Most Overrated/Underrated Actors

[Lockecole7]

Under:
Christian Bale
Denzel Washington
Mark Wahlberg
Leonardo DiCaprio
Jim Carrey
Willem Dafoe
Daniel Craig
Viggo Mortensen

I can't recall any other movies or recognition for Jared Leto aside from Alexander and him being in 30 Seconds From Mars , someone enlighten me as to their reasons for naming him? It's been a while since seeing Alexander, but I think it was too long for me that everything lost its shine somewhere along the movie.

edit: added a few~

he was Paul Allen in American Psyco and the blonde dude in Fight Club, havent seen alexander, does he get owned in that role too?

Uhhh Requiem for a Dream? Not really sure how anyone who has lived and watched a single movie in their life hasn't seen that. Regardless of them thinking its good or not.

There's more but I can't think of them atm.

Actually, he doesn't look like Wolverine. Wolverine is short and ugly, Jackman is tall and smoking hot.

I'd reply with a simple "yes", but I don't know that word fully encapsulates the sheer amount of panting, rabid, brbislafap that I'd like to imply.

He'd be all over you too, well, I mean if you were a dude.

Why do you gotta go for the low-blow like that, man.

Regarding Michael Douglas, he has the unfortunate habit of acting like his father, who ranks up there with Victor Mature (seriously, image search this guy) for the title of "Ol' Agony Face". He always comes off to me as still trying to be the sex symbol he was regarded as in his younger years, instead of coming into that elder statesmen-type sexy that many older actors pull off so well.

Underrated:
Jack Black

/gag

The fact that he acts the same way that he sings in 100% of his movie roles is annoying beyond belief.

Underrated:
Gene Wilder

FUCK YEAH !!

Underrated: Tone Loc.






All kidding aside, I stay away from shit that has Keanu Reeves in it. Outside of the fucking Matrix he fucking sucks imho.

LOL Tone Loc........and as for Keanu, I like him. Was good in the Bill and Ted's, obviously the Matrix series. Imo, he was fantastic in Constantine. I never saw his most recent one, The Lake House (I think it was...with Sandra Bullock..). I didn't care for him in Speed though, and he was decent in The Devil's Advocate....I'd place him on the underrated list.

For the talk of Leonardo DiCaprio, many years ago I thought he was just some overrated pretty boy that all the ladies loved, as I've grown older I've come to appreciate his work and would put him in the underrated category. With the exception of The Beach, most of his work was really good....he was great in The Basketball Diaries as well as Romeo and Juliet, and well of course Titanic....which I gave in after years of boycotting and watched it on TBS.

Mentioned, and adding to it: overrated, Steven Seagul AND Jean Claude Van Dam.....my god, I can't stand either of them.....talk about type casting roles.

Ah, that's right! gg, so many movies I have to find time to watch again. As for his role in Alexander, iirc, he just kind of got sick and died.

Over rated - Steven Seagal, I fucking hate this guy so much.

Hahahahaha..... Steven Segal, the guy that plays the same god damned role in EVERY movie. Hardly Overrated though, do people even take him seriously these days?

[-Zer0-]

Now that he's a singer, it's possible

But I gotta say, Huge Jackman is a terrible actor, sure he looks like Wolverine, but he's just not very good at acting in my opinion.

I strongly disagree, but thats probably because I've seen him in roles beyond film. Saw him in "The Boy from Oz" on Broadway and he was just amazing in it.

[Bweigelt]

As far as overrated actors: Pretty much every American I've seen on-screen under the age of 25.

Ryan Gossling??? please tell me you've never watched any of his work.

Just thought I'd point out Ryan Gossling is neither american nor under 25 so his point still stands.

[Amarok]

Obviously he plays the same roll in most of his movies but I thought Steve Carell was pretty good in Dan In Real Life and Little Miss Sunshine.

Underrated:
Jack Black

Too each his own, in my opinion his acting is highly underrated because he's always considered a comedian actor, I can't wait to see Be Kind Rewind.

[thetruepandagod]

Daniel Day-Lewis and Eric Bana(munich) hands down my favorite underrated actors.

Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf, Eric Lensherr)
Ben Foster (The Punisher, guy with all the shit in his face, 30 days of night, Angel in XMen3)

Anyone put down Robin Williams?

If so then ignore this post but if they haven't look at him in Good Will Hunting, Insomnia, One Hour Photo, all amazing.

[Xavier]

Williams in Good Will Hunting was such a great performance.
