I know it's kinda weird for me to say even though he's old and does those stupid verizon commercials but don't anybody think James Earl Jones looks attractive in this movie. He looks like he really did work out hard and is very gorgeous.

To play "Jack Johnson" one would have to be in great shape.
JEJ played the handsome, strapping suitor in the film Claudine as well.
I guess someday someone will say the same thing about Denzel...

huh? not exactly chiseled, just not fat. also, very unconvincing fight scenes.

What the $%*& is a Chinese Downhill?!?

He was great. And I think he is playing a heavy weight so they wouldn'y look too cut anyway.

great movie.
