Overrated and Underrated Actors and Actresses

[Tabascocat]

Fight Club

Pitt is a terrific actor, a very wide range.

 

[Tabascocat]

Ha ha ha! They are underrated?
What world do you live in?

The same world where you said Pitt was underrated

They are not underrated. Not a single one of them. They are all considered legends.

Mine are not so different than who others have mentioned including Russel, Spacey, Hoffman, etc

That is true. I don't speak for them.

ROAD TO PERDITION ALL TIME AMAZING

Bro!!!!!!!

That movie had light as a character. The rain scene alone makes it worth watching. You could add Jude Law to the underrated list.

Jude Law made his own mistakes in the roles he chose, but you're right.
He's a terrific actor. I would have liked to have seen him working different opportunities.

Jude Law is a gem and absolutely agree, Zebra

He isn't. He is a really good/great actor at his own delivery, but he lacks range. A character actor he is not.

Fight Club was too unfocused and appealed to an angsty late-90's teen/early 20's generation. Hey, I loved it, too, when it first came out.

The Talented Mr. Ripley is something that should be considered underrated.

 

[Trouty]

Dex, migosh.

Here is a few of mine but I am not sure they fit into one of these categories.

Most Underrated

And for TV:

Most Overrated

Totally disagree. You are off-base.
You talk about range and he's an actor that will tackle so many rainbow frequencies?
From love interest to serial killer?

I protest!

 

[Trouty]

Okay, I'm ready for the hits, but I truly believe Brad Pitt is an underrated actor.
He can play anything and has, very well.

Look at him in Kalifornia.
How about Snatch?
Seven is... his reaction to his wife's head.

He was never just a pretty boy.

Ah, Snatch. He was character-developed and believable as the gypsy, there. He was also good in 12 Years a Slave. Same in Inglorious Basterds. Perhaps he chooses the wrong roles, sometimes, and gems other times. Perhaps I'm being a boob

I think Pitt will be polarizing on this topic, it appears.

JAWS.

UNDER-RATED.

Perhaps he acts the roles so well...
I find it funny you criticize his delivery. Maybe he shouldn't deliver so well...

 

[Corso]

Si, mi amigo.

I'm admittedly reconnoitering my stance on Pitt, and perhaps changing my take from "over-rated" to "properly rated."

I dont think he is one of the greats. But he does have some awesome stuff. My bad there, Dex and Corso.

Easily up there with Redford. And I'm a huge Redford fan! HUGE...





I made sure my wife watched Sneakers last night huge.
