James McAvoy is so annoying in this movie

I thought he did a great job, and he deserves an Oscar nomination.

Oh my god you avatar is so *beep* disgusting holy *beep*


Less than forget. But more than begun.

He's a bad actor? I think you need a doctor.

I dont know whether its you.. your avatar, your "i know everything" attitude or that you spout opinion without even offering one argument to back up what you say... but you are annoying on these message boards,

OHHH GOOOD FOR YOU!!

I think it's a tricky type of role to play. Always looking like an acting exercise more than a performance. "OK start the lines as a guy from Brooklyn then when I clap my hands you're a nine year old...go!"

It reminded me of 2 (not so great) Star Trek episodes. One with Data and one with 7 o' 9 both doing this shtick. I think James Mac did a better job, but I sympathize with the challenge of making it not look...unintentionally hilarious. Speaking of which, "Unintentionally Hilarious" is a bit of a trademark of M.Night's work, kept waiting for the psychiatrist to say "You eyein' my lemon drink?".

And for some reason there is always one personality that's a little kid. I wonder if that is just for contrast or has some scientific precedence.

I disagree, except for hedwig. Was I supposed to laugh, or cringe, or accept the grown man as a little kid obsessed with Kanye? It had to be comedic relief, the dance scene was hilarious.

He was the movie so if you found him annoying, then you found the movie annoying.
So your last sentence makes sense in that regard.

Personally, I thought he was really entertaining and he's enjoying himself.


Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down and a Wagging Finger of Shame

I thought he did a really good job. The acting was a bit exaggerated, but I think that was so the audience could quickly tell one personality from the other and there wouldn't be any confusion.
