How do you pick a lead who can't Act?


Would like to know the reasoning behind that.

Because Gal Gadot was the only dark-haired actress left who was willing to work with Snyder after MOS.

What Oscar winning actress would want to be a part of this mess?

Talk to the producers of the Transformers, Fast and Furious and TV soap operas?

Also what reason do you need? I take it you're not sold of Gadot, fine. I can understand the concern of her being able to carry a full movie but I'll wait and see. Besides it isn't being directed by Zack Snyder so hopefully a director who can direct actors will get a better performance out her.

You're face to face with the Man Who Sold the World.

Good call and hopefully Jenkins will have more connection or repoire with her actors. Christopher Nolan is average with his actors too. Nolan and Synder are more conceptual artists by my book and shouldn't be directing. The main problem will be the script and the story is by Snyder, so I'm not so sure at this stage going by the trailer. Chris Pine looks goofy.

Or how about we save judgment until the movie comes out?

reply

How about we discuss what we see at face value at this stage. It is after all a chat thread.

Well, fortunately they did pick a good actress for WW in Gadot.

Stupid P'takh!

She can't act yet her performance is among the best received things about Batman versus Superman which featured Batman and Superman?

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

reply

I know. These haters never give it a rest--she can't act, she is too skinny, her boobs are too small, she's Jewish, her accent sucks, she slept with her director. Enough already.

reply

She did nothing that an extra or stunt double could not do. Besides, being the highlight of BvS isn't anything to write home about.

It started with Man of Steel...and continues.
