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.

Agreed... can't stand Daniel Day Lewis because he goes overboard for every part and gets tons of praise even if the movie sucks and he isn't believable... I loved shows like John Adams on HBO... but thought Lincoln was a snooze fest...

I would just like to reiterate, that whoever said Depp is overrated, is a jealous homo.

Depp could've starred in Barney the movie and he'd still be a badass, cuz of Fear and Loathing alone.

Tangential.....Terry Guillam may be the most underrated director ever...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail...possibly the greatest comedy of all time.
The Fisher King....dang good flick
12 Monkeys.....absolutely awesome show

I love Bull Durham and Wyatt Earp.

check out Open Range

 

[bocomo007]

Snatch, fight club are his two best performances I believe.

how about Kalifornia?

I thin Brad Pitt is great, and has been in/chose great movies, save for maybe 7 years in tibet, which was a snooze fest, Pitt has been in some great movies, and excelled in them as well.

He was brilliant/on acid in 12 monkeys.

Yes indeed. Pitt is not overrated. Might even be a little underrated.
