When I first saw Rainbird I just started laughing. He was possibly the worst actor I could think of to play Rainbird. Rainbird is a huge man that puts fear into people just by looking at them with his grotesque face. By the way his face was fine and he had two eyes! And I liked his clean cut haircut that was funny.
shareGeorge was cast just right.. scary but funny... shows what you know
shareI'm assuming that you're a fan of the novel. Fine, but a movie, even if it's an adaption, has to stand on its own and I thought Rainbird was both intriguing and terrifying.
Personally, I don't get the appeal of Stephen King's works. He has some interesting books, but overall he's redundant and tends to cannibalize off of other works, plot devices, and character arcs he's already used.
I think George C Scott, while not being Native American, did fine in the role.
However, I really hate that excuse that Hollywood uses, and many film fans parrot, "films have to change from the source material", "they have to stand on their own", "some things just don't translate to the screen".
I think all three are BS, personally. Especially in this day and age. There is zero excuse, with modern tech and CGI, not to be able to make anything someone can imagine (IE things written in a story), appear on screen.

I thought George C. Scott did well in the role. The requirements were really an actor that could pull off a nice guy/bad guy role convincingly, and he did this.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
