How cud u sniff Orlando is the best ever will he's lovely and I love his ace acting skills I loved him in POTC and he's even better in LOTR, **runs to C4O and crys asks her to make them stop** My poor Orlando!! Neway Johnny was ace as Jack I think that elizabeth wasnt very good tho <Bea hugs Smiley and dries her tears> There, there Smiley s'ok. Don't you worry about those nasty people. They wouldn't know good acting if it jumped up and bit them on the......... I love Orlando as Will. He was so charming and handsome and that accent, to die for. He's one darn good swordsman as well as being a very fine and upcoming young actor. That duel with him and Jack, very well acted. No stunt doubles in that scene. I did not like Kiera that much either. Then again I don't want to see Orlando kissing anyone in a movie.

yeah i guess, but wouldnt Stuart Townsend be incredibly HEROIC and incredibly hunkalicious for Will? ;D *runs off and hides* Not for Will. This guy looks too much like Johnny Depp in this picture. He could play Johnny's double if he ever needed one. Like if Johnny got sick one day. This guy could just step in for him. They can also do some amazing stuff with CGI as well. Isn't this a pic of Dorian Gray from LOEG?

Jack, and Barbossa were perfect, I am not going to touch them. Will and Elizabeth on the other hand, well... I wasn't that impressed with them to be honest. I felt that anybody could have played them with no difficulty. As I don't know any actor's names, I will not say which actor should have played whom. IMO, Orlando and Kiera were just eye candy, pretty to look at, nothing special. Hopefully they will be better in the sequel. And for all of those out there who know want to strangle me for denouncing Orlando as Will, I will say this; He did make a nice elf, 'nuff said ;D Yey! Glad I finally found someone else who isn't wearing rose tinted spectacles.

Bea are u sure about the no stunt double in that fighting/duel scene? Aww smiley, there there *hugs* Ok firstly let me separate Kiera and Orlando, sure they're good looking, but I dont think its fair to just call them eye candy. Kiera Knightley - she has established herself as a very good actress from a very young age IMO BUT of course this is just me, and I know a lot of people here disagree with me, thats okay, and I still think she acted the part of Elizabeth really well. Orlando Bloom on the other hand, I thought he could have done a better job with Will Turner, like bringing a bit of depth into his role, maybe the lack of humor in his character doesnt really make him stand out.

There was a stunt double ~ you see him on the extras.
Summer ~ there was humour in Will Turner's part ~ quite a lot of it actually. Orlando just didn't act it how it should have been done. Simply put ~ Orlando can't do anything that does prance around with pointy ears and a bow.
If you don't agree with me, try to imgaine if Orlando and Johnny switched places ~ could Orlando really pull off such a complex role as Jack?!
I don't know how else to put it, in POTC... he just seems...fake.

I think right Orlando is a very very good actor who would have been better if he put the effort into Will that he did into Legolas,and I dont think he could have pulled off Jack. I do think tho he is a good actor its just we saw him better in LOTR and have something to compare him to...and Johnny has been acting alot longer soo he's bound to be sligthly better.
I still love ORlando tho

Acting is one thing where experience doesn't really help. If you're good at it, you're good at it. It's a natural talent not one that can be taught.

S'pose but like if u've been acting longer ur gonna find it easier tom make ur character more natural and believable, cos u can look back at things u did wrong, then improve your self...my opinion newayz ;D

I didn't feel Bloom was that great even as an elf, again, just eye candy. Leggy never really seemed to stand out in that movie, basically all he does is prance around in tights and look mysteriously into the distance and say wise things. OOOOh big deal, no depth, and he wasn't that great in POTC either. Kiera on the other hand I am dissapointed with, she is a great actress in other movies but she never really did anything in POTC.

I agree. But it has to be said that their isn't much depth in the character of Legolas in the books either. Well, not as much as the rest of them

If one of them is worthless then so is the other. IMO, the only reason their characters are in LOTR is to show how people can overcome conflict between groups and become friends.
