"Why is this guy suddenly a thing?"

Because his family is wealthy and bought him buzz and an acting career

His family bought him buzz amongst the public? How does that work exactly?

For my latest movie reviews and news:http://www.hesaidshesaidreviewsite.com/

He looks generic as *beep*. His acting is also. He just kind of fades into the background. I can't believe he's had big parts alongside Dicaprio and Depp.

[i][His family bought him buzz amongst the public?

Someone of Hammer's limited range should not have suddenly been thrust into such high profile roles...not unless its all about who you know and who you are. If not for his familial ties, he would not be known at all and certainly wouldn't have played the roles he's played.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Family ties can buy you exposure, but it doesn't make people like you, and that was my point. He can get a lot of exposure because of who he knows, but that can't make the public like him, and my point was just that. I see people pushing for him to be the new Batman. Based on what? His family getting him work? Yeah...um no.

Honestly, I'll shout from the rooftops that I've always seen DiCaprio as a horrible actor myself. Very limited. He plays each part the same way. Or maybe it's just his blandness? IDK. Just know I don't get his hype. At all. He's a Hollywood butt kisser like Clooney. That's why LEO gets work.

I think Armie is a thing because he DOES have some talent, and he's cute. And there have been hundreds of Hollywood stars with less talent than him.

All I know is, he reminds me in some ways of a young Christian Bale. Which is an interesting analysis when you consider CB played Batman and that some people have even said that the two of them share similiar facial features. I'm referring to their acting styles, however. I've heard for years that CB is wooden, etc. That he's a bad actor, blah blah. Same things being said about Armie.

The thing is, both of them are very subtle in their styles. Most of their acting is nonverbal. They are actors who don't have (well, USUALLY don't have) big emotional scenes where they chew up scenery. You have to watch their facial expressions, listen to the inflections in their voices, watch their body language.

I've seen almost everything CB has done. After watching him in The New World, for instance, you see him at dying Pocohontas's bedside. And he has no lines at the end...He is just sitting there, and his eyes are red rimmed and watery, and his bottom lip trembles ever so slightly. And I think " how can anyone say the man can't act?"

And this is the impression I get from Armie. Much like Bale, much like Depp, for that matter-the majority of Armie's emoting is going to come from physicality. Which means you have to pay attention to what he's doing, more than what he's saying or how he's saying it. And I certainly don't think that makes him less of an actor. True, he has a way to go to be as accomplished as Bale or Depp...but he will get there if people give him the chance.

I personally think he'd make an excellent villain.
