    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.

      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

        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.

      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.

      Dwayne the rock.

      j. Statham to an extent

      Julia Roberts to an extent (probably won’t win that argument though).

      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.

        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.
