The go-to answer for mindless lemmings.

Is he a great actor? Sure.

Let's take a look at his relevant films from the past 15 years:

Lincoln- blew arse

There will be Blood-

Gangs of New York- kicked arse, his best role and it's not even close imo.

Last of the Mohicans- awesome movie, but his acting wasn't really a major factor.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being- never seen it

The Crucible- never seen it

My Left Foot- never seen it, heard good things.

Picking quality over quantity is respectable, but the roles he's been nominated for would have received critical praise no matter who played the characters, with the exception of Bill the Butcher, which he didn't even win anything for.

He was amazing in The Crucible. But let's give credit to Arthur Miller as well and Tennessee Williams for one of Brando's signature moments.

Say what you want about Lincoln the movie, DDL's performance in that movie was awesome.

There will be Blood

As with Lincoln, say what you want about the film but you can't deny his performance was amazing.

Gangs of New York

One of Martin Scorsese's weaker movies, a 6.5/10 from me, but no one can deny how awesome DDL was in that movie. He should have won the Oscar.

lol, he's a great actor with more range than any I've seen. He is one of the few actors that makes a movie better by being in it.

I'm not sure why you are attacking my opinion. Do you feel better?
