Best replacement characters

I know it is off topic, but I've been rewatching some of the recent cinematic scifis and got inspired to point out the best actors portraying old roles. Interestingly, there aren't that many of them out there, so the list is short, but here are the best 5:



The New Spock.
He was true to the original character, but a little too emotional...

Dumbldore
When the first dumbledore was taken from us unexpectedly, so many people thought the movie series was going to end. And yet, the following movies proved that nothing is set in stone, and like the amazing return of ACDC after Bon Scott's death, a new dumbledore came to the screen, bringing the same sense of child-like silliness and wisdom beyond even his own years.

Most impressive.

Gandalf.
Everyone has seen this portrayal, and few others, but this is the most recent gandalf, and he did a damn fine job of that serious but still slightly humorous personality that made earlier portrayals, especially on the stage, so wonderful.

The New McCoy.
Oh dear lord, that was an amazing portrayal! I never though Deforest could be replaced, but I have been proven wrong. I bow to you, sir!

The New Obi Wan.
Guiness left big shoes to fill, and he did. The new Obi Wan saved the prequels.

I just did this list on the fly, so understand that I didn't put ANY effort into it, and don't hate me too much for my generic choices. I just felt like posting something this month. I might make a repalcement of this later, with better thought-out people.
