Chris hemsworth

But his acting range is very limited.
I wouldn't say that, necessarily. He's good at action hero roles, he's good at comedy, he was pretty damn good in Rush and Bad Times at the El Royale which were neither. He's not a chameleon and obviously won't fit every role, but I don't think his performance was the problem even in movies that flopped.

"Men in Black: International". Someone thought having him play a supremely arrogant jerk would be funny, but it doesn't work because he doesn't have that Robert Downey Jr. or James Spader dark edge or fierce wit to him - he comes off as a pompous pretty boy in the role with no likeability whatsoever.

To be fair to him though everyone was poorly served in that movie, just a terrible movie on all levels, and I quite liked the first and third ones.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Chris is comparable to Brad Pitt. The looks, the body, the comedy but also being able to do action and drama.

Like I said in this thread, it’s the Hollywood industry and the evolution of movies that keeps an actor like Chris from being a movie star.

Chris couldn’t do Brad Pitt movies like “Legends of the Fall”, “Seven Years in Tibet” or “Meet Joe Black” because Hollywood doesn’t make those type of movies for cinemas anymore and those would be the type of roles Chris could do.

“Mad Max” and “Bad Times at the El Royale” show he could do Pitt movies like “Fight Club” and “12 Monkeys”. But the Chris movies were bombs because people don’t go to the theaters too much to see those types of movies now.

He would have had a much better career in the 90s lol.

From what I know, that movie had major production shifts and the director either quit and didn’t finish the film or he finished the film and the producers interfered too much and they did reshoots. Or it was both. I know they were rewriting the script so much Chris and Tessa had to hire dialogue writers. So the film fell apart.

It was a shit movie.

But Chris is not bad in it. He’s a good actor. I think people mistake bad movies for bad acting. Even in the shitty Snow White films he still delivers a good performance as an actor.

But to me he’s definitely Brad Pitt or even Patrick Swayze. A very hot man who is actually talented.

He took is very personally when Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino trashed Marvel films and said the actors weren’t movie stars - he’s mentioned it over the years.

But I don’t actually think they were personally attacking him.

I can’t see him in a Scorsese movie but I think he’d be great in a Tarantino movie.
