Stinks up everything he's in


Currently revisiting 'Prometheus' (yeah, I know.....shoot me) and whilst this movie has several other problems....Idris Elba doesn't help matters either (I'd actually forgotten he was in it, truth be told)

Does Elba enhance *any* movie?

I've just never gotten his over-shouty style of acting. He seems a bit too full of himself (both as characters and in interviews) I'm aware that women seem to like him, but is his career built entirely on and around that, because I see zero acting talent on screen He's like the black Tom Hardy....completely useless, vastly overrated, yet oddly (and inexplicably) over-employed?
