where did this "Nic Cage is a bad actor" meme come from? He's unironically one of the greatest
>>218663421The last 20 years of his career has been mostly low-budget shit where he hams it up to a ridiculous degree.
"Loud noises' ala Steve Carrell and Will Ferrell is not acting. I'm the last 10 years, he's been in what, Pig? One good movie? He's the ultimate nepo-baby and OP is a tard
Post you're favorite Nickelback Caged movies
>>218663421At least he’s better than Keanu who is possibly the worst a list actor to have ever lived in terms of ability. Keanu seems like a nice dude and has been in some bangers, but holy shit is his acting horrendous.
>>218663421He's fuck awful and if you can't tell you must be one of those autists that can't read human emotion or something because holy shit is he over the top. >>218663762At least Keanu used to be hot. Cage is just a freak
>>21866367610 years? Some mid and high Kino>color out of space>surfer>carpenters son>unbearable weight>dream scenario>mandyStop using IMDb to judge movies like a pleb.
He did too many silly things (those are good too)
>>218663762Replace any Keanu film with Nic Cage and it'd be way better
>>218663421For every great performance he has 3 wacky ones and 2 in absolute dogshit movies he surely only did due to his financial issues.
>>218663676>OP is a tardI dunno, could be worse. He could have your life.
>>218663676>"Loud noises' ala Steve CarrellOh, you misunderstood, you poor thing.
>>218663432He doesn't "ham it up" he plays the role he is given expertly. He gives the same respect to a silly film that pays the bills or a comedy as he would do to a main role in a Shakespeare play on the London stage. He is also not snobbish or eletist and can be convinced to take roles that don't earn megabucks if the role excites or amuses him, this is why many independent film makers want him in their films and he gets offered parts that wouldn't be offered to a grumpy old man like Harrison Ford for example. As well as meaning he actually enjoys himself, this also means he is kept above the level of actors like Eric Roberts or Dolph Lungrum who are only offered C-movie slop these days.In the early 2000's he was a little less discerning because he was hit with a massive surprise tax bill as his accountant had fucked up, so he had to make money fast for a few years and did almost anything in quick succession, like Bruce Willis before he completely lost his marbles, THAT is where "Le bad actor" meme comes from. Even then it was not his acting but the way the roles were written compared to his usual standards that was the problem. Even with the shitest writing and direction he would find the gond within even if it was just campy trash he was working with. During this time though he did make 2 of the films he is most fondly remembered for by fans; Ghost Rider and Kick Ass, so he still managed to come out on top.Nowadays he is certinly back to winning ways and showing off his acting chops to great aplomb with films like Renfield, which is a modern classic where he was privilaged to star alongside one of the biggest stars in Hollywood right now, the sexy Celestial Awkwafina (who was recently rumoured to be taking on the role of Harley Quinn in Matt Reeves' The Batman 2) and catapulted Nicholas Holt to the A-list.
He's based
>>218663421I used to think he was bad, but Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation showed me he has the ability to be great.So, my new opinion is: he's lazy and doesn't give a shit.
>>218663421Conair is one of the best kinos ever made
