Great actor and director.


Hollywood is a better place because of his work. One would be challenged to name 10 people with a better resume.

Had the biggest films. Acted, directed, and produced. Won all the Oscars.

People who work with him love him.

reply

Yes I agree he is a fantastic director and he has acquired a terrific body of work over the decades.

Braveheart was great and I’m a big fan of the seriously underrated Apocalypto.

reply

Braveheart was brilliant and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love that movie!
Apocalypto was totally underrated and this really annoys me…I’ve watched it 4-5 times and it’s just amazing! Mel’s drunken, idiotic behavior really fucked up his legacy but this dude is a real big deal star!

Check out Mel in ‘Dragged Across Concrete’ from a couple years ago.

Ok thanks, will do.

i have never not enjoyed a Gibson-related picture

That's what angers his haters the most.

reply

I did like his roles in Braveheart, The Patriot and a few others, and Hacksaw Ridge is a great war movie, up there for me with Saving Private Ryan. So yeah, I would concur.

Mel is an amazing talent.

Still kicking butt

Biggest films? Most of the films he's been in have been average or terrible.

Mad Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Lethal Weapon 3 and 4
Air America
Bird On A Wire
Forever Young
Maverick
Payback
Conspiracy Theory
Million Dollar Hotel
The Patriot
The Singing Detective
Ransom
The Beaver
The Man Without A Face
What Women Want
Get The Gringo

He had screen presence and charisma, and in the 80's - early 90's, he was one of the best looking male movie stars of all time but his filmography isn't great overall.

reply

Better than most modern tripe, even an average Mel film blows most modern cinema out of the water.

reply

And that's relevant why?

You sound as thick as a Trump supporter and then I realised you are.

reply

It's called a conversation you spastic or are you too emotionally stunted to speak to someone you disagree with on the internet? Come back when you have something more than ad hom

Not just a thick Trump supporter but a thin skinned one too.

And you're definitely a little jizzturd.

reply

Have you lost your virginity yet, little boy?

reply

Yes to your mum, then I throated her and she shat you out you little jizzturd.

reply

You need to seriously expand your vocabulary, you sad little virgin.

reply

Your mum said don't stay up too late, at least I think that's what she said her mouth was full at the time

Seriously, do you have a life?

reply

Both of you, sit in the corner. No dessert tonight.

reply

Fuck you you're not my real dad! I'm having ice cream!

reply

Tell your mom that I'll grab the wine for dinner. ;p

reply

She does enough whining as it is!

reply

Lol

reply

Aww what's the matter, took some digs now you can't handle the return fire? Put your big boy trousers on and sack the fuck up.

You don't have a life, do you?
