boy you guys really don't like Maggie, I can understand that she's not a Katie Homes but i think they casted her to take a more mature road, idk why her looks has anything to do with her performance and I honestly don't think she looks that bad

Harveys taste in women is not something you have too agree with Leatherface. If he likes her looks that's his own issue. I think he is more curious as to how we say she's no good due to her ugliness.
I said her performance didn't blow me away. She wasn't THAT much better then Kattie. She's not an AMAZING actress.... she just a run of the mill actress. IMO of course, but I have seen a lot in my time.
Either way no one is saying her looks effected her acting.

Of course her looks have to do with her part. We are supposed to believe Harvey and Bruce both have a thing for her. A billionaire and a politician even giving her a second look let alone falling in love with her is so unbelievable it's makes anything else they say or do unbelievable. And don't tell me that they fell for her after getting to know her or anything like that. That may work for regular people who have to settle for what they can get. But people with power don't settle. If you are rich or have political power you want the best. Looks aren't everything. But a good first impression is based quite a bit on looks. Most people want someone attractive. People with money/power are even more likely to be that way because they know that money/power means they can be ugly and still get the attractive person. You want proof how powerful people pick attractive people. Look at Howard Stern. The man is worth hundreds of millions. And his girlfriend is a model. Bruce makes it even more unbelievable. Not only is he rich with power he's damn good looking himself. A good looking person with money and power isn't going to settle for anything less than as close to perfect as they can get. The only time you see someone who is rich/powerful with someone who isn't breathtaking is if they got together before that person had wealth and power. And they usually end up dumping that person for someone younger and better looking. Right now I only have middle age guys hitting on me. You can bet if I won the lottery I'd have guys who could be models knocking down my door. I of course think all of this sucks. It'd be nice to be able to get people based on their personalities. But money/power run the world.

Yes DS, however what you're saying is what makes her a bad casting choice. It still doesn't effect her acting. What it effects as you've stated is the believability of the story. And as you said... its not believable at all....
Those 3 models he walked in with is exactly what would be happening in real life. Who's too say those girls are bimbos? Maybe they have deep thoughts and hearts just like Rachael. Or not even those 3 but some other perfect 10.
Maggie is rated a 4 in my book and that doesn't cut it when casting a gigantic Hollywood movie.

Maggie is a good actress. But between her looks and the fact she wasn't wrtten very well hurt her in this film. I've seen her in other movies. She is a better actress than Holmes. But they didn't write her very well to show her acting ability in DK. Holmes may have been able to save it due to looking more believable for the role. But the part was not good. Nothing on the writing for the character in BB.

It's strange, because I thought Maggie sucked. Her acting when she was in danger was so....cheesy! I wanted to throw up when she was talking right before she died. And when that building blew up I cheered and everyone looked at me like "What the hell, man?" ;D
