I really don't get why there's so much hate on him... Ok Jacko that one clip was awful acting, but I dunno, I just can't say "that guy is a sh*tty actor" ... I like every movie I saw with him so far... Con Air, Knowing, National Treasures, that one where he jacks cars... I just don't get it... There's worst... like ... jaden smith...
I don't hate him, nor do I think he is the worst actor of all time. Obviously the worst actors of all time are people we have never heard of, because they didn't get anywhere. But I do believe he is getting lazier and lazier in each successive movie, and his performances seem to keep going down the drain.
I actually love Raising Arizona. It is one of my favorite movies of all time (also love Fargo and The Big Labowski, both by the Coen brothers, even though I don't get a lot of their other movies that are beloved, like O Brother Where Art Thou?) and I loved Nicholas Cage in that. But it has been a long time since I have seen him put that much effort into a role. Since then it always feels like he is just playing himself in a movie.
