Is this a trollpost?
Because he's at his best when he has little dialoge
i also said good writing for his actions, presumably being given proper subtext and maybe even some good directing so that he at least moves in an interesting way even if not speaking. if he is written and directed in a way that just has him staring at people, that is, in my opinion, when he goes off the rails because he is kind of creepy when he has nothing to say or do.

Agree with this thread. People thought his acting in Drive was some revelation when he said nothing and had the same facial expression for 90% of the movie. Dude has been making the same face and talking the same horrible way since he played that gump in remember the titans. Not a surprise the most successful film he's been a part of has him with damn near no scree time. I'm not even sure homie was relevant enough in ROT to get one of the spots in the last flash forward video at the end of the movie.

His most successful movie is 'Crazy, Stupid, Love,' and he has plenty of screen time in that.

He might not necessairly show range like people expect but I think hes pretty good with his presence he brings to the screen. Particularly Half-Nelson, Lars and the Real Girl, Crazy, Stupid Love and Ides of March.

I thought he was good in Fracture. :ld:

Not a terrible actor by any stretch of the imagination.

his next movies coming out in 2013, including the latter being re united with Drive director on Only God Forgives, will revigorate this topic. i for one am on the side of good actor when it comes to Gosling. he comes off to me as a younger DiCaprio, if you remember how his films were prior to Titanic and then post Titanic, two completely different actors
yeah post titantic hes only worked with "named" directors.Kind of hard to look bad when you are working with the industries best

Although I've come to realize that Gosling is indeed not this "great" actor that he's sometimes made out to be, i still think it's an insult to compare him to Keanu.

Keanu is horrendous.

Gangster Squad looked cheesy in the trailer. I assumed it was a cash grab by the cast from jump.

Gosling can act. end of story. no one ever said reeves could act lol

for sure, the comparison is ridiculous. Reeves was an historically bad actor, perhaps the worst big time actor in modern history. He could only strike one note in his movies, had zero range, and his characters had the depth of a teaspoon. Goslling may be a tad overrated, and getting by on his looks, but hes in another galaxy when compared to reeves.

Word, fukk what y'all think of Gosling. It's the fact that Keanu has been presented as even some sort of once-been that has me :why:

All classics made with Keanu have been so in spite of him and/or because they mocked him (neo using the WHOA line)

Back in the days, I used to watch The Mickey Mouse Club. :skip:

Ryan had a segment where he revealed he was a huge Common stan. :ohhh:

Been a fan ever since. :jawalrus:

Carried the Matrix? First time I seen someone say that :ohhh:. How the hell did he carry the Matrix? It was the story and special effects that made Matrix...damn near every decent actor could've played that role just as well or better. How Keeanu kept getting major roles is a fukking mystery to me. His performance in Devil's Advocate damn near ruined that movie

This and "Beyond The Pines" look pretty damn good.

yessss, powerful cast in that Pines flick and kinda diff role for gosling as well. only god forgives though, even in that small 20 sec mini trailer, u can see that dark gritty "drive" vibe him and that director seem to have an affinity for. as much as i enjoyed drive, im syked for to see that film.
