He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.

In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.

Just my opinion

I thought he played Zuckerburg incredibly well. Honestly I do. However, I realized later that's because he has the same super awkward mannerisms as Zuckerberg, and I don't think he was really doing much acting in that movie. Everything else he's been in I've thought he was awkward and a bad cast

He plays Zuck so well that he just decided to keep doing it over and over.

Zombieland = post-apocalyptic Zuck

BvS = Batzuck

Rio = Flying Zuck

I agree with this. He was only good in that single movie.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah he played a neurotic weirdo really well. I'm not so much sure if that's him being a good actor or just perfect role for him though. Kind of like when Hayden Christensen was really good as that Glass guy.

Im over here trying to remember if Lex Luthor was even in that movie. That's how forgettable he was.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

He was super hyper and awkward in that movie. The scene with the candy was just... Bad.

Luther needs to be calm and collected. A man of charm and charisma. And towering rage when his plots and plans fail.

Luther cannot be an autistic man child who puts candy in other people's mouth. That's exactly the wrong take.

How I feel about Colin Ferrell. How tf he got cast as Alexander the fu**ing Great will always baffle me

what movies would you say are great because of him?

[–] froggycar360@slrpnk.net 1 points 34 minutes ago

The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges, he also does a great Penguin

I laughed way too hard at this
