Idris Elba would have been PERFECT. I am displeased.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm trying to think who could possibly be worse casting for that role. I'm drawing a blank.
Cuba Gooding?
Chris Tucker?
No. Still not as wrong-headed.
This has got to be a publicity stunt...or else, that guy really has made a deal with the devil.
Or Rob Cohen did and the devil just came collecting.

Is Let Me In worth watching if I loved Let the Right One In?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What if I didn't?

Maybe?
As Jilli pointed out, Let Me In is plotted more tightly. No trips to the country for the boy to visit his dad.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Don't bother anyway...it wasn't good. Somber and ponderous and no fun.
Erika, normally I love you. But me and two other people...I don't know who, but I know there aren't many...are going to stand over here in the "Actually, I liked Superman Returns" corner and frown disapprovingly.
I don't know who Idris Elba is, and I know this isn't much, but Tyler Perry wasn't bad for his four lines in Star Trek the Star Trek. For what that's worth.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I remember that I enjoyed Superman Returns when I saw it but right now I can't point to why and I know if I try to rewatch it (post Pilgrim & Chuck) it'll just be funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MiracleMan, your entire post is heathen heresy.
