For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Anthony Mackie.

He has a face that is simultaneously smug and dumbstruck. He ruined Altered Carbon, he was the weakest part of the Falcon & Einyer Soldier series, and he just screams “Overrated” to me.

But he was ok in 8 Mile.

Totally agree. Going from Joel Kinnaman to Anthony Mackie was a huge let down.

[–] RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Absolutely huge. Joel Kinnaman brought such an awesome gravitas and grit to that character.

He's a total charisma void imo, and I definitely despise him in leading roles, but he's ok when he isn't the main focus. Like i think he was pretty great for the character in Hurt Locker because he was able to just be a total straight man for Renner to bounce his fucked up trauma off of.

Yeah, this makes sense. I love the description of "charisma void". That is so apt.

They killed it in pain and gain though. The rock was hilarious.

Haven't watched that one (yet). Tbh, didn't even know if it's existence. I'll check it out of I can.
