i thought he could portray him but the cast was indeed the clusterfuck. aside from using kirsten dunst the rest was a piss poor idea and just about insured that the rest of the novels if given the chance to become films would fail. all of the books tell a great and full story. having cruise, pitt, and such in their assured that they would not stick around for more. hell they even had to use banderas and slater in it. talk about no foward thinking like they did in harry potter, lord of the rings, etc.
