Another entertainment industry insult to fans of the original material. Complete failure in casting. Azrael is an imposing presence of a man, a mountain and physically dominates a space, Clive Standen would have been an on the mark choice. Mrs. Coulter is (ironically also miscast in the film) Eva Green or a Megan Fox-like actress. Don't even get me started on Ma Costa, Lord Faa or <groan & shudder> Lee Scorsbee -BBC "correctness" indeed.
May still succeed on starpower of the cast, apparently other people watch things because their favorite stars are in them. I prefer to watch things because they're good AND respect the original source material.
