Default Mis-cast roles?

Did you ever get a feeling that a role was meant to be another person?
For example, when I was watching the US/Gere version if "Shall We Dance," I couldn't help but thinking over and over that the "Bobbie" character should have been played by Bette Midler.

Any others out there?

Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.

Did not want to see the movie remade anyway but if you have to do it and the character has to be weird only one guy can do it right, Christopher Walken. Depp's charachter I just wanted to punch in the face.


Also any female buff scene that does not involve that Kate chick from Lost. If you are gonna do a skin scene, it should be her. Just my opinion though.

Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.

They should have picked Clive Owen IMO.

Do you mean that it wasn't her?

Nic Cage as Ghost Rider. Val Kilmer as Batman. Clooney as Batman. Keaton as Batman. Arnold as Freeze. Sorry, all I can think of are comic book movies...just so used to seeing the comic character, youre expecting somone similar.
