Can Scott really be the next big action star??


Stallone has acting chops, schwarzenegger has charisma, van damme had good looks...all of the classic actioners had there main selling points bit does Scott?? I absolutely enjoy his fil.s but his acting outside of Boyka is not great. He is built like a tank but maybe not boyishly handsome. Can he really be a tentpole actioner based on his martial arts skills alone??

I feel that Scott is great in his fight scenes as a martial artist but doesn't show no emotion or is lacking something that the big action stars have.

But as no brainier action flims go he is good at what he does perhaps a big budget flim is only around the corner for him

Yep, switch off and enjoy is basically the catchphrase of his career!! Everyone should buythis film thos so we get ro see him in undersputed 4!!!

I think his acting is getting better I am not saying he is Oscar Worthy but he is getting better,I understand the Legend of Hercules was a terrible movie I thought Scott's acting was really good. I would say he deserves to star in bigger budget action movies

Scott is really easy on the eyes. Kind of looks like Ben Affleck too. Had no idea who he was until I saw this film. He has potential for stardom!

reply

Only if they let him be a badass. This nice guy crap makes him look boring. It's not for everybody. Van Damme can pull it off bc he's a better actor than most action stars but Adkins is kind of one-dimensional. But he really lit up the screen as Boyka in the Undisputed movies. Not saying he should play only play villains but maybe anti-heroes

reply

Yes.

To be fair, all of the movies I've seen Adkins in do not give him the opportunity to be anything other than one dimensional. A lot of this depends on the story and directing.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

Scott Adkins, Terry Crews, and Michael Jai White are prime for the picking as big name action stars. Too bad nobody with money and advertising power sees them as anything beyond 2nd string.

Scott is is my eyes a real star also in real person, he is charismatic and very very nice while being in total balance, ripped, sharp as hell, and super skilled....

Now that's an example the action fans need right now as almost all the other action stars are out of balance in their real life, with drugs, many women, parties... its not about that..

Scott has it all.. really. When you talk to him in private you can feel his power.
Hes a very hard worker and a big example in my eyes. The love for what he does and his personality, balance, skills, acting, charisma is an amazing combination which as a real star in my eyes...

*** action stars on drugs, many paries, women etc.. lost their power already and Scott is not like this. Hes the man right now, he totally is and thats what people need after being desilusioned by some action stars who totally lost it... (I wont mention names)
