REPOST of the post that the Mods deleted, minus the nasty link.

Sure, I remember him as Sonny Corleone, but he didn't strike me as being particularly massive or broad. Besides, costuming is responsible for how an actor fits his clothing, not the actor's build. I normally wear a size 45 or 46 jacket. If I squeezed into a 42, I'd be busting out the seams too. And standing next to Al Pacino, I'd look like The Incredible Hulk.


Oh, and about Keanu and Hugo in The Matrix: I really don't buy that Neo is supposed to be a confused buffoon with a blank look on his face all the time. The guy is what, a hacker or something, right? And he's s'posed to be "the one" (cue oohs and aahhs), right? So the character surely wasn't written as a retard. I think an actor like Pitt (who I think is probably one of the most intelligent guys in Hollywood) would have made the character a thousand times more interesting. On to Hugo: the dude sucks. At least, in The Matrix he sucks. And I can *barely* tolerate him in LOTR, which is a movie I love (if you can't tell, I don't really have any affection for The Matrix). In fact, all of the acting in The Matrix is SO rotten that even though the movie has a lot going for it, I really can't imagine ever seeing it again. All of the leads are either taking the "less is more" approach to its extreme, or they are hamming it up worse than Mel Gibson in Braveheart.
