Dave Bautista is such an awful actor

[Mondo Freaks]

I just watched Glass Onion and saw a trailer for 'Knock at the Cabin' and Bautista is just so awful in both of them. He sounds like he is reading from a card. His voice sounds to same in all his movies and hes stiff af. He got through GOTG because most of his lines were one-liners, but any movie where he has to do any basic acting, he's terrible in. He tried to carry an action flick in 'Army of the Dead', but that flopped hard. Im surprised he gets so much work. His acting sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I can easily see him play Bane or The Terminator.

 

[newms84]

Stuber was funny and Bushwick was ok. Also like master z with him. To me he's kind of a throwback to the 80s action stars who made fun movies but couldn't really act

 

[Sonny Qc]

Agree, he's one of the worst.

 

[TribalDrumz]

All those juiced to the gills former wwe actors are beyond cringe city.

Cena is the worst.

 

[TrueBias]

Id take him over john cena or the rock any day.

 

[NoSmilez]

I have a Filipino friend who mentions that Bautista is a Filipino at every opportunity. In my mind I am sarcastically thinking your people are going to elect this motherfucker for office.

Cena is the worst.

Kevin Nash was great as Super Shredder.

 

[SmoothPies]

He's not great, but I'd say he's the best in that niche of WWE/jacked-type actors (Rock, Cena, etc)

 

[Simple Southerner]

As are almost all other wrestlers rock, stone cold etc

 

[Diamondsareforever47]

He's not great, but I'd say he's the best in that niche of WWE/jacked-type actors (Rock, Cena, etc)

The Rock can do funny roles though. Like in Central Intelligence and do amusing and exciting in Fast Furious. I think Rock is the best of that group. The Rock can also do mentor and semi emotional like in Baywatch

 

[shockaholic12]

This was a great scene.

To be fair I don't think he's getting offered many roles that outside his usual type-casting. Heard he's done with superhero stuff so maybe we'll see some different roles.

 

[crabmeat]

I think his only role that was good, was Drax. It played on his deficiencies as an actor.

 

[Osculater]

He's alright imo

 

[Belaya Smert]

He’s no John Cena
That guy can do action,drama, and comedy.

On his latest film:

HOW IS THE CAST?
While all the cast give strong performances, it is Bautista who shines and shows his range in some key monologues. – Chase Hutchinson, Seattle Times

Bautista is the stand-out, granting Leonard a sense of calm that is at once friendly and deeply unsettling. – Dan Bayer, Next Best Picture

Bautista walks away with the film, giving incredible pathos to what could have felt like a villainous character. – Joey Magidson, Awards Radar

The role of Leonard is perfectly suited to the wrestler-turned-actor. As a fundamentally sympathetic antagonist, Bautista digs deeper into the timid sincerity and striking naivete already present in his Guardians of the Galaxy role. – Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

Bautista is fantastic… You believe that he believes what he says, which makes some moments all the more terrifying. – Matt Rodriguez, Shakefire

Grint especially, as the jittery, hotheaded wild card, nearly steals the scenes from Bautista a few times. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Inverse

 

[Jose Beehive]

I fink he’s quite gud.

 

[TrueBias]

I fink he’s quite gud.

Its cuz he is good. Jolly in guardians, vulnerable in blade runner, maniac in dune (which IS his looks).

Hes gotten better whereas the other 2 are stagnant.
