People give this guy a bad rap because of Titanic. He was great in that. No, the dialogue wasn't always, or even often that good, but that didn't mean he didn't do a great job with what he had to work with. Even so, take Titanic out of the picture and you still have: Inception Gangs of New York The Aviator Revolutionary Road Catch Me If You Can The Basketball Diaries What's Eating Gilbert Grape Blood Diamond And there are other movies that weren't necessarily as great, like The Beach or The Departed, that still had great acting from him. I'm sorry, but Leonardo DiCaprio can ACT. You didn't like "The Departed?" There wasn't a bad performance in that movie. I'm sure the performances were great, but I can't remember them because I didn't really care for the movie that much... and I love Scorsese! Maybe I need to see it again. I remember it being stylish, but was bummed that pretty much everyone got killed, and I don't know, it just didn't do it for me like so many of his movies have. I thought it was kind of a shame that Scorsese finally won best director for THAT movie, when there are several he's done that are so much better. It's like when Pacino won best actor for Scent of a Woman or Denzel Washington won it for Training Day - both were in SO many far, far better movies, Pacino especially.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Keanu Reeves. He has got to be the King of Incompetency. Shia Lebouf could be the Prince of Incompetency. And I don't know what has happened to Nick Cage. He used to be good. Nicolas Cage is still good, he just is often in crap movies. He was great in the National Treasure movies, even though the movies themselves were a bit spotty at times - they were still fun. Keanu Reeves is not the best actor of all time by a long shot, but often for what's required of him he does a fine job, like in Parenthood and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Devil's Advocate. And the first Matrix is one of my favorite films ever - no, he's not the best actor on the planet, but I never watch The Matrix and wish it was someone else playing the part - I think he does a fine job - far better than just serviceable. I think often people don't like some of these actors because either they're often in bad movies (which doesn't make them bad actors), or they don't like them personally (which still doesn't make them bad actors). Take Tom Cruise. Is he obnoxious? Yeah, he definitely can be for sure. That doesn't mean the 10-12 movies he was brilliant in from the 80's and 90's are suddenly bad movies or that his performances all of the sudden suck. How do you explain The Wicker Man? The original was an excellent film. Cage made the remake into a ridiculous mess with some very strange ham acting... Never saw it. No desire to see it. Loved the original. You can't just ignore bad performances by saying oh I've no desire to see the movie and then try and say these actors only give good performances... I have to see every movie a person has ever been in to make a statement that someone is or isn't a good or great actor? Nicolas Cage has been in a LOT of movies I've seen. Some are good or great - Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, Peggy Sue Got Married, Valley Girl, The Cotton Club, The Family Man, National Treasure. Some were ok - Weather Man, Knowing, Next, Wild At Heart, The Family Man, the 2nd National Treasure. Some sucked - Honeymoon in Vegas, Guarding Tess, City of Angels, Con Air, Snake Eyes and worst of all, the horrendously overrated and stupid Face/Off. That's 21 movies - sorry I didn't see the one you wanted me to see to prove your point. Seriously though, after 21 movies (that I can recall), I can safely say he's a great actor. I don't like all the movies, and sometimes when I don't like the movies I don't even remember his performance (like Con Air for example), but I never recall seeing him where I thought he was doing a bad job, just that sometimes the role sucked and/or the movie sucked. Don't forget the piece of trash "Ghost Rider" films. I am agreeing with stuff with you, goober. Cage is actually a very underrated actor. And the Pianist is an AMAZING movie. But actresses I'm about to destroy are Jennifer Anniston, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
