Most overrated acting performance of all time

Everyone knows Nolan had his way with the MPAA. His own crew said the pencil scene alone should have earned the movie an R. Joker lliterally stabs a guy in the head and murders him with a pencil. He burns Lau. So a 13 year old that watches Avengers and X Men type of strife and violence and goes sees this? You don’t see a difference? The ferry scene, the hospital, the interrogations, ....these are brutal intense scenes. This movie should have been an R all the way. Deadpool violence was done in a comic book way...these were not.

I know what you're sayin' and I see the difference. but make no mistake, Nolans movies are watched over closely not to step into the R waters, except of Memento. It's probably because of wider commercial ambitions.
To have an R you'll need to have either blood/gore/sex/nudity/language etc.
Batman series has none of that, but I agree that it's shot in such intense and dark manner, that it pretty much resembles an R rated thriller.

TS nailed the answer to the thread in the first post. Ledger's Joker was cool, but overrated. He got the Oscar because he died. No way he was better than RDJ, Josh Brolin or PSH. (BTW, fuck the Oscars.)

And LMAO at the dummies defending Nolan's Batman movies as realistic. You have no idea how fucking dumb you sound.

I got Heath Ledgers joker due to him kicking the bucket

looks like you dont know what good acting is because it had zero to do with him dying

The Oscars do have their obvious cutoff points in what there willing to reward, I think that's actually become increasingly obvious over the last 10-15 years were you've had a spilt in the industry between increasingly family focused blockbusters/straight forward drama and the arthouse circuit were most of the more ambitious films and performances go on. Something like Synecdoche is simply not going to get picked up on by the Oscars, its too leftfield.

You honestly think he got the Oscar because he died? He would have won it regardless. His performance was more revered than RDJ, Josh Brolin or PSH. It was an incredible performance by Heath, he made the Joker too real imo. It was in a different level than before or after. (Haven't seen Joaquin yet)

Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York. That whole movie is a mess. He's one of the most overrated actors of all time.

Is he at least in your top 5 best actors?

Gwyneth Paltrow won oscar for best actress for Shakespeare in Love

I am a fan of her but I honestly don't think she deserve the award.

Yes I do. Have you seen the Oscars lately? And by lately I mean forever? It's a SJW festival. They reward whoever is the most deserving in terms of political correctness.

He wasn't better than RDJ, JB or PSH that year. That's what counts. RDJ and PSH were also in better movies than TDK, so that counts too.

As I said, fuck the Oscars. Whoever uses Oscars as an argument has already lost the argument.

No, they are not. They aren't even the best performances by each of those actors.

I don’t think Nolan has his way with the MPAA at all. Did you ever notice it has hardly any blood, gore, nudity, or cussing in it. Just because a movie is “intense” doesn’t mean it deserves an R. In fact Nolan’s Batman trilogy kinda feels neutered to me because he tried to go all super dark and serious yet had to leave the aforementioned stuff out to achieve PG-13 ratings. Jaws is an intense and brutal movie especially in 1975 and it didn’t get an R and it actually has cussing, brief nudity, and blood/gore in it.

There definitely been Oscars that have been given to the person that got it, however didn't deserve it. (For example Sean Penn for Milk didn't deserve that Oscar imo it should been Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler.) But it's few and far between. Most of the time they are correct with the choices and Heath Ledger was one of those ones that they got right.

But it's obvious you don't like his performance or probably Heath Ledger even. Which all the power to you. Whatever floats your boat.

Btw I actually loved the PSH performance in Doubt. I think it's probably his best up there with Capote and The Master. If Heath performance didn't exist, Hoffman should have won.

She's good, don't get me wrong. But so is everyone else in that movie. The whole thing is amazingly acted. I mean, the guy shoveling his driveway is just as good as her. But she gets all the credit somehow.

The only real difference between the scene with Joker stabbing the dude IN THE EYE with the pencil and this pencil scene:


Is Wick stabs multiple dudes AND there's blood. Add in Joker BURNING a motherfucker to death, BLOWING UP A HOSPITAL, burning Dent halfway into the grave, shooting all those motherfuckers at the beginning...... I won't say Nolan basically paid off the MPAA to get it PG-13 but The Dark Knight if it had been rated R I wouldn't have really thought it was un-deserved.

 

[minute bull]

How is Kim Kardashian Top Five on PorhHub? Does that shit make sense to you?

 

[StewDogg11]

Will Ferrell is one of the most overrated "actors" around. He isn´t funny and always plays the same semi-retarded manchild who screams a lot.

You should watch Everything Must Go. It’s a good movie.

You’re basically agreeing with me I think? He did all this stuff along with creating this super dark/serious environment but left it largely devoid of any blood/gore, nudity, cussing, etc. Why? So he could get PG-13’s.
