Joan Allen as John Travolta's wife in "Face Off". Great actress, but they don't look like a couple AT all (again, IMO).

Add me to this list. The "chick" in question is the most self absorbed person in show business since Diana Ross. And her name? Beyonce. Even that smacks pretentiousness. And have you ever heard this dial tone talk? Saw a brief interview and let me tell you, she is dumb as a box of rocks. I'm talking 3rd grade education here. It was hilarious watching someone act so worldly and being so stupid.

This is a revenge film. The villain needs to be suitably fearsome and despicable for these films to work well. Gladiator totally flopped in this regard, and it made the final combat scene utterly anticlimactic (in addition to being an absurd premise for a conclusion.)
Gladiator generated a lot of unfair comparisons with Braveheart, but this is one area where the comparisons are telling.

Agreed. Dafoe is the opposite of the big&tough image given in the clancy books. Hell, even bushdog managed to steal a woman away from him. (or something like that 
)

Will Smith in Wild, Wild, West.
Smith is apparently the lead in potential film "I Am Legend". That just don't sound right to me. Will Smith is The Omega Man? No way.
Also, Mark Wahlberg in the remake of Planet of the Apes.

"From Hell" .....
"Superman"... Christopher Reeves was just too fem and had no muscles and I never liked him in that role. Supes should be a big manly man.....I mean come on. Margot Kidder was also to friggin ugly for Lois Lane. BTW, th eNEW Superbuy is rather Fem also and this is sad. Again, Supes is a BIG MANLY MAN.
"Batman" suffered from the same thing with ALL the men who played him in the movies. Bats is another big ass kicking man and all the actors from Keaton from Clooney were not what I see as Bats.
