Well, it does make the villain more hateable.
I thought he was perfect in Bladerunner 2049. He's got creepy narcissist down.
Yes, but only because that role required just aesthetics and posing; under a good director even the worst actor seems ok.
I'm of the opinion that he was pretty much just playing himself
I liked him in Fight Club.
He was the albino dude that Edward Norton destroys because he is jealous of himself. If every movie cast Leto as a guy to just get his ass kicked by the protagonist with zero dialogue, that would be perfect.
I distinctly recall a calming, satisfying feeling washing over me the first time I watched that scene. Like something was right with this world. 🤌🏼
Focus groups were unable to stop wanting to have sex with Skeletor when any other actor played him.
Holy shit, just how many blowjobs has this cult leader given to studio suits? Of what kind of dirty laundry does he have on them?
Why does this JUST. KEEP. HAPPENING?!!
Well... He does have an island of his own, doesn't he?
And loads of groupies on the younger side... if you know what I mean.
To paraphrase one parasite talking about another parasite.
No! This is how I find out about He-man movie and have my expectations shattered at the same time?
Jared Leto is method-acting again
🙁
He’s playing a corpse
😀
We could only be so lucky.
Does it have Michael Cera as Zorko?
That would track. 🤢
Leto is bad when he's the lead. He's great as a supporting actor usually and so-so as a villain.
Many people cite his Joker as being bad, but most of his performance was cut from Suicide Squad and it's not as if any performance in that turd of a movie was particularly great (except for Harley and Waller), since apparently Ayer is a director which encourages his actors to go method and/or extreme.
Still, take his Joker and apply it to Skelletor and it might just work much better, since the character has always been over the top. It's not as if Frank Langella didn't ham it up to eleven in the old live action movie, and it works great there.
Funny enough, this is the second time a Joker plays Skelly since Mark Hamill voiced him in the new animated show.
I'm much more concerned with how uncharismatic the lead looks and how bad the CG and action. It looks like an AI movie in parts.
I think people hate him more for being a creepy rapist.
No. Leto is just bad in general. In movies and music. I've shared my opinion of him before but can't find the energy to rant about him right now, and it's not worth the time anymore either. I just don't understand how he keeps getting support by the studios.
I just don't understand how he keeps getting support by the studios.
Effort is being applied to keep it that way. 🤌🏼
You raised my hopes only to dash them most excellently, sir
Should've gotten the guy from Robot Chicken.
Y’all ain’t seen Dallas Buyers Club
I dunno how I feel about this.
Like on one hand leto is a fucking creep and terrible actor.
But on the other, skeletor was an over the top evil villain.
Why do so many people hate Jared Leto? He does a competent job in most of his roles and a good job every now and then. I don't know if I can see him as diabolical evil-for-evil's-sake like skeletor but maybe. I haven't seen him in anything recently but My So Called Life was pretty good.
- people don't like him in a few movies, including the joker
- he has at least 9 public sexual misconduct allegations against him, including costars alluding to some additional misconduct
- his fans treat him like a cult leader and he leans into it, adding to the "creepy narcissist vibe" for many people
- he is an intense method actor, going so far as to send used condoms and dead rats to production companies and costars during the filming phase
That's the jist of it, but for me there's some additional things, like seeing some of the tiktoks he did he is just missing the mark for me. To me he comes off as inauthentic in minor ways, leading him down the uncanny valley.

Wait, I don't think that's how method acting actually works.
I didn't know about the sex or cult stuff. I never saw the joker, I was done with all the comic book movie by then. I like to think that if I got unconscionably rich doing something I loved I'd neither sexually harass people nor save used condoms but I guess the old folks were right, it goes to show you never can tell.
Don't confuse joaquin phoenix and jared leto. The 2019 Joker movie has nothing to do with jared leto.
Leto was Joker in suicide squad, not in the joker movie
Probably all the rape
I've only seen him in half a dozen things, not including My So Called Life. I think he's been terrible in all but one role, which was in WeCrashed. In that, he did a great job of playing a creepy weirdo. Based on that experience, he might do a decent job of skeletor
Are you the casting director? This sounds like their logic, to a tee. 🖕🏼
