True Grit reboot was better than in the original. Especially Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld.

I agree the acting was way better. The only question is whether the movie is actually a reboot. I feel like they mostly ignored the first movie and just went straight to the original book.

That's a good thing, because the first movie mostly ignored the book, and the book was fucking awesome.

Agreed. The original True Grit is by no means bad, but damn did every actor in the remake just knock it out of the park.

With the caveat that the Rat Pack never did it for me outside of a singing capacity, I think everyone in the Ocean's Eleven remake was an improvement on the original.

I mostly dislike the Star Trek movies (other than the most recent), but I kind of prefer PIne to Shatner. I just am not a fan of Shatner at all.

Not a film, but my Clark Kent/Superman will always be Dean Cain. And I in general have preferred the tv takes to the movie takes on the character.

Basically all the cast of the Dune tv miniseries is better than the movie cast. I love the miniseries.

I actually liked the Dorothy in Return to Oz better than the one in Wizard of Oz. She felt more like book!Dorothy to me.

I've never seen the Dune miniseries but I have the Children of Dune one on DVD, and I have read Dune Messiah and part-read, part-skimmed CoD book, so based on that, I agree with you. I also feel the movie failed to explain a lot of what was going on and Lynch took quite a few liberties in it. Also I have read the book of Dune.

Return to Oz at least had an actress playing Dorothy who was in fact a child. I can't speak on the books though.

John Hurt is the only Winston Smith for me. He was almost exactly who I had in mind when I read the book the first time, and the 1956 film disappointed me so much it almost put me off film adaptations. But the 1984 version is phenomenal.

Not a film, but the BBC's Wallander does a better job than the original Swedish one does of playing the title character.

Patrick Stewart is a better Henry II in his version of The Lion in Winter than Peter O'Toole was. This isn't fully O'Toole's fault, because he was a good 15 years too young for the role.

But Glenn Close cannot possibly out-Queen Katherine Fucking Hepburn. Sorry, Glenn.
