[JA]

"Hayden is somebody I've admired for a while."

"I watched George’s movies, and the work Hayden did with George, and I was very impressed with Hayden’s sort of edgy, dangerous, dark and still soulful performance. I thought it was superb. And so I really connected with him."

“I was very impressed with Hayden’s sort of edgy, dangerous, dark and still soulful performance,” he said. “I thought it was superb, so I really connected with him. Plus he has a look in his eyes that I respond to… he’s got the sad thing going on that I’ve always been accused of having in my eyes.”

I didn't know this. Nic really connected to it.

I literally only came here to post the "from my point of view, it is the Jedi who are evil" line.

Bad Lieutenant in '09 was pretty damn good, although that Herzog and Ferrara story is weird as hell. It's essentially a blatant rip-off of the '92 film with Harvey Keitel.

Hayden was fine. The script was garbage.

Hayden was fine. The script was garbage.

His delivery of the script was also garbage and made it worse

 

[HanSolo]

This honestly doesn't surprise me even a little.

If you asked me to bet on whether Nic Cage hated or loved Hayden in Star Wars I would've won the bet.

This.

I mean I'll give credit where it's due, he was good at emoting through his facial expressions but his line delivery was horrid. I don't claim to have any acting talent but I legitimately believe that I could deliver some of his lines better than he could and that most people could. There were times where he'd speak and wouldn't sound like a normal human being.

 

[Blender]

The dialogue that he had to try and recite was pretty awful, but he still delivered it with the charisma of a brick wall, and when he did try and portray emotions it came off as comical.

Others I like include Matchstick Men, The Rock, Con Air, Lord of War, and the Croods. So ya other than the animated Croods, the last movie of his that I remotely liked was Lord of War in 2005.

Lord of War was legit.

Hayden was a lot better in ROTS than AOTC for sure. His acting improved. Wouldn't say it was great though.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I still want Nic Cage Superman..

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Not even Sean Connery or Morgan Freeman can talk about how rough, coarse and irritating sand is and make it sound believable

 

[LarKing]

One terrible actor approving of another. Takes one to know one?

It improved from **** to bad with okay moments.
