		<description>Uma Thurman (Eowyn)
- Sean Connery (Gandalf)
- Nicolas Cage (Aragorn)
 
I liked the actors that played the lord of the rings as is; but must say it would of been interesting with these three playing the roles as well.  I can imagine sean connery being gandolf; but in a different away; but stiill good,,.and i&#039; hate to say it &#039;but maybe even better.  Cage as Aragorn, i dont know... he would of been different thats for sure.  Uma Thrurman would of been interesting as Aragon would of different because i think the script developed over time to favor the actors play on the charactor...which is a good thing in my opinion; but different actors means different direction in the script...personally, i thought the script was &#039;real weak with regard to the love affair of aragon...even at the end...it just seemed weak....for some reason i &#039;thought there should of been a fight for love at the end...but some how this was missed.

Personally, i always thought the arogon/</description>

		<description>For a book as popular as LOTR, having that many A-list actors would&#039;ve detracted from the whole movie.

Would you really be able to believe Sean Connery were Gandalf?  I think his voice alone is so distinctive you would never truly let yourself believe you were listening to Gandalf and not Mr. Connery.

Uma (excluding whether you think she&#039;s good looking or not) could&#039;ve done well as Eowyn, it wasn&#039;t a particularly huge role.

Cage...that would have been so bad.

With already established franchises being turned into movies my opinion is that it is usually best to cast the main characters as relative unknown actors since I think having super popular A-listers tends to distract from the overall story itself and make it more about the star power than the actual characters.

In the end the actors who ended up being in the film were great and I definitely can&#039;t imagine any other actors doing those roles.</description>

 yeah he looks like peter parker alright- thats true

i think that even if it was another actor they would have made him act like a pussy though- i mean he looks perfect but he doesnt act it- i think that it was the writer/directors fault that he was a bad spiderman.
i think that tobey has the potential to be a good spiderman  if the writer gives him good lines and makes him cry less. 
if they do that hed be perfect but the story didnt give him anything they concentrated too much on mary jane</description>

		<description>Uma may have worked, and maybe even Mister Connery, but Nic Cage as Aragon. God in Heaven that would have sucked. Not every hair plug in the Mines of Moria could have helped make that casting right.</description>

yeah i agree, i guess i was just going by looks of the charcters they play.  Samuel Jackson/Nick Fury, Robert Downy Jr./Tony Stark, Patrick Stewart/Professor Xavier.....not neccesaily how good of job they act as the charcters.  With Ian as Gandalf we get both (IMO) great acting and the look of Gandalf....</description>

dude i agree with everything u sayd- untill i read that you sayd &quot;tobey mcwire is a perfect peter parker as hugh jackman is to wolverene&quot; (correct me if im mistaken)

but i think hes too boring for spiderman and not once in all 3 movies did he taunt an enemy and make me laugh like the comic books did often

and really- thats like the best thing about spiderman- the fact that hes hilarious when he fights (specially in ultimate spiderman)
something mcwire CANNOT do (maybe its the writer who knows but- still)</description>

		<description>OMFG.  I like nic cage, I like Sean Connery but it makes me sick, seriously to even think of anyone else playing Gandalf. Tobey Maguire = Peter Parker, Hugh Jackman = Wolverine, there are two example of actors meant to play a character, simply going by looks and personality, Ian McKellen was meant to play Gandalf.  I would not want anyone else playing him.  Nic Cage as Aragorn, do I even need to say anything.  That would have been horrible. I think the casting for LOTR was perfect, I couldn&#039;t imagine it any other way.any other way.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve also read somewhere that eowyn could have been Naomi Watts:she would have been stunning(and Aragorn would have chose her...)
Cage as Aragorn:horrible</description>
