Can Sam Wothington make a good movie?


With the exception of the Terminator movie he was in, everything I've seen Sam Worthington in has been terrible. Most notably Gash of the Tight Ones and Ham on a Lid. This dude is like the new Colin Farrell.

I don't know, I don't think he's ever "made" any movies. As far as I know he's just acting in them.

reply

Depends, at least he had a consistent accent in this movie.

I guess you can add Avatar 2 and 3 to that list in a couple of years time.

Insert @V@T@R

reply

No he didn't, in this movie is accent constantly shifted from new york to Australian, never mind his hammy acting.

reply

You serious? He started out with a new york twang but it quickly fell into aussie. Sounds like Russell Crowe at times

reply

Like christofer j16 sad, he did not make those movies, because he is a Actor only.

And in Avatar he was great, i am sorry you did not like it but most of the people
that goes to movies liked it, because it made about 2,8 billion.

And allot of movies he plays in make Worldwide Hundreds of millions, like:


Terminator Salvation: $371,353,001

Avatar: $2,782,275,172

Clash of the Titans: $493,214,993

Wrath of the Titans: 301,970,083

So yes i think he is a good actor, and if people didn't like him in dose movies
(where he is the lead player actor) those movies would not make so much.


It's that simple.

You're right, money talks.

Plus, I don't think that James Cameron cast Sam because he (Mr Cameron) was in a good mood when Sam Worthington had his audition for Avatar . Consider this as Breaking News: You will see Avatar 2 and 3. I'm thinking that James Cameron was quite accurate in choosing his future star for those Avatars.

As for the actor's accents,I'm bored to hear you all: Canadian accent, Britt accent, Aussie accent... For God sake, I do understand that Hollywood is in USA.

What does allot mean?

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, Darling!

reply

I liked him on Rogue http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479528/
An australian movie where he played a bad guy.

But, you're right, besides Avatar & Terminator, he hasn't make a good one

reply

avatar , wrath of the titans !!!!!!!

reply

Have you seen The Debt, he gave a very strong role in it. I like him and enjoy many of his films. I do not care a damn about the accent..Some Americans are so painstaking that they can not supposedly enjoy a movie where there is not a perfect accent.

reply

The Debt was good but it was the older version of agents who were stellar.But then again Helen Mirren,Tom Wilkinson and the rest were well regarded actors

reply

Oh, come on...
I think this film (The Debt) will depend essentially on the younger generation

reply

Yes, and i think he is absolutely no fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Jet Li or jackie chan, or Jean-Claude Van Damme (only his older movies), and many more that has no good accent in American movies, some people are just acting stupid.

reply

hehehe "with the exception of the Terminator movie he was in." That was an abomination to film. Salvation was one of the most horrendous pieces of #$&$ I have seen in years, and it's about 80% due to the last 5 minutes (anyone who has seen it will remember, "take mine!" as what should be the single worst line in movie history.)

Sorry, just had to chime in there. And what's funny is that I actually enjoyed Clash, NOT because it was a good movie but because it was exactly what I was expecting: entertaining special effects fodder. Like Immortals.

reply

Have you seen Avatar?

yeah, funny like a funeral.

reply

Actually I loved Dirty Deeds http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280605/
but he only had a minor role there, but still.
