So painfully overrated


Malkovich is the finest example of a hammy actor who has made a career out of portraying the same character in every role he's taken on. He's boring and tedious. Perhaps he and Mandy Patinkin were separated at birth.

A lot of people like his style. So do a lot of directors.

Totally!! Overrated? Seriously? Not a word I'd ever apply to this versatile talent. :/ I've never failed to enjoy any of his work (or his looks!)...

reply

Versatile? Maybe you and I have a different definition of the word but this guy is the same in everything.

reply

My definition's the same as Merriam-Webster's...
He may have a rather distinctive appearance and cadence to his voice that marks him as "him" in the back of your mind, yet he's still managed to convincingly portray different people in comedies, dramaedies, dramas, sci-fi movies, action movies...
