Worst Casting in a Nolan Movie

Umm... I thought this forum was for "all non-Nolan related entertainment discussion". So what is this thread doing here? :eh:

An easy choice. Katie Holmes and Magpie Gyllenhaal. Throw in Morgan Freeman's ironic "funny face" as well at times, and Carrie Ann Moss's scene when she got hit by Lenny was also poor. Then there is Hilary Swank, she seemed just outta place but got into her part later out in the movie. JGL it seems asked Keanu Reeves for pointers when it came to keeping a "straight" face in Inception. The Prestige has nobody annoying to me so that stands perfectly on its shelf.

Maggie Gyllenhaal does what's required of her in TDK and she's not a bad actress at all - just ugly as shit.

Come on, she's not ugly. There's just something unpleasant about her. Something in the cheeks. I don't like how she looks either, but I can't say she's ugly.

The greatest joke by joker.

Overall yes. I like how she does not believe Lenny. Makes me also not believe him

I didn't really like Robin Williams in Insomnia. He gave a good performance but I just didn't like him in the role.

Katie Holmes. Didn't like her as Rachel. I liked Maggie as Rachel more. But overall, Rachel is just a boring character so I don't really think its their fault.

Maggie Gyllenhaal & Katie Holmes... both terrible choices.

Katie Holmes as Rachel
Ellen Page as Ariadne

Yeah, that's about it I think.
