It's SO easy to say "Leo DiCaprio is a great actor and Sylvester Stallone is an awful actor"

Don't you all see the fucking irony here? Everyone, and I mean literally everyone, says "use your own judgement, don't go with the hype and the mainstream " and STILL... it is a safe opinion to say "DiCaprio is the best actor working today" and that "Stallone is an awful actor".

But let me all get you all out of your delusional states: DiCaprio is highly overrated and has done no more than five great performances TOP. All right, TOP. I don't even think personally that he was great in any other movies than Django Unchained, The Departed and The Aviator. But... okay... objectively... maybe he two other great performances. Dustin Hoffman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Edward Norton and Christian Bale: THESE guys make Leo look like if he just quit kindergarten and tries to act among true tallents. He is insecure, overhyped and totally not worth of this level of acting.

On another hand, let's get to Sylvester Stallone. Oh wow, how easy and safe to just say that he is an awful actor. Let's ignore the fact that he has half pf his face paralyzed and STILL is a THREE TIMES Academy award nominee. Of course he didn't help himself with his doubtful career due to all his really bad choices. But awful actor?? Fucking please. Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, etc. THESE are awful actors, and in no fucking way is Stallone at their level. Just Cop Land and Creed are prime proofs that he isn't.

So my bottom line is not that Stallone is actually a better actor than DiCaprio (even though I personally (FUCKING PERSONALLY in the case that some morons want to use it against me) think he IS better), but it is more about this: the general public is filled withsuch a two-faced hypocritical fucking morons who only go for what is considered good and bash for what is considered bad.

I have done studies in movies, so it is not like if I was ignorant and talking out of my ass. Plus, I love both DiCaprio and Stallone. But hearing ignorant fucking morons say that DiCaprio is a great actor while Stallone is an awful actor... I've had pretty much enough of it. It is BULLSHIT. It is all about reputation and don't even try to say otherwise.

So, start to ACTUALLY use your own judgement and fucking stop to say that DiCaprio is the fucking king of acting while other actors of his fucking generation are 100 times better. Put aside those I've already named: Joaquin Phoenix and Jake Gyllenhal, for instance, are WAY better than him.

And other bottom line: Fuck you Oscars... you only go for the hype and punish deserving people. DiCaprio did deserve an Oscar... but not for The Revenant. BUT... Stallone actually deserved it for Creed. My two cents....

Never heard anyone say Stallone was a bad actor, when he needs to act and isn't just doing an action flick, he kills it.

i don't think anybody'd say Rocky is a bad actor, yo.

NOBODY.

Of course it’s unfair. You have to understand that for a great majority of people, reputation is more important than real talent. They don’t want to take any risks by expressing their opinions.
We all agree that half the cast of Game of thrones have the potential to win an academy award, but they’ll probably never be casted in the right movie with the right director to have it. And we didn’t even know these people existed a few years ago.
Stallone is a wonderful actor who could have had some academy awards if he never pursued making action movies in the 80’s, he would have done movies with Scorsese, De Palma, Spielberg, Sergio Leone.
That’s why Woody Allen who considers himself as a bad director (that’s how you recognize real genious, you’ll never hear Di Caprio saying that he’s a bad actor), says he prefers sport over moviebusiness, because body and stats never lies while academy awards can ;).

Woody Allen was just being humble. Saying yourself bad at your craft is not an indication of a genius. He might be a genius, but not because he said that he's a bad director. That would make him... a humble man.

Are you okay?

[–] TaRaNRoD (1579) 5 years ago

Awwww go fuck yourself.

[–] MoviesSuck (964) 5 years ago

You seem upset. Are you okay?

[–] TaRaNRoD (1579) 5 years ago

I stopped even bothering with people who say that Stallone is a bad actor which is a huge pile of horseshit.

ya Tara seems mentally unstable.. he literally created this imaginary conflict in his head

You’ll probably hate me for saying this, but I like them both.

[–] TaRaNRoD (1579) 5 years ago

I like them both as well! DiCaprio was outstanding in the latest Tarantino's movie Once upon a time in... Hollywood!

[–] LiquidOcelot (2399) 5 years ago

How random. What exactly is the link between DiCaprio and Stallone? I think the OP has mental issues.

[–] Galactus03 (4373) 5 years ago

I like them both. Both are fine actors. I'm guessing many wouldn't say Stallone because if all the product he has put out there and a lot of it's considered bad. DiCaprio does much less and chooses good movies. Stallone chooses and makes lots of "guilty pleasure" films.

[–] cosh530 (13) 5 years ago

I like them both.

As for Stallone, he shows talent in some films. Most of the films he does, most actors wouldn't have done any better or worse, to be fair. It's not like most of the movies he chooses to do were made for awards. He has some talent for sure (let's not forget, he also writes and directs), but he mostly makes popcorn fare, not awards oriented flicks.

They're BOTH bad actors!

With world-class career smarts. Both have made themselves rich beyond the dreams of avarice without much talent, and DiCaprio has bamboozled the critics as well. He's not a great actor, he's a try-hard actor, and they gave him a fucking Oscar for trying super hard and letting it show.
