Author Topic: Who do you think is over rated??? Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-05-2005 10:30 PM                     With all the actor's and actress's out there today along with directors who do you guys think is the most over rated? I hear people say that Robert DeNiro is over rated, Al Pacino is over rated Sean Connery is over rated. I don't believe that these actors are over rated...The one person who I think gets more credit then they really deserve is Dustin Hoffman...Is he a good actor...yes...has he had some great roles....yes. But is he on the same level as DeNiro, Connery or ever Pacino...I don't think he is. What do you guys think? Can't wait to here your thoughts Kurt  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-05-2005 10:37 PM                     Overrated? Will Ferrell and Vin Diesel immediately come to mind.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-05-2005 10:45 PM                        I think Dustin Hoffman is a very good example. No doubt, very good actor with some great roles under his belt, but not very interesting anymore, or for a very long time. He really plays to the gallery way too much now.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I hurts me just to type her name Colin Farrell comes to mind as well...but not as much as the one I just mentioned  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-05-2005 11:20 PM                     Phil Hill is very overrated these days Really though: Michael Moore is definately up there  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-05-2005 11:32 PM                     Queen Latifa and Bernie Mac (he isn't a good stand up comic and isn't going to make is as an actor). Tom Cruise is another I could do without (he's too self-absorbed to be believable in any role).  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-06-2005 12:41 AM                        Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn (I hate him).  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-06-2005 12:46 AM                     Hillary Duff by far. On a different note, someone who needs and deserves a TON of recognition is JOHN C. REILLY! When are people gonna get he's one of the great actors out there?

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-06-2005 04:06 AM                        Hey, I love Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn! I think they are really funny. Speaking of which, I just saw Stiller in "Meet the Fockers" and realized that I might have to tone down my earlier statement about Hoffman. He delivered a really fine, not over-the-top performance there. What kind of name is PARIS HILTON anyway? Sounds to me like MARRIOTT HOLLYWOOD or something like that.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-06-2005 04:40 AM                  I agree that JOHN C. REILLY deserves a lot more credit... great "new" actor. Paris Hilton sucks... literally. I do like Ben Stiller ... didn't used to like him in his TV show, but his films are really funny. Jim Carey was only good in Dumb & Dumber... OBTW: Thanks Richard... Merry Xmas!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-06-2005 11:53 AM                        Julia Roberts. Whenever she breaks out that cackling laugh of hers, I cringe.  |  IP: Logged R. Andrew Diercks Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Marion, Iowa (In the middle of everywhere) Registered: May 2003 posted 01-06-2005 01:06 PM                     In my opinion Jim Carrey is underrated and struggles with typecasting. He was fabulous in Man on the Moon and Truman Show. He has done well in many others as well even though the movie may have been bad. We are discussing "acting" right, not whether or not we enjoyed the film in question. My measure of that is if I believe the character they portray. Over rated...Halle Barry (did not deserve an oscar), Woody Allen and Hugh Grant (always the same character) Vin Diesel over rates himself. He has ridiculous demands for salary. There are many others both over and under rated that haven't leaped to mind yet.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-06-2005 01:19 PM                     I agree witht he above coments about Jim Carrey. I rreally like him in his dramatic roles but his comedy went stale a long time ago. Overrated: Frankie muniz, vin diesel, Snoop dogg, Underrated: Jeff bridges, Johnny knoxville and John Goodman.  |  IP: Logged
