Liev Schreiber as Kingpin in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Kingpin is a crime lord who wants to bring back his family through Alchemax when they died in a car crash escaping from him after accidentally walking in on him fighting Spider-Man. Liev Schreiber's voice as Kingpin is deep and gravelly and too New York for the character. His performance, however, is scary, over-the-top and sinister. He used a Mark Hamill approach and he has a thick New York accent. He should be recast with Ray Winstone instead. However, all voice actors who have wide vocal ranges and multiple vocal registers should use that voice as inspiration for their characters' voices. For instance, Richard Newman for his voice as Lord Barnaby in Bugs Bunny's Tales of Adventures and Garry Chalk for his voice as Gobble in A Sesame Street Tale . Liev Schreiber, however, can use his Kingpin voice for his voice as Baron von Sheldgoose in Legend of the Three Caballeros . Liev Schreiber is a wonderful actor, but he would be better off in other roles like Ray Donovan in the...

Tim Curry as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island

Long John Silver is a duplicitous but smooth-talking pirate posing as a chef, who mentors Jim until he is overheard by Gonzo, Rizzo and Jim, which proves Smollett's suspicions of the crew being of shady character correct. Tim Curry's voice as Long John Silver is booming and thunderous. His performance is straightforward, theatrical and whimsical. He based his voice on his grandfather and he has a West Country accent which makes sense because after all, Silver is a pirate. There's nothing wrong with the voice, but when he sings, it sounds like Tim Curry's natural voice which is very weird. I think it would be better if Tim Curry does his Silver voice when he's singing and speaking or if Disney hired a guy to imitate Tim Curry's voice as Silver when dubbing Tim Curry's singing. All voice actors who have wide vocal ranges and multiple vocal registers should use that voice as inspiration for their characters' voices. For instance, Scott McNeil for his voice ...

The Bad Guys: Where Heist Movies Never End

The Bad Guys is a movie about thefts and crime. It stars Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Richard Ayoade, Zazie Beetz, Alex Borstein and Lilly Singh. Mr. Wolf is similar to Peter B. Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , Frankie from The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature and Prince Philippe Charming in Charming , who are all charming. In fact, Peter B. Parker should have the same voice as Mr. Wolf and the actor who plays him, Sam Rockwell because I picture him as more of a Clooney-type. Mr. Piranha is similar to Héctor in Coco because they speak Spanish. Professor Marmalade is similar to Randall Boggs from Monsters Inc because they are sneaky and Police Chief Misty Luggins is similar to Tom from the Tom and Jerry franchise because they both want to catch Jerry and Mr. Wolf. All the actors in every dub did a good job nonetheless. I would so recommend this movie.
