After hearing about people raving over Avatar i thought id give the newer version of COT a spin , boy was I underwhelmed ( both by the 3d & FILM )
agree about Sam Worthington , generic cookie cutter ( look at me Im buffe than tom cruise ) actor hired for his look.
Hollywood forgets you need more than a look to act tough aka Weaver in Aliens or Eastwood.
Bale maybe as close to that hardman persona we will get ( unless you count Strathan who cant really act )
Personally my vote for the best hardman who can act ( very well ) in recent yrs goes to Clive Owen , discounting Arthur thing hes been pretty good in anything Ive seen - esp Children Of God.
