srsly the only reason some of his movies are meh is bc he looked cool doing the mafia guy.
but he doesnt know to do anything else and doing the same look everytime makes it boring.
lets face it, he sucks. he doesnt know how to act bc if he did he would know how to be different in every movie
Blatant ploy for attention is rather pathetic, though not as pathetic as the fact that I feel it's worth my time to respond.
Robert De Niro is an excellent actor, though yes, he tends towards his typical mafia shtick. In the past, however, he has was a very versatile actor. I recommend before making presumptions about the limitations of his acting that you check out a few of the following non-mafia movies:
1.The Deer Hunter
2.Taxi Driver
3.Cape Fear
4.Raging Bull
5.The King of Comedy
And although I (love) hate to attack someone based on their personal taste, the fact that you gave The Godfather a 1/10 and rated Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo a 9/10 tells me that the problem here may not be De Niro's acting...
I second that motion... with a vengeance!
Love this comment.

OP = moron
shareI want you to take a look at a film entitled 'Awakenings', starring DeNiro and the late Robin Williams. If you still believe that DeNiro can't act (which is absurd), then I will consider that perhaps you think that Kim Kardashian is a good actor.
shareShut up you foul smelling, goat eating,bottom feeder.
Hahahahaha never seen a proper film in your life have you
Godfather 1/10? You must really know your stuff
First time I've heard that one, You're clueless.
shareLets face it... Somebody has no idea about DeNiro's great range of performances!
"Worst/Best movie EVER!" posts
are science fiction and should be deleted!
katiexoxo I agree. Not just with your post but with your ratings as well. It's quite pathetic they have to attack you because of it because you have different opinion.
I also agree De Niro sucks. But be careful, these so called movie experts will eat you alive if you have different taste in movies than them/critics.
What kind of self-righteous contrarian are you?
You and your buddy pontificate how bad a certain actor we like is, and yet you're now somehow the martyrs in this situation when someone attacks your taste in film? Hypocrisy at its most blatant.
Now, if you'll excuse me, me and my fellow "movie experts" have to go watch some esoteric art films and lambaste people who don't like them.
"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
Lol at the last part. If you were sarcastic, you'd be blind to ignore the truth in your sarcasm :D
But yeah, he/she didn't go to your thread where you stated your opinion (doesnt matter if you did or did not) and attacked you because of it... so where is the hypocrisy in that?
When you make a thread, you're not just sharing an opinion, you're making an assertion and opening it up to discussion. The OP's (quite dogmatic) assertion was that Robert DeNiro is a bad actor. The retaliation from people who like DeNiro was that it is the OP, and not themselves, that has bad taste.
Now true, the OP did not attack any individual person's opinion, but they still managed to assault the general opinion of many. You see, there's a big difference between saying "I don't agree with..." and "this thing you like is incontrovertibly bad..."
The hippocratic part was when you made yourself and the OP out to be persecuted by us "movie experts", whilst disregarding the fact that you're doing the same thing as us.
"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
When I make a thread, it is to share opinion. I'm not saying everyone has to ignore it and is not allowed to disagree. And ofcourse discussion is allowed.
If you think that name calling and similar childish stuff is a "discussion" then I'm not surprised of your taste in movies :D
I don't condone name-calling; I never said I did.
Also, taste in films is not really indicative of maturity. Case in point, Ingmar Bergman fans' first response to detractors is usually to suggest suicide.
"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
Was it not you who assumed that the OP is pathetic and attention seeker in your first post? I find that pretty hostile response just because the person said what he/she thinks.
shareCalling a post pathetic is different than calling a person pathetic. Yes, neither are nice, but they're not both ad hominem insults. Was I too hostile, though? Yes, probably.
Since the OP decided to denounce a very well liked actor on a public forum, it's not unreasonable to assume they were looking for attention, nor is it necessarily an insult.
"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
They're different meanings but both targetted at OP.
So basically you're saying because OP dared to speak his mind then the fierce defenders of critically well received actors and movies have to hurry to attack him.
I think the OP was just wondering why it SEEMS that most people praise de niro so much. And had I seen this thread sooner, I'd have told OP that I agree. Does that seem like attention seeking to you? These forums are pathetic.
Btw, I checked your ratings and they seem pretty reasonable, I don't mean to offend youor make you look bad but I just hate when people can't tell what they think about movies or actors without "revenge" from people who think otherwise.
I'm going to respond in a different format this time:
They're different meanings but both targetted at OP.
I think the OP was just wondering why it SEEMS that most people praise de niro so much. And had I seen this thread sooner, I'd have told OP that I agree. Does that seem like attention seeking to you? These forums are pathetic.The OP was not wondering anything. They wanted to assert that DeNiro is undoubtedly a bad actor. They make no reference to personal opinion or not understanding appeal, just to the "fact" that DeNiro's a bad actor.
If I say "De niro is a worthless actor" then I'm implying that this is what I think (an opinion). I may believe it to be a fact but it's still just a belief (an opinion).
It's a fact that OP posted his opinion.
Also it's not unpopular opinion, maybe it seems that way but it's just an assumption. There is no proof that majority of humanity considers him or his movies good.
Sure, but if you say "Let's face it, De Niro sucks" you're telling us that it is an indisputable fact which we should acquiesce to.
And yes, Robert DeNiro is consistently thought of as a good actor. That doesn't mean you have to conform to the popular opinion, but it is the popular opinion.
Here's some anecdotal evidence: take note of how many people responded to the OP agreeing (2 including the OP) vs. how many disagreed (everyone else).
"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
It's just the same thing said using different words. To claim something is a fact requires proof otherwise it's an opinion.
Thought of as a good actor by who? :D
It's your opinion that it is popular opinion, since you have no proof.
Even if whole imdb (maybe millions of users) said de niro is good actor it's still a very small percentage of the world. (and to be honest, imdb is not realiable especially with ratings and troll users)
We could speculate all we want, but I'll agree to disagree because this is pointless.
Absolutely it's pointless. Do you realize that it would be impossible to prove such a thing.
So, yes, I suppose that it's just my belief, but can you really, honestly say that you think otherwise? Being contentious and stubborn for the sake of it is tiresome.
