Dicaprio is probably the more accurate, but even then he has his share of meh movies. Cage is also pretty accurate, he is really good when the role fits his style, otherwise he is so cringe. His acting in Pig is incredible.
Depp is IMO super overrated. He was really good in Fear and Loathing, Donnie Brasco or Edward Scissorhands, but since Pirates of the Caribbean he mostly played some variations of Jack Sparrow.
Sandler is actually a fucking good actor, but he always chooses the lazy way out. His acting in Punch Drunk Love or Uncut Gems is phenomenal and it pisses me off that he wastes his talent in some shitty comedies.
Reeves is not a “bad actor”, but he sure is emotionless so I feel like most of the time he does not fit. However, his style is why he fits so well in a role like John Wick.
iirc sandlers after filming 50 first dates he treat his movies like extended vacation with friends. he’s not bad just vibing
Adam Sandler is really interesting because it seems like he mostly takes low-effort roles that are basically just paid vacations for him and his friends, then once every 10 years or so he drops an absolute banger just to remind everyone he can, then goes back to having fun again.
Emotionless. Have you seen Bill and Ted?
(I haven’t in decades, imagine they didn’t hold up that well)
Keanu can do either dude bro, or stone cold badass. It’s why he actually worked well as Johnny Silverhand, a stone cold dude bro.
Reeves’ “style” is his bad acting.
Adam Sandler is a great actor in more serious roles, but his comedy is pretty cringe. I love Happy Gilmore.
The ending of Click really threw me for a loop.
I think he’s also quite good in uncut gems, but my opinion isn’t final. I only made it through 35 minutes of the movie so far and am still recovering from the stress eight months later.
Punch Drunk Love is great, and it came from watching his other movies and pulling on an underlying unexplored thread.
Except he’s not a bad actor. He’s the only good part of the bad movies he’s in. I’d argue he’s one of the best actors.
If you’re talking cage yes he’s a good actor. Keanu is straight up a terrible actor
yes, I was talking about Cage. I like Keanu, don’t get me wrong, he’s great at performing action choreography, but no, he is not a good actor.
Cage, on the other hand, I don’t think I have ever seen that man not give a role his all.
What else would a good actor do?
Sidenote: I think Face Off is a perfect embodiment of this sentiment. An objectively terrible movie with a monumentally dumb premise, and his acting is what takes it from unwatchable to downright fun.
yes! literally, exactly!!
may i suggest…Ghost Rider 2?
Cage gives 100% whether the role needs it or not and that’s why I love him.
Depp is not a good actor. I was willing to overlook a lot, until I saw that fucker trying to dig a hole in a perfume ad. Worst.Acting.Ever.
But what about Chacolat…
Depp does not do good films?
Opinions are entirely subjective. Only you can answer that for yourself.
I think he’s like most long-time actors. He’s had some great roles that wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good had someone else done it, and he’s had “meh” and flops.
You can’t act for 40-ish years and not have a mixed bag.
What is the criteria for being a bad actor, exactly? Being loved by viewers? Being repeatedly cast into roles? Being iconic? Being successful? Having worldwide renown?
I’m a bit lost here.
I wasn’t wearing my glasses and I thought it was all Cage
