Ben Kingsley is a great actor, but his presence is not a universal indicator of a good movie (most recently, see Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time). And I just saw that the director, Gavin Hood, is responsible for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Edit: Ninja'd by Jedi Master by 4 seconds!

Ok, I wasn't going to go there, but since JMark brought it up, here's a list of some of Kingsley's "accomplishments":

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
The Love Guru
BloodRayne
A Sound of Thunder

So, like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing before him, his presence in a film is not an indicator of the film's quality.

He's South African, and so was that film.

No Harrison on that particular list.
Kingsley is the war hero . . . I can buy that.
I haven't seen the Butterfield kid in anything, but his credentials look good.

I wonder what they are holding out in IMDB PRO.

Well, Ender . . . he leads the long defunct Dragon Army . . . so I guess you could call him Dragonborn.
