I do. I think he really dominated every scene he was in, even over cruise. he just had that certain onscreen charisma some people have when they are really nailing a role.
i also predict he will go on to be way bigger after this; mark my word.
Which one was hangman?
shareWhich one was hangman?
Thanks for replying, but my post was tongue in cheek. Asking who the character was in response to a post that he stole the show.
shareHe wasn't the stereotypical male beta that took crap and sulked, like they love to portray males these days... you know, Bob.
Can't even be a proper bloke without criticism and wanton manufacturing to degrade a gender from some ex tech ops....
Hangman : American "can do" determinism and cockiness personified !
shareOver the top and cartoony.
shareI don't know where ya'll are getting that from. The whole damn movie was over the top, lol.
shareYeah. So that really says something when he out over-the-top the over the top movie.
It was a pretty stereotypical portrayal of arrogance, completely on the nose as if it was a parody. Perpetual side-smirk? Check. Gnawing on a toothpick? Check. "Well well well, look what we have here" type line readings? Check. The way he played it was just short of mustache twirling villian.
but dude, what is wrong with any of that? This was not godfather pt IV lol
i guess we saw different movies, or maybe we have extremely varying tastes
i say, he stole the show
you dont know me but i have a knack for predictions. you write it down and get back to me in 5-7 years
-Never said anything was inherently wrong with it, but in my opinion the performance was over the top and cartoony. And apparently I'm not alone in that interpretation. He was a walking movie trope.
-Any prediction you may have isn't exactly going out on a limb. The doors become wide open for just about anyone involved in one of the all-time box office successes.
Yiure a pleasure to interact with
shareWhy do you say that? Because I disagree with you? That was a weird comment lol
shareno, because you're coming off as being contrarian for contrarianism's sake
shareHow do you get that?
I disagree with your take, and I listed valid reasons why. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong.
Again, clearly I'm not alone in my assessment.
So just because I didn't come on this board to be like "Hell yeah" just makes me a contrarian?🤔
Labeling me without valid reason feels a little like when having a discussion with a woman and they start tossing the word "mansplain" around because they think it's a trump card.
What I'm getting out of it is: "Here's my post, so agree with me. If you don't, you're just a contrarian. I'd you do, please post your sentence of agreement so I can validate my own side."
The whole cast did great in their part. I agree, yes. Hangman stole the show. Also, we should expect to see Glen Powell in more main stream movies he is awesome in this movie. He has been rumoured to play the MCU's X-Men's Cyclops, hope to see him play that character.
shareHe was like a second rate Iceman to me. It was a good performance but the actor lacked the charisma of Val Kilmer.
shareMustang, i thought hangman was meant to be representing slider not iceman. But now that you said that yiu got me reconsidering....
shareI can see that as well, he is more subtle than Iceman, has more of a sidekick vibe to him. The actors looks and style reminds me a little of Ryan Reynolds.
His arrogance though and ambition is all Iceman to me. In case I was getting that wrong I just looked up the character and it confirms he is supposed to be a Iceman type on the Maverick Wiki page.
