Downey was great in Less Than Zero.

 

Other than that? I'm with you, doesn't impress me much.

he was chaplin, then he was a drug loss.

Wing Commander was watchable and loved starship troopers

 

A WoT fan worried about how tWoT would be adapted should HATE Starship Troopers, which entirely changed the message of the book.

And not having read the book I can't comment on that, unlike The Power Of One which I have read

DiCaprio's only decent role was in the J. Edgar Hoover flick. That one was okay. The rest? Trash.

 

What about Blood Diamond or The Departed? I thought those movies were phenomenal.

See, I still see those as De'caprio still being de'caprio, playing the same ol' type-cast role over and over again. (same with inception) But hoover? That was a complete 180 turn from a type cast type role. To me, that movie showed he wasn't just a face for the ladies, and good at acting as himself but actually has some acting talent going on.

 

Side note.

Robert Downey Junior?

I'm not quite convinced he's as good at acting as they say he is.Sure he makes a great Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, but they are... very similar characters.

And his other movie... with galafacasus?(sp).. Sucked, Didn't even really care for Robert Downey Junior in that either.

 

Tropic Thunder. I don't see the character connection between Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes though. Thought he played the latter rather brilliantly.

I think he might be refering to the arrogance of the characters, both are smug and self assured characters which assume they are correct

It was still an enjoyable movie though

And I'd also argue that a fair few of the core themes were retained

You just gotta dig a little deeper to find them in the movie

Speaking of actors that seem to always play the same character

Jason Statham and Johnny Depp

 

Almost every movie JT stars in is just a generic action flick where JT gets some guns and shoots'em up

They're ALL the same

 

Johnny Depp's movies on the other hand are different but that's kind of the problem

They're too different

They're usually just weird

JD always plays in these really eccentric and weird roles in movies

There's a couple exceptions but really I'm so tired of both of these actors doing the same thing over and over

Yep. Gotta agree on this.

 

And yes, I still enjoyed Iron Man and Sherlock but I'dreally want to see Him play a role he hasn't played before.. In that one with his wife giving birth with that comedian... I feel he fell flat on his face. And I really can't think of any other movies I've seen him in, besdies those 3.. and Tropic Thunder. (loved that movie)

Chaplin was good I thought. So was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Depp's problem is he can't stop doing Tim Burton movies. Typecasts himself too much as the eccentric weirdo.

Loved Statham in Snatch, but I think that was the only movie that he's starred in that I've actually thoroughly enjoyed.

 

Oh and another movie to add to Worst Movies.

 

Forbidden Kingdom. Jet Li and Jackie Chan are like my childhood heroes but... SMH.

Well it is a thin line between entertaining and boring for some of those movies.

 

And Snatch was awesome to begin with so it made the people in it look awesome

i like him in the expendables movies (Statham)

edit: Oh and the 2nd Indiana Jones movie, just because of that annoying little kid.

....dude

 

Short Round made that movie

 

Haha, just came up with the connection that Short Round is a mini Jar Jar. Always knew they were both annoying but never made that last step. :p

There needs to be a thread somewhere for confessing unpopular opinions

 

I'll start here though

 

I don't hate Jar Jar Binks

You are dead to me.

Take a couple shots

You'll get over it

speaking of drinking one of my favorite youtubers said something worthy of quoting recently

 

lol

Time Bandits. I hate that movie.

I thought it was ok but I definitely hated the ending

The only movie I have ever got up and walked out of was Bridges of Madison County. Good thing my date fallowed me out. Turned out to be a great evening. Boooooring movie though, and I don't mind chick flicks.
