Hey UM. Not a comics fan, how did DDP treat him?

Eccelston is usually good and JGL has become a star since RoC, so no surprises really. On first viewing, I had a hard time believing that was JGL until the Rex gets bombed flashback. Seems like both of them were enjoying their characters.

It did look like they had fun with their roles, more so than Tatum.

I think everybody had more fun than Tatum. They tried to give Duke some personality but failed miserably, it's so bad he comes off as some kind of Mary Sue - all the odd coincidences connect back to him. They could've easily done the whole Baroness is actually CC's sister without the romance subplot and that might've worked but making her Duke's fiancee.....it's just too much. The entire plot of RoC hinges on Duke, more so then any other character - without him the whole thing collapses.

That's only because they were trying to build two unconnected stories at once, without the romance subplot we only need the SE/SS flashbacks if even them - especially since it fails to pay off in any truly meaningful way, just two guys with swords who don't like each other. Save those flashbacks for Retaliation, where it would impact more of the film's overall plot.
In RoC those flashbacks serve no purpose other than to flesh out two supporting characters, their (both the characters and their subplot) impact on the overall story is negligible.
