Overrated Actors/Actresses

[WhiteMamba]

I don't know who you are. I don't know how you can think that. If you are trolling, I can tell you I don't believe it. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you praise Neesons greatness, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will force you be a Gamecocks fan.

Whoever thumbs down'd this is a fuddyduddy...

Man I dont know. I really like all his movies. The Grey was hella cool. Survival outdoor movie, you would like it edisto. Its fairly new (6 months) since DVD release. Check it out. Good flick.

Eric Bana should have gotten every role the Hugh Jackman has and he would have done much much better.

I think he is a fantastic actor! I don't hate Hugh Jackman I just think Bana is a better version of him. Chopper was amazing.

Russell Brand

more of a comedian, but he has a couple movies

Meh, haven't seen him as the actual main character, but as a supporting role (Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall as the first examples that come to my head), I like his character.

I also think Liev Schrieber is very underrated.

Eric Bana is insanely underrated as an actor. Really wish he was in more stuff.

He also writes his own movies (which tend to be really good). That makes him about ten times more talented than most actors in Hollywood. Plus, he isn't highly regarded at all.

The most overrated actor is Daniel Day-Lewis. It's not because he is a bad actor. He is a quite good actor, maybe top ten in the world. His problem is that he gets ridiculous praise for every part, even when they are unspectacular. Look at Lincoln...he played a guy whose nobody has ever heard. He had an accent that didn't remotely resemble a Midwest accent. He acted like a bumbling fool for most of the movie. He gets one good monologue and it is suddenly a "legendary performance." He's had one truly legendary performance (There Will Be Blood), and even that was a shitty movie. Gangs of New York was good, but he outshone by Liam Neeson, much like Tommy Lee Jones stole the screen from him in Lincoln. When you are only in one movie every five years and you get outshone in 2/3 of them, you aren't the Best Actor of your generation. The best actor alive today is Michael Shannon, so DDL can't possibly live up to his reputation.

Other overrated actors, IMO, are Sean Penn, Russell Crowe, Michael Caine (in old age...much less so when he was younger), and Kevin Spacey.

only one i agree with

and Lincoln was from Kentucky

Hanna was one of the best films of 2011.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Where would Colin Ferrell fall? Under or over? or meh?

 

[bocomo007]

John Wayne... Overrated... yea I said it.
