So (surprise ) I also made an Arrival poster.

My goodness. Just because you didn't understand it doesn't make it stupid or bad. It's the other way around.misho92 wrote:
Characters being weak... well... I'm not sure they were weak but they weren't fleshed out either.
The thing is this movie is not a character-study film. Not even close. It doesn't need fleshed out characters in order to deliver on it's intentions.

It's that Ian doesn't work that well on paper but damn, they really should've gotten a better actor to play him. I think someone like Gyllenhaal or Bale would've done so much more with so little.
Master V, you can add a 9/10 from me.
waaaait, what? Renner aint inferior to those two. And he's great here.Nomis wrote:It's that Ian doesn't work that well on paper but damn, they really should've gotten a better actor to play him. I think someone like Gyllenhaal or Bale would've done so much more with so little.

I don't think Renner is on their level, but he was good in Arrival. No complaints from me.ArmandFancypants wrote:waaaait, what? Renner aint inferior to those two.

Renner might not be inferior to them but he has yet to showcase that. He doesn't really have the resume so far. With the exception of a couple of roles, he's been pretty consistent in his approach towards acting and delivered incredibly similar performances. Which makes him entertaining but not exciting yet.
How are his turns in The Hurt Locker and American Hustle and The Town remotely similar? Or North Country? Even his sturdy everyman in the Avengers films is different to his fraidy-cat nervy dude in the Mission: Impossible films.
He literally has no clue when it comes to judging a nuanced performance. If you're not completely obvious about it, you're being similar to him.ArmandFancypants wrote:How are his turns in The Hurt Locker and American Hustle and The Town remotely similar? Or North Country?
