The Most Overrated Actor/Actress

Bedfordblue said:
Though was good and played nuanced characters in all of Scarface, Heat, Carlitos Way, Devils Advocate.
Not even seen the one he won an Oscar for.
His latest efforts have certainly been quite obviously for his bank balance but fair play I guess.

theres not many actors could do what he was able to tbf.

Enjoyed a couple of those at the time and Donnie brasco but if I rewatch I just see this insane overacting.

Basically, the character is supposed to be a cokehead

So It Turns Out Al Pacino’s 'Heat' Character Was a Coke Fiend

And other revelations from the movie's 20th anniversary screening

Bit pointless if it isn't even slightly mentioned in the final cut

Pacino doesn't over act in the Godfather I & II.
Three doesn't exist because it is a sin to all cinema, not just the two it ruins.
'Scarecrow' is worth a watch (1973, with Gene Hackman who is just great in a lot of what he does)
'Glengarry Glen Ross'
'Serpico'
'Panic in needle park'
'You don't know Jack'.

Hey! hang on a minute, why the pile on against a real top actor, there's dopes like coppola, statham, seagal, sandler, travolta, affleck, diesel, carrey, and a few notable others to rightly chastise. Like those nouveau nerds that slap themselves on the back and call the Beatles crap.

I recently had to educate myself on PC components after the boy's PC died and a new build became my problem. So, to Reddit, Youtube, Tom's Hardware forums etc.

It turns out every cpu, gpu, psu, ram, motherboard, by all manufacturers, are crap. All unreliable, prone to catastrophic error and to be avoided at all costs.

Also, all bike manufacturers are crap and there are no good mountain bikes.

TV's by Sony, Samsung, LG, Philips, Hisense, TCL, Panasonic and any other manufacturer you can think of are all crap. Every type of panel, UI, processing etc. is crap.

And likewise, every actor/actress is crap, overrated, underrated and outstanding simultaneously.

You can add in every footballer as well.
 
- Nicholas Cage
- Jack Nicholson (always played Jack) and Al Pacino (late career
- Al Pacino post ‘Scent of a woman’ where all he seems to do is yell - although that worked well in Devils Advocate)

Oh and an honourable mention to the one and only Kirk Lazarus

IMHO, he ruined Kubrick's, 'The Shining'.

The basic premise of the film is that Jack Torrence is slowly turned mad by the hotel.

Jack turns up for the initial interview already acting deranged.

Yeah the book was brill, the movie was ok. King famously didn’t like the movie as it didn’t show a genuinely troubled and caring man descending into darkness, the movies showed Jack Torrence as instantly dislikable in the first few scenes. The book’s characterisation of Jack Torrence was really sad.

I disagree with Tom Cruise. He’s doing what he loves, which is being a barm pot and pulling off mad stunts. I’d argue the last few Mission: Impossible films have been some of the best action movies in the past decade.

I want to see him play a crazy character (basically himself) again before he retires, in Magnolia he was fantastic, probably my favourite performance from him

Will Smith on the other hand is a horrible try hard who always goes for the Oscar bait' pull on your heart strings' roles.

I liked his performance in Magnolia but I thought his most understated performance was in Rainman. Hoffman won all the awards but you saw Cruise’s character journey in Rainman and I thought his performance was subtle.
