Why is Ryan Reynolds the EXACT SAME character in all of his movies

[The Devil's Advocate]

Because it works.

This....

Kevin Hart once told a lesson he learned from Eddie Murphy. Eddie was explaining why most comedians don't have good acting careers. He said that comedians always want to try and ACT like someone else. Disappear into some role. If they wanted you to disappear, they'd call and hire a real actor. They want me playing Eddie Murphy, playing a cop. Or me playing Eddie Murphy, playing an ex con. They want the laugh. The voice. The jokes. The comedian...... They don't come to a Kevin Hart movie to watch him act like Denzel Washington..



You think it's so simple, but it's truth. People hire RR to see Van Wilder. They don't want to see him playing some straight lawyer. They'd just call Leo or somebody for that. They don't want Tiffany Haddish acting like Julia Roberts. They'd just call Julia Roberts. No they need a ghetto black woman, call Tiffany.. They need a boyish grown ass silly man... Call Ryan... They need a funny black guy but not too ghetto, call Kevin...


They wouldn't even call these people if they came in trying to seriously act.

Some actors have range, others are "personality" actors...they are in a movie because of the personality they bring. Reynolds is one example of a personality actor. Clint Eastwood is another. Other actors have a combo of range and personality like Al Pacino.

We could start a subforum on all the threads people make hating this dude, I got 10 minutes into the space "Life" movie and started a thread

You're in for a pleasant surprise

You're in for a pleasant surprise

yeah this was a while back, had me rooting for the villain

Jack Nicholson

Name the roles specifically

shyt, cats say Denzel does the same shyt too!

I do think his performance as Alonzo in Training Day was legit Best Actor material esp seeing him be the villain for once. And he did the shyt so smoothly. Was better than his Malcolm X performance IMO because of that.

Spoiler: people say it for practically every actor because they can't actually gage acting ability

 

[Wiles]

Because it works.

This

I hope he keeps it up

 

[85 East]

Because he's primarily hired to be a "movie star" and not an actor...

 

[kwazzy100]

Thats why he loves the deadpool role, because it's perfect for his van wilder acting.

Plus, he's Canadian, knows how to us swords, and has experience action movies. He was born to play Deadpool.

Nah, it is most actors. Denzel has range, leo has range, Johnny Depp had range.. most of these actors, especially the "funny" ones just being they damn self or they some kind of type cast.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

It doesnt matter if it is Deadpool, Green Lantern, 6 Underground, Hobbs and Shaw, RIPD etc

He ALWAYS resorts to his one trick pony shtick which is Van Wilder. I mean every single movie. The only move that he remotely tried to be an actual actor was the movie with Denzel Washington I think it was called safe house. Even then he still had moments of Van Wilder.

Why is that?

He made me not like Deadpool. As a person who has read Deadpool comics, that was more Ryan Reynolds than Deadpool. Way too over the top.

 

[Roid Jones]

Not a great actor and he keeps getting passes to do so by Hollywood

Sandra Bullock is the same. Breh Bokeem Woodbine too .

Unless you can actually act ..
