Dave Bautista is undoubtedly the only actor with range in this picture.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

you don't think Alan Ritchson has range?

I'm not sure of my own opinion on it, tbh. but I was introduced to him as Thad, so seeing him later on in serious roles was a head turner

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

I'm so used to him being Thad that it's quite surprising to see him in something that's not a comedy at this point

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m assuming the people who think that have only been introduced to him in reacher and a few action movies since then.

[–] Enzy@feddit.nu 1 points 8 hours ago

I first saw him in Smallville and thought he was equally as stiff then.

But he definitely nailed Reacher.

Whys thad in the cookie race?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Arnold has a pretty broad range, just lacking the depth.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Stallone had some range at one time.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude, Rocky is a great movie. And First Blood showed some range, too.

I love Demolition Man and Daylight for reasons other than range.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can be a great actor and have no range, it just means you're typecast. Some people fall into it over time, some start that way.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Try Cop Land. Not your typical Stallone pic.

I remember seeing this and thinking “wow, he can actually act.” And it’s inconceivable that someone like the Rock or Vin Diesel would do a movie like that.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Vin Diesel was in Saving Private Ryan

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He was a very minor character. Who died very early on too.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That's not fair towards his performance

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

It's absolutely fair because it is absolutely true. Those are simply facts. His entire performance was basically one scene which I thought came off a teeny bit of ham fisted but not bad. He simply was not in the movie all that much. To say otherwise is simply inaccurate.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

That was early in his career. When Stallone made Cop Land he was a guy who (despite some recent missteps) could get movies made. He chose the role to show his acting ability. Once Vin Diesel had that kind of juice he put riders into his contracts about whether or not his character could lose a fight.

Funnily he's also the only one where the glasses look good.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Aww, I think Arnold looks cute here
