Oh man, it's gonna be so surprising and contrasting when they get violent.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

IMO Bautista is on the underrated side. He can be hilarious, unhinged, dumb muscle, and serious AF. TBF he’s really picked some roles with good writing and direction which helps a lot.

unlike the rock, who cant act for poop, and he really is difficult to work with when it comes around action and contracts.

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nah the rock can actually act, he’s just usually taking the same type of big dumb roles. He was great in Ballers, and in that movie with Marky Mark. I’ve heard great things about him in the smashing machine too.

He just plays the same character in most movies, but he never a “bad” actor. What do you think he is bad in?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I didn't like him in that Fox News short where he played a guy who "can't endorse a candidate this election cycle"

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Sylvester Stallone is Clark Kent.

[–] Enzy@feddit.nu 68 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 19 points 12 hours ago (2 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

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

Whys thad in the cookie race?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] chris@l.roofo.cc 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Aww, I think Arnold looks cute here

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 17 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Stallone had some range at one time.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours 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 5 points 10 hours 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 1 points 4 hours ago

Try Cop Land. Not your typical Stallone pic.

[–] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)
[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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 5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Vin Diesel was in Saving Private Ryan

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

That's not fair towards his performance

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 2 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 5 points 10 hours 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.

[–] inari@piefed.zip 135 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Dave Bautista killed it in that role

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Bautista and Cena have genuinely shocked me with their range and depth. Both have demonstrated the ability to showcase dramatic performances and (the harder one) comedic chops.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Ricky Stanicky was the best comedy since 2010.

[–] Prestron@lemmy.world 51 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Morton Sapper saw a miracle through those bitty specs.

Seriously, Bautista is great. That movie is amazing too.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

I thought this was from Knock at the Cabin, which he also wore glasses in.

[–] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

After seeing him in that role, he seems so underutilized in other movies.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 33 points 20 hours ago

It makes me think about how actors who we consider unremarkable might be hiding amazing performances if placed in the right role with great direction.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The version of this that I especially loathe is when they write the character like he's crushed by insecurities but gets instantly hot and confident once he takes the glasses off.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Girls are the same wear glasses and a Geek. Take them off and instant hotty.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

Is "not another teen movie" dead as a reference?

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Don’t forget to let the hair down too!

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

It's like he becomes some kinda super man or something.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

Man, Clark Kent and his stupid "disguise" can F right off.

[–] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 68 points 21 hours ago (14 children)

I'm sorry. The first three? I believe it - especially Ritchson. But I don't care what he looks like, there is zero chance I'm going to buy a "smart" Stallone

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 12 hours ago

Right? He doesn't even know about the three seashells
