Michael B Jordan is a mediocre actor

[Ukbrotha]

I thought he was good as Killmonger. I didn't like him in the Farenheight movie though.

Also thought he was great in fruitvale and Creed.

So overall, ill say he's a pretty good actor.

 

[Premeditated]

Michael B Jordan is straight romantic comedy status. That's where his brand of acting fits

 

[Gentility]

Who?

Clint Eastwood

 

[FlyGuy]

The only thing Ive been impressed by him performance wise is the face acting he did towards the end of Farenheit

There's a great actor in there I think. It just sucks his skills haven't caught up to his star yet

Clint Eastwood

MBJ is on that plane, but no one calls Eastwood a GOAT actor.

He is a legendary star, but that’s not the same thing.

So basically without coogler he gets exposed

I watched the movie again today too and had similar thoughts. He isnt mediocre, but he is charismatic and it brings him through. But those scenes on the maglev against Chadwick showed how much better Chadwick is than Jordan. He ran laps around him at times.

I think he's a good actor, but Boseman is just a great actor.

It works for this film because Jordan's character is basically a boy or man child struggling with his emotions and fronting. How Boseman interprets those emotions displays the growth (not only in actors) but in characters.

I actually think a more dynamic and gifted actor might have not been the proper ying/yang of those two characters.

I was watching yesterday and thought the same

When he was at a normal tone he was fine but the scenes where he was trying to be menacing were WOAT.

He was delivering his lines like a Power Ranger villain

 

[Black Ball]

I agree with the sentiment here.

He's not great on every platform of the art of acting, but he does have a niche.

I think roles like Creed, where you are trying to capture a realistic, gritty type feel. He shines. In those roles you are looking for a more natural everyday guy type of feel, where you can have flaws.

Seems like he struggles when he needs to execute a real acting performance, that's not typical or standard.

See I don’t think he’s charismatic. Quite the opposite. Every line he delivered was pretty much in the same tone. I just couldn’t help to think some one like Marshalia Ali(i butchered his name I know) would have killed the role but he’s probably too old.

Ali would have been dope. He’s 43-44 so he’s only like a year older than Chadwick.

I think MBJ could be a damn good actor, but a better actor would have done a lot better here. I can’t see the argument against that.

If Sterling K. Brown was Killmonger, I think he does better.

The character didn’t match with his portrayal at all


Naw naw b that challenge shyt ova nahmean

 

[The G.O.D II]

Ali would have been dope. He’s 43-44 so he’s only like a year older than Chadwick.

I know Chadwick has been around but I though dude was at best mid 30 ish Don’t crack

 

[the cac mamba]

Surprised he made it past The Wire. His acting was trash in that too.
