What can Denzel do that Michael B can't. I think some of you want some whiny european styled crybaby nikkas. That is not what Michael B or Denzel are here for,they are here to play masculine male leads who at times show vulnerablity. And because they are so masculine it impacts the viewer to see them in vulnerable states. But Denzel is mostly Denzel,he is calm and powerful,or intense and powerful. Michael B is a great actor in my book.

And on this comparison, if yall can give Denzel passes for these bland ass Equalizer movies (don't make me bump them threads), yall can let MBJ live

All of MBJ's masculinity and presence is tied up in his physique though. Denzel, DeNiro, Pacino - those great actors can do it through on-screen presence and delivery, where MBJ really lacks IMO. Dude's just not subtle in acting. Denzel became Malcolm X. Became Alonzo. Would you trust MBJ to play those types of larger than life people / characters?

watch the wire and fruitvale station

he's a megastar now so he's coasting.

i thought he was fine in creed. i haven't seen the new one. i wasn't really impressed with his acting in black panther, but those marvel movies don't really have good acting from anyone, lol. they're set pieces that bring comic books to life and don't have offensively bad acting to take you out of it.

I would say he had it in FruitVale as well. I love Denzel but I wouldn't put him in the same category as Deniro:comeon:. Denzel is as far from Deniro,as MBJ is from Denzel. Undeniable talents,but different levels of greatness still. I think most of you need to realize he's really starred in nothing but blockbusters not meant to showcase acting talent and lighten up. I don't see anybody busting on The Rocks acting chops:mjlol:. Under the circumstances he's outacted and held hi own with great actors in these blockbuster movies. He sure had pressence enough to steal the show from Tchallas subtle acting. I would argue yes he could become Alonzo based on Killmonger. Denzels Malcolm portrayl is overated and he is still basically Denzel,I could actually argue its a bad portrayl of Malcolm.

Your takes are terrible top to bottom, all in the name of caping for MBJ...:wow:
This is one of the coli’s favorite tropes. The only place you see this too.
except I’ve seen this conversation on other forums/social media and have had it in real life, most recently as yesterday with my trainer who went to see this movie on Thursday. Coli’s favorite trope is acting like certain topics and conversations only come up on the coli as a way to deflect when they disagree :comeon:
