I haven't seen an Alan Cumming performance that I haven't liked yet. In Josie and the Pussycats, I thought he did a dispicable job of being a manipulative talent manager. Dispicable in that I loved hating his character.

I liked in GoldenEye how he was a "bad-guy" but he still gave the character a quirky computer-geek charm that made you like him, even though you knew Bond would eventually have to do something about him.

X2 is my favorite performance of his. The only two other times I'd seen him he's been very outspoken and always flashing a big toothy grin. Who knew he also play a quiet and reclusive character to perfection? Certainly not I! But he amazed me in X2.

O/T: Its my first Film Class post, so I tried as best I could to avoid the "he was good in this" and "he was great in this" lines.
