But why is all the rum gone?
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. With the sole exception of his height, (comic book Wolverine is very short, and Jackman is not) it’s like the character walked out of the comics and onto the movie screen.
The like, 2 seconds in Deadpool where they had Cavill as wolverine made me wonder if he could legitimately do it
Hard disagree. Hugh is too tall and too pretty. He's done a fine job with the character but I am extremely excited for a new short-king wolverine. It's time to move on.
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
AND as the Sheriff of Nottingham!
Why a spoon cousin, why not an axe? It's dull you twit.
I always remembered that bit, I rarely heard anyone but my dad call someone a twit.
The fact that Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn isn't on this list makes me sad.
Ian Mckellen, as either Gandalf or Magneto.
Sir Christopher Lee as Saruman.
Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley
The entire cast of Princess Bride.
Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams in the 'Evil Dead' movies.
I fucking dare you to try to remake that with another actor.
Mike Myers as both Wayne and Austin Powers. He has a way of doing corny characters with soul, and that's quite rare.
Robin Williams as the Genie.
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal the Cannibal
I thought the same,then i watched Mads Mikkelson in the tv series Hannibal and think he played the role even better.

Runners up, R to L:
No one will ever play Wilson so well.
Some great runner-ups mentioned here. Of course the answer is Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who also had one of the best character entrances ever.
Henry Cavill as Superman for me. Alan Ritchson as Reacher.
But
Well yes of course. But Cavill lived up to his role
Carl Urban - Dredd
Ewan McGregor - Obi Wan Kenobi
Matthew Mcconaughey as Rust in True Detective S1. I'm desperately longing for a show that can live up to S1 with a character similar or better than Rust
Every character in that season was perfect. Even the very minor roles played by unknowns were all knocked right out of the park. The stars really aligned for that first season, and I am very much okay with that being a rare thing.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot.
One of the things about his performance is that the role has also been played by more than a dozen other actors, including Kenneth Branagh, Peter Ustinov, Albert Finney, John Malkovich an Ian Holm. Yet he made the character indelibly his own.
Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg
Heath Ledger as Joker.
Danny DeVito.
I dunno, he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are pretty much indistinguishable
Thank you for making me feel old. That reference made me realize how much my back hurts. But, at least I didn't throw my mom from a train.

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
David Spade as Joe Dirt
Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler in The Downfall
Is that the film that the "Hitler reacts" videos are from?
Yeah
Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison.
Robert Englund as Freddie Kruger.
David Tennant as Doctor Who
A couple LotR mentions already, but Andy Serkis as Gollum is actually most unliveupably to me.
Rami Malek absolutely nailed Freddie Mercury. The side-by-side clips of the two are astounding.
