As other posters have mentioned, the IMDB board has become a hornet's nest of mean-spirited posters with nothing better to do but to smear actors. And with such bad thinking.
Here we have HOJU1 -- hiding safely behind anonymity -- claiming that Joseph Mazzello is an "awful actor", and that his acting is "utter crap". Yet HOJU1 never takes the trouble to mention why this is so, by detailing a given scene where his acting was supposedly "bad". To so so, of course, would mean that HOJU1 swould actualy have to back up what he says with actual evidence. It is much easier simply to utter two-worded phrases to smear somebody, without having to carry the thought further. This is what's known as bad writing.
If HOJU1 would look at JM's resume on IMDB, he would notice that he has won a number of acting awards. His student film won an award at an indie festival. One would think that the juries involved have some competence -- more competence than an semi-literate poster who can manage to grunt two-worded insults.
One poster, in reply, mentioned that all the acting in The Pacific was great. And I agree. One example of the imicilic mental level of the posting at IMDB are some of the negative coments about The Pacific. I do not agree with all of the biases or scenes in this series. But I come away from it thinking that this is a superb, sure-fire Emmy-award winning series -- a production at the very highest standard. Only a fool would think that the acting in this series is "utter crap". Yet there are too many fools making insulting comments, just for the sake of seeing insults in print.
