Jeff Bridges : so underrated.

so underrated.

This guy can act with the all time greats.

Re: so underrated.

People bang on about De niro, Pacino, Brando, Nicholson being great actors and they are but Bridges is up their with them if not on par. He style is more subtle which is great as overacting is rife in movies and is what De Niro and the rest I listed are prone to.

Re: so underrated.

Brando is overrated. De Niro, Pacino and Nicholson were decent actors early in their careers, but for the last quarter century, they haven't had five good performances between them. All they do is chew up the scenery. The average American movie viewer thinks that the louder an actor screams onscreen, the better an actor he or she is. While Jeff Bridges has made a dog here and there, for the most part, he's been a very solid performer throughout his career. He's also been married to the same woman for going on 38 years, which is another plus in my book. I envy the life he's had.

Another imbecile expresses his meaningless opinion.

Re: so underrated.

All his movies suck. The only decent character he played was the dude. He's in so many crappy movies with generic roles like in RIPD and Seventh Son. Overrated just because he was in The Big Lebowski. Pick better roles....

Re: so underrated.

"All his movies suck." And we believe you that you've seen all 60 or so of them.

Some of his highly rated movies on imdb (among others) are
True Grit 7.7
The Fisher King 7.6
Fearless 7.2
The Contender 7.0

Re: so underrated.

Underrated? Who wants to seem him anymore? His old cowboy kind of image is past is expiration date.
I don't understand why he gets any roles these days.

Re: so underrated.

It's sad how people a b68 re towards older people.


When you are not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.

Re: so underrated.

Just kids who think they have some secret that will keep them from ever aging themselves.

They're in for a surprise.....

The bad news is you have houseguests. There is no good news.

Re: so underrated.

I would agree with you if you had said "so overrated"

Re: so underrated.

After watching The Fisher King I immediately thought he must had been at least nominated for the oscars as best actor. However, I was surprised to find out that Williams won and Mercedes I don't kno w what, as supporting. While Williams was great, I found Jeff to be terrific.

Re: so underrated.

Yes, he can. The ONLY really great performance I've ever seen by an actor playing a U.S. president was Bridges in The Contender.

Re: so underrated.

I don't think he is underrated. While I agree guys like DeNiro and Pacino get a lot of glory, I don't think anyone who's paying attention hasn't realized how many great roles Jeff has been in.
btw, I've always thought Kurt Russell has been the guy who's been short-changed in the wake of Jeff B's career. It's kind of like -- Patrick Swayze? Jeff Bridges? Kurt Russell? They are all very good.

I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me.

Re: so underrated.

I don't think he's underrated. He's been in so many good movies, it's almost ridiculous.
Anyone who's paying attention knows Jeff Bridges. Whether he's "as good" or "better" than Pacino or Brando. or even Paul Newman, is silly. He's had a fabulous career. More so than Kurt Russell, who I think of as a peer. And I have nothing against KR, but JB has had many weightier roles.

I'm not a woman 2000 much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me.
