They might have well have casted Billy Idol as Rayden

If they were gonna dress him like a bad eighties rockstar, and give him short spikey albino hair...Billy Idol anyone?

My inner mark would come busting out if they would've played "Mony Mony" during the final battle sequence. That would ALMOST make this thing worth watching.

The only problem with that is Billy Idol is an immortal '80's rock GOD, and he wasn't willing to pretend to give up his immortality status like Rayden had to in the movie. It would've been too painful for him.

I just saw this movie and thought the same thing. Every time they do a close up of Raiden I thought of Billy.
