What are some of the best and worst recasts in movie (and TV) history?

One of my favorites has gotta be Lena Headey as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series. Not as badass as Linda Hamilton, but very true to the character in her own right.

Not sure if this counts since it's a different continuity, but I loved Robert Pattinson's take on Bruce Wayne. He was totally different from everyone we've seen before him, but in a way that still "feels" right. Add in Mads Mikkelsen from the Hannibal TV series taking on the role Anthony Hopkins once played - that one may be #1 actually.

Now for the worst...I'm drawing a blank at the moment. What do y'all think?

Edit: Already realized my own answer - Stuart Townsend as Lestat in Queen of the Damned.
