Is he a good actor or just a handsome face?
>>219811164he's a classically trained theater actor. his son is a talentless nepobaby though.
>>219811164He is ok but The Equalizer movies are a piece of shit.
>>219811164Just ok. Easily overshadowed by other actors better than him
>>219811164Yes. In films like Malcolm X he truly shines, but when your most famous films are run-of-the-mill action/thriller blockbusters, it's hard to be rated higher.
>>219811164He plays the same character in every movie
>>219811164I like Denzel. He seems like a straight up good person, and down to earth kinda guy.
>>219811164His performance in Gladiator 2 is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen. Textbook definition of “IM ACTING”
He's a solid actor who's had solid roles. But he's overrated af and he often over-acts, kinda like a black dicap.
>>219811164Nice lazy eye
He just has charisma. He is a shitty actor that just plays Alonzo in every single one of his roles, but we let him get away with it because he is likable
>>219811164>So I was like, yeah, I am not going leave here without getting something, you know what I'm saying. I'm black and from around the way. So I'm nominated for an Oscar and I lose. and after that me and my mother go around stealing stuff because we're black and ChristianWeird thing to admit.

>ynr that movie where he had a british accent
>>219811239The first one was undeniably kino
>>219811164Literally black Mark Wahlberg. Much better at non action movie crap
I think he's good at giving a very grounded believable performance. Which is good in some roles. Like I've seen the movie he made about the train that couldn't stop and then did stop at least 4 times and enjoyed it every time, because the credible energy he brings to it makes it very immersive. And it's a large part of what makes Man On Fire good, because it's an objectively cartoonish story that could have just turned out completely gratuitous and OTT but he pins it down and makes it serious, which is what makes it work. But outside of movies that can utilise that grounding effect he's only OK. He fucking SUCKED in Gladiator, because that was a character that needed a lot of style and flair and swagger, and he couldn't bring it. The Equalizer movies aren't great because they're poorly written, but also because there's not enough in them to pull him up, there's not enough else going on to balance out his quite staid and everyday delivery.
When you compare his performance in Fences to James Earl Jones, it comes across like he's doing a comedy
>>219813949Tony Scott was the best director for Denzel imo.
>>219813830Pig face Moretz with the fridge body was too distracting
>>219811164honorary white
>>219815351>hello, russian mob? I want a teen prostitute, please. But not, like, one of the super hot ones you ship in from the Balkans. Give me like a 6, 6.5/10 max.
>>219811164I don't much difference, if any, between any roles he played. Just varying degrees of angry, I guess lol
