Don't care what anyone says. Ralph Fiennes was a terrible Voldemort


Just awful. From GoB to beyond. Blue eyes...wtf? Where are his menacing red eyes? Voldemort is so flamboyant portrayed by Fiennes. He walks and talks very flamboyant. Awful choice, awful acting, awful everything.

The true Voldemort will always be Richard Bremmer from HP1. That was a menacing Voldemort.

Awful black negligee!

But that wasn't Feinnes' fault.

How wasn't his fault? Voldemort is not supposed to be flamboyant with those weird hand movements. He is supposed to be cold and evil like he was in HP1. That was the best Voldemort.

reply

The costume wasn't Feiness's fault, because they didn't send him over to the local mall and have him pick up a sheer black nightgown from Victoria's Secret.

No, they had a production assistant do that.

I think he was far from terrible, I'd say he was good. However, like you, I wish they had done a better job with his looks, he was at his most menacing in Goblet of Fire, they should have at least kept that visual of his from when we first get to see him coming to his true form.

Sure, and I don't care what you think.

I thought the only thing that could have made Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort better was to have red eyes, as in the books. He did a good job with the script he was given.
