Megan Fox Ready to Die Over and Over Again

[DACrowe]

Shia is an actor who wants to be a movie star. That is my perception of him. He is a smartass and has a lot of charisma and uses it mostly to play one of the two same characters over and over again. The dorky smartass hero like in the awful Disturbia (you remake Hitchcock it is AUTOMATICALLY and DEFINITVELY terrible) and Transformoers. Or he'll play the dorky smartass sidekick as seen in Constantine and I, Robot.

But he is VERY GOOD at it. A very charming personality audiences love. I think Speilberg honestly is being a little bit lazy with the kid though. Considering he had him play the same role twice in a row in one season for his two blockbusters at dreamworks and is having him do the sidekick shtick again in Indy IV.

But LaBeouf I think is a good actor. I think he was very good in Bobby and even better in The Greatest Game Ever Played. I also think if you revisit him early on when he was creating his leading vehicle persona in The Battle of Shaker Heights, it was more human then.

The question is will he continue doing leading roles in which there is no risk and you play the same part again and again (good actors have done this see Will Smith or Tom Cruise for example) or will he branch out.

Time will tell.

I don't see Fox as that kind of talent. Again she is of the Denise Richards/Eliza Dushku/Jennifer Love Hewitt path. At least at this point.

No she is just a mediocre actress. It is a simple point. Maybe she'll get better and prove us all wrong, but in Transformers her performance was flat, silly, boring and unconvincing.

But hey Jessica Alba was called a good actress after Sin City and did she prove her detractors wrong in the Fantastic Four movoies and Into the Blue...oh wait.

Dog, my post was right above yours.
You proved exactly what I said.

Good.

Okay you may close this thread then.

No, this thread has now become the Megan Fox Acting thread, where people seriously judge her as a mediocre actress based on one (not even THAT big) role in Transformers. I'm not saying she will be the best actress of the next generation, but people dissing her and calling her mediocre based on ONE movie is ridiculous. People can seriously find the smallest things to get mad about.

DA, suggest you see 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints'. It is a really different character than the one we're used to seeing him play. He plays a teenage guy whose grown up in the city and then realizes that everything around him is constantly going wrong and decides that he has to get out- he has to run away from this life. It's a really strong performance and far from what anyone is used to seeing him play. I was even surprised seeing him in that kind of role. And yeah, 'Battle of Shaker Heights' is another great film of his, really down to Earth in that film... but, that was more or less because of the independent style of it. A character drama, and perhaps the closest character to who he is... especially the relationship with the father.

Safe to say- I think- that he's going to be the type of actor that does both mainstream and indie flicks. Mainstream for the audience to know he's there and indie flicks to build upon his growing talent and for more character driven dramas.

Can I ask- are you gay? I don't mean that as a diss, but far as I can see Fox is mad hot, and I have taste.

I said **** and ass is all she has going for her.

maybe she needed the movie to pay all the bills from BAG

BAAAAAAAAG!!!!

 

[venomscurse2]

lol, yeah I think everyone hates him,LMAO

 

[Da'WebshooterX]

You know what? I kinda like BAG. He gives me hope; if a dumb*** like him can get a girl, then surely I can get one like her too.

 

[Kelly]

So i see no one likes this then.

Maybe it was the title of the thread???????

Agreed, Shia rocks! I have just watched The Greatest Game Ever Played and though the movie was bad, I loved Shia's part

From the looks of it, I think he's playing a mix between his character in 'Disturbia' and possibly his character in 'A Guide to Recognizing your Saints'.

In other words, I think he'll play the "every guy" still but have a rebelious streak to him.

I mean, the shots we see are him wearing a black bomber jacket and riding a motorcycle. So, I think it's safe to say his character will be all around more serious, still relatable, and somewhat of a rebel in Indiana Jones 4.

And those aren't the only scripts being sent his way, but if you really want to find a great film of his that isn't "mainstream" you're going to have to look towards the indie realm which includes "Bobby" and "A guide to recognizing your saints." There is also a film that he is going after that will be mainstream, based off a comic property, in which he plays a darker character than the general audience know him for... I seriously hopes he gets that part, because then everyone can see that he's not just the "every teen", but a great upcoming serious relatable actor as well.

I think you hit the nail on the head on how I feel about Shia. I think he has great potential. I actually like Disturbia very much. It was a really good film. A Hitchcock remake that actually worked IMO.

I agree. Basically she has only been in 2 movies that I have seen and I dont think that is enough to go on to see how good an actress she is.

Yeah, he can also get a girl who is 10+ years younger than her, too.

*finishes bottle of haterade*

Exactly.
When she has a role that is a lead role and away from an ensemble, then we can judge her. She is actually in 3 movies, I believe. All that either weren't leading roles or apart of an ensemble.

I liked The Greatest Game Ever Played. It may have been a Disney sports movie, but it had some heart and soul with good acting. Maybe I'm just desperate for a good golf movie besides Caddyshack (bad movie, but in a gooooood way?

Different tastes I guess. I like Shia though. And I respect Steven Speilberg A LOT and understand why he uses this kid to headline his studio's tentpoles this summer. Hopefully he'll be using him a little differently directly though with Indy IV. But I trust Steven as a filmmaker (aka one of the absolute greatest directors of his generation) enough to do something interesting with the "hero's son/legacy" angle that is now somewhat common.

 

[Tempest19]

I think Shia is to Spielberg as Kurt Russel was to Disney. Walt taught Kurt Russel the biz and now look- he's called "Hollywood's secret weapon" or something along those lines. Always a phenomenal performance. Just like Spielberg seems to be teaching Shia the ropes of the biz from one project to the next.

I'm thinking he'll have a more 'Guide to Recognizing your Saints' persona in Indy 4.

Must have missed that bit.

[Fanticon]

as hot as she is...i'll say it again...she had some of the worst lines in Transformers...not only bad, but delivered bad...she needs a few more supporting roles to get the hang of this thing called...acting. Sounds harsh...but its true.
