How do you all view Martin Lawerence as an actor?

[Dillah810]

Probably one of the best physical comedy actors ever. I remember one time Chris Rock said that Martin will have you laughing for a solid 10 minutes w/o saying a word. Martin's physical comedy is that good

I think Martin is great as a supporting actor. He was great in Life, Boomerrang. and Bad Boys. He's got a few black classics under his belt. Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins is underrated tho.

Great when he was on his show with the exception of the last season of the show

His movies are pretty shytty outside of Thin Line, Talking Dirty After Dark, Life, and Bad Boys.

My friends and I had a discussion myself personally I don’t think Martin really has a lot of range to do more serious roles and I think he should stick to what he knows in comedic movies.

Whether you like A Thin Line between love and Hate or not I’m not judging if you do I personally don’t think the movie that good because that type of role doesn’t fit Martin. I think they should have went with one of three guys: Will, Jamie, or Larenz Tate.

i watched A Thin Line for the first time as an adult recently...hadnt seen it since i was much younger and unable to really grasp what the movie was about...

one thing i noticed immediately was his antagonist was playing her role 100% to the mark...she was acting as if she was classically trained and was flipping her emotions at the drop of a dime...she really killed it in that role...but at the same time she's giving her all to this character, you got Martin hamming it up making goofy ass faces..it almost feels like they are in 2 separate movies at the same time.

Exactly why i can’t take him serious in that role he could have easily been the character bobby brown was

It was basically the Martin tv show character with a Rated R script

Not a serious role, but you nikkas are gonna stop leaving out Nothing to Lose when you mention Martin’s best movies.

Such a underrated movie. Til this day whenever I get shyt in my eyes I be like "I CAN'T SEE shyt"

This is probably my favorite out of Martin's movies.

 

[The Unknown Hype]

He’s a decent comedy actor but he’s really hit or miss in dramatic scenes. I would have loved to see him stretch himself more in movies back in the day. Show is still a classic to me, like other people have said it felt like scripts held him back more than anything back in the day.
