Am I the Only One Who Doesn't Really Like Samuel L. Jackson?

[AlteredEgo]

I mean, yeah, pulp fiction was good and he's got a few other gems but speaking in mass generalities, most of his movies just aren't that good but he always gets a lot of hype on them just cause he's Samuel L "Mother-****in" Jackson.

discuss.

 

[Darth Elektra]

I like him.

 

[Canadian Rider]

Any black man who can wear a kilt and still look like one mean motherf***er is cool in my books.

 

[Majik1387]

I think he's overrated and never delivers to his hype, but I don't hate him.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

It's tough if you don't like him because he's been in 47.6% of all Hollywood movies made in the last ten years.

 

[The Chairman]

Samuel L. Jackson is awesome.

 

[ShaneHelms]

Yeah, he rules.

 

[DACrowe]

Good actor, ****ty movies and has been playing his "image" for years now, but still a pretty good actor who is so cool no one cares.

 

[Warhammer]

Samuel L. Jackson is a beast.

Yeah right.

LOL. t: I like Sam Jackson, but I do think that he makes way too many movies.

Am I the Only One Who Doesn't Really Like Samuel L. Jackson?

Yes. Yes, you are.

 

[cryptic name]

I'm pretty sure you are the only one.

 

[Iceman]

He's been in a surprising number of films that would be complete **** (without him). His profile is also a lot higher than his actual achievements.

Having said that I love him t:

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

He's the kind of actor that has more **** movies than good. But you still dig his presence and charm, and his ability to go from funny as hell to mean as a mother **** snake in a nano second. BTW, he was in Snakes on a Plane and is now in Black Snake Moan. WTF is with SLJ and snakes??

 

[Warhammer]

Samuel L. Jackson is in just about every movie.
You just don't see him, or he doesn't have a huge role.

In Superman Returns, he was "Guy Walking Down Street #2".

 

[Mr. Credible]

I think he's overrated and never delivers to his hype, but I don't hate him.

that's about what i would have said. he's not really bad (except for in the star wars prequels, yeesh!) but he's not anything special, either. why snakes on a plane got so hyped just because of him, i have no idea.

I thought he was Mother ****er #2 Walking Down Street

Don't you get it?
Samuel L. Jackson is so cool that a complete POS movie and terrible, laughable idea was hyped up just because he starred in it. I went to go see it just because of him, and it was fun.

 

[Warhammer]

That was Batman Begins.
...and he actually was "Crazy Motherf***er #2 Walking Down Street". t:

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Yes, he's been in a lot of crappy movies, but always elevates crappy movies past utter $#!t with his presence. Case in point, Deep Blue Sea, his death in the movie makes the movie. Getting eaten by a shark just after giving the rousing inspriation speech, awesome!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I'm not into him either. The only role I ever liked him in was Unbreakable and that was pretty much it.

 

[Movies205]

He's an entertaining personality, however, it's the same performance over and over again

But...that's good thing isn't it? :meow:

Its the same thing with people like John Wayne and Arnold Schwarzneggar to a certain extent. But that's kind of the endearning thing, it's a nice familiarity. People saw movies with The Duke because they knew what they were getting...and they usually got it!
