Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2004 I agree...Ice Cube is actually, honestly a pretty decent actor who has shown some range...sure it's not a wide range, but he's covered comedy, drama and action and has done fairly well...his movies aren't always the best, but he himself usually shines in everything he's in...now Vin Diesel? eh...

Guest Jimmy Saint Report post Posted December 21, 2004 I think Ice Cube is a fucking awfull actor. How can anyone say he has range when he plays the same role in every single film he has ever made, the only difference is he is abit angrier in some of them. The mad thing is I really like alot of the films he has made ie Three Kings, Friday, Trespass, boyz in the Hood and Barbershop. Can Ice Cube carry a film like the new XXX though thats built on the star and not an ensemble ? I doubt it. This is gonna be a major flop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaye Yes after watching that preview it is much more of an ensemble than the first and I thought it would be. I mean Ice Cube doesent even turn up till a minute in and then you start to cringe. It does look like Willem Dafoe and Samuel L. Jackson are totally phoning this one in though and picking up their [i hope for both their sakes its good] paycheck. I still think this is gonna flop big time and take a few careers with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 I actually think this looks a lot better than the first movie. Even if Dafoe is cashing the paycheck I'll take an overacting, paycheck cashing Willem Dafoe over the Eurotrash dipshit who was the heel in the first one. Anyone want to argue that?

How can anyone say he has range when he plays the same role in every single film he has ever made, the only difference is he is abit angrier in some of them. Just because someone plays the same role in every movie, doesn't make him a horrible actor. Hell, DeNiro has done the same type of character for the past 300 years. And you don't hear anyone saying he is an awful actor. Okay, that is a bad comparison. But I can't think of any other actors who play the same role in every movie, that are good actors. Right now. There has to be a few... Who am I kidding, Ice Cube isn't that good. But hell, what rappers turn actors are any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimmy Saint Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Who am I kidding, Ice Cube isn't that good. But hell, what rappers turn actors are any good? Tupac was very promising in Gridlocked and makes me wonder to this day if he could have avoided the stupid Hollywood action flicks and made a few decent films if given the right roles. There could still be hope in Mos Def. I am waiting on the Hollywood 'Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy' remake to make a judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 no Ice Cube can't carry an entire film on his own, there are a ton of good actors who can't carry an entire film...Morgan Freeman and Bill Paxton are a couple that spring to mind...brilliant actors but their names alone aren't going to carry the flick... Mole hit it on the head by comparing Oshea Jackson to Robert DeNiro or hell even Al Pacino...rarely do those guys play something other than tough man with a potty mouth and bad attitude...hell even in Meet The Parents, DeNiro played a bad ass... what I meant by his range is that he obviously can pull off the dramatic roles well: street thug in Boyz In The Hood, very smart yet very angry college student in Higher Learning. comedy rolls: stoned slacker in Friday, struggling businessman in Barbershop and pretty much anyone can pull off action roles given the right script, FX and director...Anaconda was shit but he himself was good...Ghosts Of Mars (that was the title right?) was shit but he was good... what's the problem with Oshea's acting?

Mole 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Who is Oshea Jackson? Ten bucks says he, if it is even a he since I don't know what gender Oshea belongs too seeing how it is the first time I ever heard such a weird ass name, has a fake nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beingz0wningj00 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 "Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal" "I like that, who said it, Jefferson, Patton?" "No, Tupac." Heh... I think that echoes the statement I have for this movie. However for the record... comparing Deniro's characters to Ice Cube's is just downright insulting. With Deniro... you can truly believe he's the character he's portraying... Ice Cube is always... Ice Cube. A hardcore nigger who seldom changes. Still very entertaining. This does indeed look better then the first and I'm sure Dafoe and Jackson can add enough zest to it to make it work. It seems they have enough love for the movie to put some effort into it, and with lines like the Tupac, it does seem they are taking it fairly lightly. I don't think I'll be wasting my time watching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
