The Most Overrated Actor/Actress

[frank rizzo]

I ain’t seen one Forest film where I’ve thought he wasn’t weak personally. He reminds me of when musicians try to become actors. Like a Jamie Foxx.

Absolutely awful, one dimensional 'actor'. Zero range, the exact same presence in every role he's ever played.

Is Daniel Day Lewis really that good too?

TLOTM
My beautiful laundrette
In the name of the father <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
My left foot
There will be blood
The boxer
Lincoln

Quite remarkable taste for picking his projects.

Nah I’ve seen a fair few or Forest films. Again: Good film does not = good actor.

Pick out 3 weak performances and why then.

Pick out 3 weak performances and why then.

Black Panther: overacting, awful.
Repo Men: overacting on an intentionally larger than life character, awful.
Rogue One: overacting, strange accent, awful.

3 films I absolutely love he’s crap in. There you go.

Why do you like these three films so?

A genuinely overrated one for me, Kenneth Branagh.

Henry V?
Shackleton?

Away with yees!

Because they’re great films to me. Not that the quality of the film matters. Think you’re still struggling to differentiate film quality and actor quality.

Nicholas Cage innit

Shhh, he aint here yet.

His role as Big Harold in Platoon was excellent. He was good in a supporting role in Good Morning Vietnam. He was good in Last King of Scotland. He did a good bit of voice work in Where the Wild Things Are. But he's got 135 acting credits on IMDB.

Henry V?
Shackleton?

Shakespeare is for people who sniff their own farts. It's acting for other actors to fawn over.
