A poor man's Margot Robbie


Really don't see it with this girls it is like a discount Margot Robbie. Sure, she is nice looking but that's about it. Average acting talent and is only riding on hype at the moment.

Man, you're tough. She only just starred in her first American leading role in 2019. I think she deserves more time to prove herself as an actor.

reply

She has been acting for the same time as Margot and yet...

reply

She has also been acting for the same amount of time (or less) as hundreds of young Australian actresses who have never even been in an international film, so....

reply

Good but she still can't compare to Margot, which is the point of the thread.

reply

Fair enough. I actually prefer Margot myself, but I think Samara has the talent and looks to have a decent career, which has only really just started. I can see her having a career similar to her uncle, which would be nothing to scoff at.

Margot's success is extraordinary and completely rare for an Aussie actress of her age. You could call any blonde actress under 30 a poor man's Margot, but I don't know if it's fair, that's all.

Well I'm poor. So come on down Samara Weaving !

lol

great reply!

As you may know there are five stages to an actor's/actress's career.
1. Who's Margot Robbie?
2. Get me Margot Robbie
3. Get me a Margo Robbie type
4. Get me a young Margot Robbie
5. Who's Margot Robbie?

Are speculating Samara Weaving's career will be stage 3 of Margo's career?

She was great in Ready or Not.

reply

that was 3 years ago.

reply

She was great. And that was a bad movie so that says something.

Samara Weaving is actually a lot better actress and has more charisma than Margot Robbie. And should have had better career that she has. But its hard to get on top in that showbiz. Margot Robbie got lucky and got on top. But she is not that interesting actually. That why her career is up and down all the time.

Margot Robbie is actually a supporting actress. She cant carry a movie. Thats why Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey floped. She is memorable when she plays supporting next to other actors. But when she has to carry movie by herself she is not that interesting.

reply

Glad to see someone else isn't bowled over by Margot Robbie. I don't see her as anything special. She was okay as Harley Quinn but I'm more than ready for a new take. And nothing else I've seen of her has impressed me.

reply

I actually think she might be aging a bit better than Margot.

reply

I think there is plenty of room for a Margot Robbie clone (who is, of course, a clone of Jaime Pressly).

I apologise for seeming so dismissive, since they're all distinct actors who bring something unique to the table, even if their looks are very similar.

Samara Weaving is arguably better at playing goofier and less assertive characters than Margot. She gives me a Michelle Pfeiffer at the start of Batman Returns vibe.

'I think there is plenty of room for a Margot Robbie clone (who is, of course, a clone of Jaime Pressly)'

My daughter just cannot see the resemblance between Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly for some reason.

reply

Really?

What do you think?

reply

I think at times she's a dead-ringer. More than once I've been convinced that a picture of Pressly was actually Robbie.

reply

the opposite, this one is prettier
