Movie Reviews of Of Mice & Men
Movie Review: What on earth posessed them to cast JOHN MALKOVICH???!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Gary Sinise is great in everything he does--and if he'd teamed up with Brad Garrett, this could have been an excellent remake. John Malkovich is one of the most overrated actors ever! His Lennie is a travesty--his voice is a horrible nasal monotone, and he does NOT give the impression of being huge, which is one of Lennie's most striking characteristics. He also doesn't in any way have the almost otherworldly, loving and lovable quality which Lon Chaney showed simply through his facial expressions. Unfortunately, this is the version that will be shown in schools, not the stupendous version with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr.
Lon Chaney, Jr.--Now THERE was a Lennie! He was absolutely transcendant in the role.
Unfortunately, many don't want to see anything "old", or in black-and-white. What a shame that real masterpieces are undermined.
I saw a version with Randy Quaid, who gave an excellent performance--but Lon still takes the prize as the Lennie for All Seasons. I suppose next we'll see John Malkovich tackling Rhett Butler--and the critics will probably rave...
