I don’t know what the deal with George Clooney is. Apart from Ocean’s Eleven I can’t think of another good movie he’s been in.

Give me your most overrated actor that somehow is critically acclaimed.
Mine is Sean Penn. Apart from being an arrogant douche that beats women, his acting is pretty shit.
Dude just mumbles his lines and acts surprised at random shit.

Yo what?
Syriana
The Descendants
Out of sight
Burn after Reading
Monuments men (I loved it)

From Dusk Till Dawn.
I didn’t care for it but ER catapulted him into fame.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Hard disagree. His acting is boring. His characters are boring. His movies are boring.

George is very popular because he’s handsome and a really nice guy.
I liked him in Solaris.

I respect your opinion but disagree.
Gotta love freedom of speech 😁

Anthony Hopkins.
he did one really good role where he actually seemed to do some acting, Dr Kellog, and he was passable in Elephant man. Everything else he was very ordinary.
Al Pacino. I just don’t understand the hype.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Wow.
That’s controversial as hell, and probably justified.
His Hannibal lector was great, and honestly he was great as Odin in the Marvel flicks.
World’s fastest Indian was a treat too
Apart form that I can’t remember seeing him in many flicks, but his performances have always been memorable.
Great pick for this silly question.

His Hannibal lector was great,
ordinary
it’s easy to play a killer but he did not play a psychopath, he didn’t give the creeps at all
it was a movie with great stills and a few good lines
memorable lines just means a good writer
ok, he was ok in 22 Charing Cross Road.

Anthony was real good in The Two Popes as well!

The only good film I’ve seen Al Pacino in was The Devil’s Advocate
spoilers for The Devil's Advocate
He does The Devil extremely well!

Dwayne the rock.
j. Statham to an extent
Julia Roberts to an extent (probably won’t win that argument though).
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I mean… Rock and Statham play the same roles each time. And neither are really acclaimed as actors.
Roberts is interesting. I think she’s great but hasn’t done anything significant since the late 90s, acting wise.
However, she’s a solid performer.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 week ago
neither are really acclaimed
Heh that is true.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Could lump in Vin Diesel with them too lol!

oooooh I have a soft spot for Pitch Black (2000). Probs the only one he’s in though heh. Filmed mainly in aus too!
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I love Pitch Black! And I have a big soft spot for Chronicles as well haha

Gal Gadot - she can’t act, every line is said without feeling, and she has no emotion. It always feels like I’m watching Gal, and not the character she’s portraying.
If it has to be a male actor though, then Brad Pitt. He says his lines with emotion, but I can never see the character he’s meant to be - just Brad Pitt being Brad Pitt
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Gadot is a god dam plank of wood. Treated pine at best.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Fkn ey!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 week ago
No arguments about Gadot. If she wasn’t a knockout, she’d be nothing.
Brad Pitt is interesting actually. Perhaps his fame has overshadowed his acting, cause he’s got some chops.
I think he’s great, but not Oscar calibre. I do enjoy his movies though.
And he can take the piss too (Deadpool 2)

No lie, Brad Pitt has been in heaps of my fav movies (Interview with a Vampire, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Ocean’s 11, World War Z, etc), but I always just see Brad Pitt - it’s hard for me to see past the actor.
He’s good at what he does (even if he is a piece of shit human), but he doesn’t melt into a role the way, say, Gary Oldman does.
