Jack Nicholson is a terrible actor


TRIGGER WARNING: POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

He's good at performances where he's supposed to be crazy and over-the-top, because that's all he's good at. When he tries to play more serious and dramatic roles, he completely fails, and just looks goofy and cartoonish.

And that's your opinion. I respect your opinion, but I completely disagree.

I do not respect his opinion. Can we even call it an opinion or just uninformed trolling? Would you respect the opinion of someone who says "Michael Jordan was a terrible basketball player"?

reply

What films does he fail in?

reply

Completely agree. Jack Nicholson plays Jack Nicholson in every film. He's not the great actor people want to make him out to be.

reply

LOL... yeah his roles in the King of Marvin Gardens, Ironweed, Chinatown and About Schmidt were all crazy?!? Pointless and ignorant thread. Yawn.

Five Easy Pieces disagrees

Well NO Jack was awesome in the 1970's ... Ironweed and a few others after The Shining were good. It's the movies that sucked. He picked a lot of ones I would only watch if I had and that's if I had a Jack marathon.
