I don't think either Depp or Cruise are underrated. Both are good actors, but Cruise has just one personage where Depp has two of them. Cruise films are enjoyable if you manage to look besides his ego, while Depp movies are ok if you don't mind 'more of the same'. Depp surely didnt impress me in his more serious and deep roles than loads of other actors do. | |

Ice-T, he's a good supporting actor. He and Munch were perfect together | |

I'd seriously recommend Deadwood (which is basically The Sopranos but set in the old west) and Justified (a modern day Dirty Harry). Both are great shows and really show Timothy Olyphant at his very best. Incidentally, both shows also feature great yet underrated actors. Ian McShane gives a truly powerhouse performance in Deadwood. Seriously, the show is worth watching for him alone. And I'd put Walton Goggins' performance in Justified up there with Jack Nicholson's Joker as a villain that you just want to cheer for. Regarding the Tarantino thing, I think it's a bunch of fuss about nothing. By the time his new movie is coming out the press will have moved on to the next thing and nobody will care. | |

You know what, he just might make a movie where Sharon Tate kills Charles Manson. Wouldn't surprise me at all... | |

Quentin is actually a pretty good example. You don't think of him as an actor, but he usually does a pretty good job, even if he only acts in his own movies. And that cameo in Girl 6 was also very funny. | |

Both are really, really great. Full of self reflection, bitterness, sadness and much deeper than I ever expected from Jean Claude Van Damme. You should really give at least JCVD a try. And if you like it I´m sure you´ll watch at least a couple of episodes of Jean Claude Van Johnson. I loved it ! " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

The thought of Arnold as an underrated actor is a bit hard to digest at first but it is not that far fetched, actually. Conan the Barbarian is one of my all-time favorite movies and Arnold is the perfect guy for that role, and I say that as someone who used to be a fan of the novels and Marvel Comics of Conan. Many think of Commando, Predator and Terminator when they think of Arnold, and those are great movies...but Conan the Barbarian is my favorite.
And yes , he was pretty good in Maggie, too.
I disagree about Commando being the greatest action movie though. That honor goes to Mad Max 2. That movie is an action masterpiece and flawless. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

It even shares one of its villains with Commando. But where I think Commando beats it is with the sheer ludicrousness (I'm not sure that's a real word) of it. You've got this massive chunk of meat and muscle going up against what is essentially Freddie Mercury on steroids and for some reason it's a close fight. Not to mention the copious amount of classic one liners. | |

...Or just say, 'I don't believe that violent films contribute to any actual violence. I grew up on them and I'm not running around killing people.' | |

I agree that Depp has excellent talent. However, he used to make artistic choices for his movies but now seems to be content to mostly playing this look how weird I am schtick that is a waste of his talent. I would now nominate him for one of the most disappointing actors. | |

Ace said: ...Or just say, 'I don't believe that violent films contribute to any actual violence. I grew up on them and I'm not running around killing people.' The thing is though, he's answered that question before. Numerous times. And it's a bit insulting really to ask it in the first place because in asking him that question it insinuates that all his movies are just about the violence. There are some stories that can't be told properly WITHOUT showing a certain level of violence. Very rarely do you see QT putting in violence just for the sake of it. It's always there to get across a point he's trying to make like how fucked up in the head Mr. Blonde is when he chops off the cops ear in Reservoir Dogs or how badly black slaves were treated in America in Django Unchained. Sometimes it's shocking but its never without reason. | |

I would now nominate him for one of the most disappointing actors. Supposedly Marlon Brando once told him he was too good an actor to do movies and that he should do more theatre work. Maybe he misunderstood and that's why he keeps doing those over the top performances in his movies. Or maybe he would just rather earn 30 or 40 million for playing a pirate than earn 10 times less making a movie with more merit. But I agree, he's definitely one of the most disappointing actors because you know he's got the talent to do something special but for one reason or another, he doesn't do it. | |

I do think that Kill Bill 1 has a bit of violence for the sake of it, though. | |

I do think that Kill Bill 1 has a bit of violence for the sake of it, though. It's basically a live action anime though. It's actually rather tame when compared to some of the stuff that goes on in those cartoons he was paying homage to. If there's one movie he made that was violent just for the sake of being violent then I'd say that movie was Death Proof. In fact, aside from Kurt Russell and THAT car chase, that movie should never have been made at all. | |
