re: A new topic that has never been discussed before: Most OVERRATED Actor

Robert Downey Jr kind of sucks.

No you didn't.

While recently he's been doing blockbusters, you're completely forgetting about an amazing career before tony stark.
I give you:
- Game 6
- kiss kiss bang bang
- the singing detective
- wonder boys
- two girls and a guy
- wonder boys
- zodiac
- less than zero
- Chaplin

Now if you've watched all of the above movies and you still think that he "kind of sucks", then fair enough.

On a side note, I was really looking forwarded to him teaming up with pt Anderson in Inherent Vice. he had to back out of the role, and it was subsequently given to Joaquin Phoenix, who will do a fine job I have no doubt. But it would have been nice to see a departure from the big budget movies of late from RDJ.

As far as overrated I'd say George clooney, as an actor. I think he's really good but not Jesus the way a lot of critics praise him. I think his biggest strength is attaching himself to incredible source material. He is a very smart guy that chooses interesting roles, but in just about all of them I could see another actor playing the same part, and probably doing it better. With all of that said, I usually love the movies he's a part of.
