Re: Inspired by 4 - Casting changes you did not like!

I like most of the AOS Star Trek movies cast, but Zachary Quinto feels like a weak point to me. He isn’t bad as Spock, but he just isn’t as compelling as I think the character should be

Daphne Maxwell Reid played a pretty different Aunt Viv than Janet Hubert did in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Reid’s Viv just seemed much more indistinct.

I didn’t really care for Michael Gambon as Dumbledore in Harry Potter, he didn’t have anywhere near the refinedness that Richard Harris did. It’s not like Harris was going to be easy to replace, but I can think of several actors off the top of my head that I think would have been better.

I agree about Quinto. He's a great actor, but he doesn't feel like he's really Spock. The other two of the main, I could see the characters. But with him, he really felt like an entirely new character, not like Spock.

I disagree about Gambon vs. Harris, though. Yes, Harris was more refined. But he didn't have the humor, the badassness, or the hint of darkness that Dumbledore does. Gambon wasn't perfect, but he captured more of the character I saw in the books.

Semi-agree with Zachary Quinto, though I think part of that was the weird focus the movies had on him such that I think any actor cast as Spock for those movies would have had similar issues. At times the first two movies felt like they would rather it be The Spock Show than an ensemble and I think that lead to some really bad choices by the writers for his characterization. The third movie seemed to be more balanced as an actual Star Trek movie, and Quinto seemed to be more Spock.

In a similar vein, Karl Urban literally channeled DeForest Kelley and no one can convince me otherwise.

I never liked Michael Gambon and felt that Richard Harris was much better suited as Dumbledore (back when I was into Hairy Plopper)
