Top 10 Character Transformations in Movies


in a good movie a character needs to
change and evolve these movies take that
idea to a new level
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie transformations boy don’t do that
for this list we’re focusing on movies
that feature a character undergoing an
impressive on-screen
physical transformation and if you’re
also interested in the changes some
actors go through when they gain or drop
weight for a role check out our video of
the top 10 actor body transformations
our goal is to create the best army in
history number 10
weakling – warrior Captain America the
First Avenger again this week we will
choose that man it will be the first in
a new breed of super-soldier Captain
America wasn’t always Captain America he
started out as Steve Rogers a scrawny
sickly little guy who was soundly
rejected for military service in World
War two sorry son look just give me a
chance you’ll be ineligible on your
asthma alone is there anything you can
do I’m doing it seven your life
determined to help the Allied cause
Rogers volunteers for a highly
experimental super soldier program
some of its good it but you know what
they say no pain no gain
however we’d say it was worth it in this
case with results that have to be seen
to be believed
who the hell are you the first of many
cut off one head two more shall take its
place
get Klump in here now number nine
changing for the ladies the Nutty
Professor bonus quoting the 1996 version
of the Nutty Professor is full of
transformations in okay take a mighty
boat after all Eddie Murphy’s sherman
klump as well as most of the other
members of the Klump family are played
by a very much transformed Murphy you
know your brother man you don’t work out
the next Shire
let me hello mother Oh in fact I’m a
little bill he’s a little Hercules but
it’s the moments when clumsy affable
sherman klump metamorphosis into suave
smooth buddy love that take the prize in
this hilarious double identity comedy
diamond don’t do this you need back
don’t ask
do you Belle Glover back fella wait
somehow better call an exorcist number
eight good truck better hero
transformers are you Samuel James with
wiki descendent of Archibald Witwicky
yeah my name is Optimus Prime
if the Nutty Professor was full of
transformations then transformers is jam
packed to overflowing with them after
all the movie is based on toys that
change from one form to another they all
make an impact but there’s nothing quite
like the moment when Optimus Prime and
the other Autobots make their real
selves known to Shia LaBeouf and Megan
Fox
it’s almost like this is the reason CGI
was invented by bumblebee
stop lubricating the number seven big
green guy the Incredible Hulk and the
Avengers
amiri opera controller meadow am
Iroquois except OFAC pratiwi 10 jo se-ho
M Quatro a suppose we read it’s not
Bruce banners fault that getting him
angry turns him from a reasonable
likable guy into a rampaging monster
with anger management issues
that’s just what happens when a guy gets
stuck in the middle of a deadly
gamma-ray explosion I don’t get a suit
of armor I’m exposed like a nerve it’s a
nightmare
as inconvenient as it may be for banner
audiences are thrilled with his split
personality problem and the
transformation sequence is always a
highlight of any film that features the
Incredible Hulk that’s my secret Ken I’m
always angry
number six
Reid makes the golem the Lord of the
Rings The Return of the King what what
golem is one of the most fascinating
characters in the whole Lord of the
Rings trilogy more precious and Peter
Jackson brilliantly shows the lengthy
transformation from the normal Hobbit
Smeagol to the creepy Gollum as he’s
corrupted by the power of the one ring
letting the audience observe the
startling change over a lengthy passage
of time rather than in one moment we’ll
roll for calm
the effect is excruciating
yet thrilling and the viewer feels he’s
part of the painful process the hell are
we
number five don’t mess with mystique the
x-men franchise you know people like you
or the reason I was afraid to go to
school as a child the mutant known as
mystique is a shapeshifter
so her entire screen career is about
transformations impersonating Wolverine
magneto a United States Senator Jean
Grey whoever’s at hand
sometimes using her powers to manipulate
others sometimes using them just to mess
with people’s minds mystique is a vital
ally of magneto mr. Irish has been dead
for some time senator but I’ve had
mystique here can Duchovny she takes so
many shapes picking one single
transformation as the most impressive is
impossible it’s the cumulative effect
that really counts here then why not
stay in disguise all the time you know
look like everyone else cuz we shouldn’t
have to number for pulling himself
together Terminator 2 Judgment Day
Kissin the t1000 is the ultimate killing
machine designed to be unstoppable it
can take the form of just about anything
making it a true master of disguise must
be bad lucky day
throughout t2 the t1000 takes on a range
of identities and shapes get out
but the most memorable occurs after he
has seemingly been blasted into a
million molten pieces hasta la vista
baby
but then manages to reform
number three leaving while still ahead
the thing was that
then a man
whatever it is they burn it up in a
hurry John Carpenter’s The Thing is
about an alien creature that physically
mimics other life forms the film has its
most memorable moment when a doctor is
operating on a body which turns out to
be the creature
their grotesque imagery involving teeth
where they are never meant to be and a
metamorphosis into ahead with spidery
legs is nightmare inducing in the best
possible way
you’ve gotta be kidding kill it with
fire Kurt Russell kill it with fire
that’s disgusting
number two a lengthy evolution the fly
no really what is it
psyche hairs I don’t know I said
happens when you get older where yeah
configurations uh-huh marry like course
in the original version of the fly the
creation of the title character took
place in an instant you’ll be alright
now I know in David Cronenberg’s
amazingly reimagined version the viewer
watches as Jeff Goldblum scientist is
slowly ravaged by the effects of his
experiment no compassion no compromise
we can’t trust the insect the
transformation takes the bulk of the
film’s running time and every dropping
tooth and every piece of skin turning
floppy and gooey is shown in horrifying
if fascinating detail
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions please you gotta
help the Amell call it beetle call
anybody
those
number one from man to wolf painfully an
American Werewolf in London
ever since Lon Chaney jr. donned fur and
fangs in the Wolfman while more recent
screen wolves such as Harry Potter’s
Remus Lupin carry on a lycanthrope ik
tradition the top prize for movie
transformations remains that in John
Landis’s and American Werewolf in London
I didn’t mean it call you meatloaf Jack
we always knew changing into a wolf had
to be uncomfortable but this film showed
us just how involved and how intensely
painful that transformation could be
do you agree with our choices what other
miraculous movie transformations should
