I think it's the only piece of miscasting in all 6 films

[redrobot]

i dont get it. voice seems ok to me. i suppose it cd have been fiercer but then you'd have lost the comedy element.

[original wombat]

[redrobot]

[siddharth]

No, but it's hypocritical.

[siddharth]

That was meant for you.

I had no problem with any of the actors, certainly they were not broke the suspension of disbelief for me. It was situations-- such as the absurdly long falls, and I couldn't get by the CGI of the white orc. He stood out as a cartoon to me, rather than a character, and given the direction they took the script, he was a vital character. I think they needed a real actor in make up. If you now tell me that all along that WAS a real actor in make up, then he gets my vote

Nicholas Cage. What? You didn't specify Middle-earth movies. And Cage was once considered for Aragorn!

Hmm…actually, I have to disagree. Nicholas Cage is great. And I thought Barry Humphries was well-cast as the Great Goblin; the Goblin-town sequence is like the only thing my dad (a TOTAL purist) actually admired about the Hobbit trilogy. That and Martin Freeman. But gods, he hates Tauriel, and Thranduil, and Bard, and the whole Battle of Five Armies, and everything else about the Hobbit trilogy.
