Although this is one I'm guessing had more to do with direction and writing.)<br /><br />Chiklis - 2(Same as Evans really)<br /><br />Duhamel - 2(Less annoying than our lead, but kinda a bland secondary lead for the most part. Then really falls flat in the "comic" scenes)<br /><br />McMahon - 1.5(You know something is wrong when the guy in the Robert Corman version (which was strictly made just to hold on to the rights) does a whole lot better of a job than you.)<br /><br />Anderson - 1.5(Over the top and unfunny pretty much sums it up)<br /><br />Turturro - 1.5(Same)<br /><br />Grace - (He's quite unfunny in his early scenes as Eddie, failing to build anything with his character. His role as Venom is not helped by the immediate change, or his goofy teeth, but his manic attempt at something menacing does not work)<br /><br />Santoro - 1(I'll admit the whole visualization of the character is one of the films worst aspects. It does not help with his over the top, but without any grandeur take on the role)<br /><br />Bentley - 0(Not worthy of a Wiseau. Blackheart does not suck out souls he sucks out every bit of life in a scene, its really something. The whole performance is just so bad. He's probably one of the most embarrassing cases of an attempted menace that is anything but. On top of that he's over the top in the worst sort of way, and just gives a horrible performance)<br /><br /><br />Robert:<br /><br />Ferris would never become either of those things.....since he's clearly Cameron's personal Tyler Durden.
