I love me some Kurt Russell.

I think he's a pretty underrated actor.

That's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see how it works out for him.

Nothing shitty about his acting in Captain Ron, swab.

But honestly I think he is decent, nothing special.

I think Kurt Russell is a fine actor. There are definitely much much worse.

I think he's slightly above average. I thought he was great in Backdraft, though.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?"

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."

I know "Death Proof" doesn't get much love on here, but he was money in that. He had some great lines.

Shitty by no means. Had some really great roles that he owned. Tombstone alone takes him to another level.

Russell is a good actor and has been excellent in quite a few movies. Dark Blue is one of the better examples and he is absolutely great in it. I love him in Death Proof, Big Trouble, the Escape movies, Breakdown- yes, he is good. He even directed Tombstone evidently.

I know what you mean, Blair. Trust's a tough thing to come by these days. Tell you what - Why don't you just trust in the Lord?

I forgot about this one. That movie has my all time favorite line of his:

"Stop? You want me to stop? I bet this baby stops on a fricking dime!"

may not be the exact quote, but it was something like that

Thought he was great in "The Best of Times," "Tombstone," "Miracle," "Overboard," Tango & Cash." Yeah, I think he's a good actor.

Well it seems the consensus is that no, he is not a shitty actor.
