As the title suggests, Michael Fassbender's character Burke was so much better (More entertaining and interesting) than John Malkovich's and Josh Brolin's! - His Crazy laugh in Lailah's room actually made my laugh quite a bit :-)- But his part was pittifully small and although I did like this film (No- I'm not crazy or joking) I think that he should have had a bigger part. I found that he drew my attention whereas the other two did not. I always thought he was a great acter but I think that he really stood out in this film and that should have been enhanced by a larger roleEspecially as when he is killed by Jonah Hex, I hadn't even realised that Hex knew it was Burke who set fire to the house, or even noticed until the flash back a few minutes before! He's a great actor (Loved loved loved him in X-Men) and this role was not even really a supporting role (Total screen time of about 10 minutes?)
With regards to other characters and actors, Megan Fox was suprisingly good! I actually really liked her in this more than when she was in transformers.
But Fassbender gets my vote!

Burke and his crazy side would have been a better villain, IMO. Fassbender can pull off that stuff really well. He had an air of unpredictability and menace, which lacked at times with Malkovich's performance. Though he had little screen time, there intriguing flashes - the extensive tattoos, his fascination with the knife and explosives. Whoever was in charge of costuming also paid fair attention to his clothing.
