Quinto takes the more standard approach in this regard but he still does a far more than adequate job in following Nimoy's footsteps) <br /><br />Pine - 3(Shatner is a bit tricky to follow for obvious reasons, and Pine probably did well not to really try to copy him in any way. He's good though bringing the right energy and charisma needed for Kirk)<br /><br />Eisenberg - 3(He's enjoyable enough here even though I definitely feel that he was overshadowed by his co-star throughout)<br /><br />Cusack - 2(Cusack's got some bad material to begin with, but I honestly I really don't care for him in roles like this) <br /><br />Ejiofor - 3(In terms of the material Ejiofor's in the same boat as Cusack, but though he's far from great he does his best to try to add some weight to the proceeding) <br /><br />Jackman - 2.5(The film is extra terrible but one thing I'll give Jackman's Wolverine is that's he's very consistent in the part)<br /><br />Carrey - 2(The two ghosts that speak come off as terribly annoying and really damage the power of the story. I really hated his Scrooge which was far too over the top. Also when you get right down to it is just a bad Alastair Sim imitation, and if you're going to imitate a Scrooge don't imitate the master)<br /><br />Wahlberg - 2(He does try but unfortunately he fails to overcome the shortcomings of the film making his character's grief never achieve the right poignancy, and the attempts at humor, so poorly place by Jackson, are embarrassing) <br /><br />Anonymous: I thought the Damned United was a pretty good subversion of the usual sports movie, and Hooper does a better job of directing than with either of his Oscar nominated works. <br /><br />Michael Patison: A local station where I live actually plays it it every so often.
