<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>and yet from what I have watched of X-Men he played a really bad villain in Magneto...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Being a very big X-Men fan (McKellan was the only reason I was interested in LotR until I found out that Sean Bean was in it), I wonder if you mean the portrayal was bad or the villain himself was bad?<P>Anyway, I don't think it's a question of "forgiving" Hugo Weaving for his portrayal of Agent Smith (it was well done), but rather that the role was so impressing that you can't see Weaving play anyone else. Just as I had troubles seeing Sean Bean as anyone else except 006 Alec Trevelyan (Janus) after watching Goldeneye until after I watched many of his other movies.
