Dave Bautista is undoubtedly the only actor with range in this picture.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Arnold has a pretty broad range, just lacking the depth.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

you don't think Alan Ritchson has range?

I'm not sure of my own opinion on it, tbh. but I was introduced to him as Thad, so seeing him later on in serious roles was a head turner

Whys thad in the cookie race?

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I’m assuming the people who think that have only been introduced to him in reacher and a few action movies since then.

[–] Enzy@feddit.nu 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I first saw him in Smallville and thought he was equally as stiff then.

But he definitely nailed Reacher.

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Watch a single episode of Blue Mountain State and see what you think about him having no range.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I'm so used to him being Thad that it's quite surprising to see him in something that's not a comedy at this point

Stallone had some range at one time.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dude, Rocky is a great movie. And First Blood showed some range, too.

I love Demolition Man and Daylight for reasons other than range.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can be a great actor and have no range, it just means you're typecast. Some people fall into it over time, some start that way.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Try Cop Land. Not your typical Stallone pic.

I remember seeing this and thinking “wow, he can actually act.” And it’s inconceivable that someone like the Rock or Vin Diesel would do a movie like that.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Vin Diesel was in Saving Private Ryan

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

That was early in his career. When Stallone made Cop Land he was a guy who (despite some recent missteps) could get movies made. He chose the role to show his acting ability. Once Vin Diesel had that kind of juice he put riders into his contracts about whether or not his character could lose a fight.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was a very minor character. Who died very early on too.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not fair towards his performance

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's absolutely fair because it is absolutely true. Those are simply facts. His entire performance was basically one scene which I thought came off a teeny bit of ham fisted but not bad. He simply was not in the movie all that much. To say otherwise is simply inaccurate.

[–] chris@l.roofo.cc 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Funnily he's also the only one where the glasses look good.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Aww, I think Arnold looks cute here
