RE: Brando fit the short story writer's creation, perfectly. When a role called for it,

Brando was in the film for a few minutes. The movie is a significant piece of work aside from Brando. On a first view, it was a disappointment to me because of the pace and script. I had no problem with Sheen and felt that his perhaps less than heavyweight persona was perfect for his role -- just as Charlie was good for the role of "Bud" Fox. It seemed to me that the character was supposed to have some innocence.
On subsequent viewings, I've really enjoyed the movie for the photography, the ideas and the characters. Brando's character was iconic, but it didn't make the movie for me. I've enjoyed some of his work, but never ooh'd and aah'd over his so called great presence.
