Also, he's generally just a nice guy, which is a plus. And a nerd, and likes Warhammer 40k, this stuff adds up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Heartofice said: Lol, didn’t know he was in that, he must have been about 12?! Hardly fair. Plus it’s exactly the sort of movie he wouldn’t be suited to. . 19 when it came out, so likely 18 when shooting. That version is a much more happy version than the book in the end, but the acting in it was pretty decent all around. Except for him. He was awful. Quote Again, disagree, he plays a very similar, stiff character in almost every role these days, but he pulls it off pretty well. He’s good in Man from Uncle and Fallout, any time he’s played superman and he’s easily the best thing in The Witcher. He does the job that is required and is good at that one thing. Wasn't The Man from Uncle largely panned in part because he was not good in it? And I could only get through a few episodes of The Witcher. It wasn't good, but then again I also gave up on the video game as well because my god, boring ass game and you constantly died from random things. Give me a truly gritty GTA movie and I'm in.

Bringeth Roman Power to its bony knees! 8 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: In the Tudors, he very solidly managed to follow the character journey of Charles Brandon and portray the range that character went through. He bought me there and then. Really enjoyed his Tudor character too. Not as much as Kris Holden-Ried as Sir William Compton though. But both of them provided much needed light touches, performed perfectly. 9 hours ago, Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II said: He’s brilliant in that show. Not brilliant. Merely perfect. Different things.

Dude, none of us are ever perfect in relationships - it comes with the territory about learning to be less sucky in relationships. My comment was focused mostly around his professional behaviour, on set, in public, etc. Thus, "generally" a nice guy. RhaenysBee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the better known actors who were in Spartacus is Manu Bennett (who was in the Hobbit and that dreadful D list fantasy, Shannara chronicles), maybe you’re mixing him up with Henry Cavill?

Heartofice Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Cavill was also in the interesting but not very good Immortals wearing loincloth and sandals so it might be that. That was pre-superman bulk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaP Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Finally saw Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One with the wife. Holy damn. This movie makes some choices and swings for the rafters and goes hard. It's an exceptionally well-lit, colored, and filmed movie, with great moments of comedy, particularly during the car chase sequences. The wife squealed with delight during one particularly hilarious moment in Rome involving vehicular doughnuts. The movie just does not let up, however, and really doesn't slow down for anything. From the very start, it mashes down on the Big Red GO! Button and doesn't stop until the end credits. It is relentless. dbunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
