Walken in Dune.
Was just jarring imo. He has the right look, but he did his usual thing and I couldn’t help but see him rather than the character.
He was so-so for me. Not great, not terrible either. Since he had so little to work with, they could’ve cast any other good actor and it wouldn’t have mattered. I was hoping he would bring something special though.
IMHO and I’ll probably get flamed for it, Zendaya was the weakest actor in the cast. She was ok (not bad), but when comparing to the rest of the cast, she was definitely outclassed.
Walken was fine for me. The emperor played a smaller role in the film anyway.
The real miscast and the only problem in what is quite possibly one of the best adaptations we will ever see: Brolin as Gurney and Momoa as Idaho. They had the right actors in the wrong roles. I just don’t understand how you could flip those two pivotal characters like that. I really don’t think Momoa will be able to pull of a good mentat in the 3rd film.
