Amy Adams : Don't get it??

Don't get it??

I don't get why she keeps getting all these movies she's not really a terrific actress usually don't even notice her performance lol. I love red heads but I don't get why people love her so much she's like a knockoff ScarJo. Feel free to correct me.

Re: Don't get it??

Adams is one of the best american actresses, period.

Re: Don't get it??

Hahahhahaha. Amy, is that you?

Re: Don't get it??

He vast American movie going public have no taste. She probably has a lot of connections and that is how they keep putting her in films. She's an absolute bore who is getting old and it shows on her face.

She's an absolute bore
Looks like the pot calling the kettle black.

Re: Don't get it??

I'm not a fan. I'm sure she's a sweet person but her being cast as Lois Lane completely shut me off to the franchise. She was wrong for that role.

Thank God! I thought I was the only one who doesn't think she's a good actress. She ruined Superman vs. Batman for me, and I can barely make it through any movie she's in. I've tried, believe me I've tried, I just can't do it.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog

Re: Don't get it??

She's one of the best actresses working in Hollywood right now. She can pull off innocent-full of life (Enchanted), warrior-determined (The Fighter), seductive-nice (American Hustle), driven-melancholic (Arrival) like it's no effort at all. She has nothing to do in those DC movies because there's nothing for her in those scripts. They are hollow and have no real character for Lois Lane at all. Scarlett Johansson (whom I love) is NOT a good actress, she's insanely charismatic and sexy, but she's always the same person in every movie she's in. Amy Adams is sweet, beautiful and can deliver a lot of attitude if that's what the story needs.

Very well said

"She's one of the best actresses working in Hollywood right now."

Mach,

Your very good post led me to a thought. A theory about why she has not yet won and was not even nominated this year (which is just awful).

I think most people in Hollywood do recognize she is one of the best actresses working right now. And she has gotten five nominations.

But she is perhaps so good at what she does, that on some level the way she seems to effortlessly fit into such a variety of roles while still being Amy Adams perhaps on some level makes too many voters think it wasn't that hard for her to do this or that role.

After all she is not a scenery chewer, over-emoting and over the top. Maybe some want to give the Oscar to someone who looks like they are really working hard.

Take the recent example of Brie Larson, winning last year. On one hand I can see why she won, but it also was a performance where Ms. Larson was really working to get her role over.

Compare that to say Ms. Adams in The Fighter. She was so convincing in that role, if you didn't see her in her other roles you would think she was playing herself. Effortless going into the role, which of course made her performance totally convincing, as good as it gets. But... some may say for this or that role it was too easy for her or something like that.

Of course I think just the opposite. You should lose yourself in watching a film from thinking too much about HOW the actor is performing, and instead want in the process of suspending disbelief to believe in the actor as the character they are playing.

In other words this was an awful snub. As for myself I think Ms. Adans IS the best actress working in Hollywood today, and Arrival was the most recent example of that.

Re: Don't get it??

I totally agree with what you said, Vanity fair described her in the hollywood issue as "the most un-show-y actress" i think its very true and for me its one of the reasons i love her work.

Re: Don't get it??

argh,

Yes it is a big part of why I feel she is the best actress, but it very well might have something to do with the snub and no Oscars to date.

Re: Don't get it??

I agree with the OP.

I've seen four of her films and all the films have been bad. Ruined I think by her presense.
