Most overrated actor ever

Then you have not seen U.S. Marshalls with Tommy Lee Jones

 

He was good in Weird Science, Johnny B Good, Less Than Zero, Soapdish and Back to School. Everything else? Ehh. Still, five pretty good performances is more than some people in Hollywood.

 

In those movies, he was a kid playing Brat Pack formula roles, except for Less Than Zero, where he played a role that most anyone could ham it up for. He's has some good performances, for sure, but overrated, IMO.

 

Dammit, Pacino is on someone's overrated list? WTF?

The guy's done good work for the past three decades. Yeah, he's tossed some shit out there, but hey, we all gotta eat.

Same goes for Tom Hanks. Good God, how the hell do you criticize Hanks? The guy's won three Oscars (should've been four) and he's dished out very few pitiful performances.

Also, you can't criticize a guy for playing the same character over and over. Because you know as well as I do that the first time that guy attempts a different character, everybody in the world will blast his ass for being unbelievable. At least give actors like Michael Douglas credit for knowing their limits.

And I've changed my list to move Gere to the top. The guy's horrible. You ever watched him attempt to cry in a movie? (Unfaithful) It's like watching a little kid throw a tantrum. It's both painful and funny at the same time.

There are very few actors who you can count on to never mail it in, no matter the role. Johnny Depp immediately comes to mind. But at the same time, every actor has a handful of movies that they'd prefer everyone forget.

 

Flicks in which Nick Cage was great:

Birdy
Leaving Las Vegas
Matchstick Men
Raising Arizona
Moonstruck
Honeymoon In Vegas
Guarding Tess

That's a pretty stout resume, and it certainly earns him a pass for his godawful "Peggy Sue" performance.
Which, for the record, was Coppola's fault.
Because FFC should have had the good sense to shut that down.

 

Moonstruck? He was hideous in that. Everyone else was great, but Cage sounded like he was reading from cue cards.

 

OK, now you've done it. Meet me out front of the saloon at High Noon and we'll settle this.

 

OK, I'm told they are actors, but...

I've never understood the appeal of Marlon Brando OR Rod Steiger.... does that count?


Twoback will be waiting for you.. .if there's a crowd and you're not sure who he is, just yell "I'm here to meet John Doe."

 

Just watched Reaves' performance in "Hardball" on TBS. Painful. Adam Sandler -- not funny over and over and over again. Terrible

 

Sandler may be the biggest head-scratcher.

A comedian who is not funny.

An actor who can't act.

A movie star who ain't even good looking.

But his movies make money.

 

kids love him. he's a way likeable guy. kids love him, adults take their kids, movies make righteous bucks. what's the mystery?

 

The world has laid untold riches at Sandler's feet for his ability to pull off a decent baby voice.

He sucks.
