    does it really matter who the actor is as long as its a good movie? heck i'd even go watch a shyamalan movie starring freddie prinze jr if it looked really good and/or got really good reviews.

    • Short of it: yes, unless the film is ridiculously good.Jaline
    • Because then you start to remember about the things you don't like.Jaline
    • a good movie is a good movie. if an actor's personal antics matter to you while watching a movie then maybe you are not watching the movie?emukid
    • watching the movie?emukid
    • This is my opinion. ie, I love Batman Begins but dislike K. Holmes. I dislike Spiderman partly b/c of the actors.Jaline
    • Of course a movie can be great, but actors can make or break a film.Jaline
    • Look at it like a pet peeve. I mean, how many ppl didn't like the idea of Shia in Indiana Jones?Jaline
    • Doesn't mean I won't like the film. But I may dislike it (just a bit) b/c an actor can't act or just looks stupid in general.Jaline
    • Anyway, I'm going on about this too much. I feel the same way about directors, but not writers, for some reason.Jaline
    • One last thing, I do take into consideration the writing (script), and everything else before judging, of course.Jaline
    • shia might be a douche but he might be good in that particular role in indiana jones. because he is a douche doesnt mean he will never be able to perform well in any movie at all. i'll save my judgement for until i have seen the movie.emukid
    • doesnt mean he will never be able to perform well in any movie at all. i'll save my judgement for until i have seen the movie.emukid
    • seen the movie.emukid
    • weird how i repeat the last word of a note when continuing myemukid
    • my sentence.emukid
    • I agree with you! I just don't have the motivation to watch a film with an actor I like in theatres unless someone tellsJaline
    • me that it's good. It doesn't mean that I'm not going to watch the film at home. I just wouldn't pay money.Jaline
    • It's not about whether Pitt is good in the specific role. It's about my preconceived notions about him and motivationJaline
    • to pay to watch the film is not there.Jaline
    • note 16:
      *actor I DON'T LIKE, not one I do like.

    • get a room.Jnr_Madison
    • The film can still be great, but if he annoyed me I will say it. Just like how I thought Paltrow was good in Iron ManJaline
    • and usually I don't like her.Jaline
    • it's a david fincher movie and that's all one needs to know. it might be in chinese and have midgets in starring roles but its a fincher movie! FINCHER!emukid
    • fincher movie. FINCHER!emukid
    • OK, so to sum up, I never judged the film yet, and of course I wouldn't do that without watching it first.Jaline
    • yeah, see, emu, that's your opinion. I happen to agree with you, but I'm still not paying.Jaline
    • Just to let you know, I don't watch many films in theatres. So I'm not being that offensive.Jaline
    • FINCHER!emukid
    • i am not offended. i am just fucking with you. i am a troll, you see.emukid
    • FINCHER!emukid
    • I do like him.Jaline
