I think he's a good actor, but I also think he just happens to fall into a lot of movies where another performance over shadows his.

Examples:

  • Titanic (Overshadowed by Kate Winslet)
  • Catch Me If You Can (Overshadowed by Christopher Walken)
  • Gangs of New York (Overshadowed by Daniel Day Lewis)
  • The Departed (Overshadowed by Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, etc.)
  • Blood Diamond (Overshadowed by Djmon Hounsou)
Those are a few examples. It doesn't happen all of the time, in fact, he's shown to hold his own on a lot of occasions (including some of those movies that I just named), but it does happen quite a bit.

one paper the character jack was playing was always going to overshadow leo's but as far as acting goes :patrice: dont really get why everyone (including the academy) gas up what wahlberg did.He barely did any acting he was just a potty mouth with a sharp tongue.Did the character have bravado? yeah.Was it a great performance? not particularly unless you rate wahlberg acting as himself?

This. But I think he is coming onto his own like I think he has done with his past few movies.

Adrien Brody had one fluke performance that just so happen to win him the Oscar.

he's not anywhere near on the level of the likes of Joaquin Phoenix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, or Leo

Completely disagree about Brody, he just chooses a lot of low profile projects and indie films plus he does a lot of work behind the camera.

Whenever I bring up The Departed around people, Wahlberg's performance is usually the first thing people talk about. :manny: Is it for the reasons you mentioned? Probably. Sometimes I think you don't need to put your all into a performance. Marlon Brando said he half assed most of his performances and look how many memorable roles he had. Alec Guinness said he thought the screenplay for Star Wars was banal and trite (in other words he thought it was bullshyt) and didn't take it seriously at all, and he was one of the many memorable things about ANH.

Face it. Only nikkas in the same galaxy as Leo right now are Pheonix and Fassbender. That's IT. And it's constantly changing in between those 3.

Fassbender and McQueen are going to be a goddamn force to be reckoned with if they keep working together through the years.

And lol @ even mentioning Pitt. Dude is pretty *pause* and has charisma and swag, but really isn't much more than an above average actor
