I have seen the greatest ever acting performance I have seen in a film in my life.

[*Gullsworth*]

That would kind of make it spot on, wouldn't it.

You would think so if it was a combination of the three but jumping from one to another?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

E.T looked like an Alien, did he win an Oscar?

Fair point.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Apparently Robert Pattinson had to give up playing Edward Cullen because he was getting a bit too long in the tooth.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It was a 'great acting performance' because he LOOKED like him? What a bizarre thing to say.

That is not what I said though is it ? It was a response to a post made. Anyway I can see where this thread is going now but would be genuinely interested in people's opinions who have actually seen the film. Thanks.

Ahhh, Russell Crowe's Robin Hood now springs to mind?

TBH I think I'll be giving it a swerve.

I'm getting the impression it's whole isn't as good as the sum of it's parts.

I will butt out now US because i have yet to see the whole film, but the trailer put me off big time. I just thought of " Warhorse" (Film not play) and was astounded how poor the acting was.

Maybe watch it and then decide. Just an idea.

Not sure I'm informed enough to say the greatest ever, but I basically agree.

Don't worry, the qualifications required to contribute to this thread are pretty basic.

You can't watch all film and this one isn't floating my boat.

My last 3 trips to World of Cine have been for Skyfall, Argo & Zero Dark Thirty.

All opening weekend, all before I caught any critical review, and all excellent films.

What I have heard about Lincoln isn't making me want to see it.
I'm sure it's a very good, worthy, thoughtful film, it's just not for me.

Like others have said maybe some independent 'normal' critic might change my mind.

Thats fine but you have passed judgement on a film and a performance you have not actually seen.

That's just my response and reasoning as to why I'm not going to spend £££'s seeing the film.

Looking like Thatcher was enough for Meryl Streep to win an Oscar for that heap of shite "The Iron Lady"

Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln. The greatest ever acting performance I ever have seen in my life. A lesson in the art and craft of acting. Daniel Day Lewis WAS Lincoln. An extraordinary performance I was privileged to see.

Yeh, but what about ashton kutcher in "Dude, wheres my car?" ? Surely DDL cant top that. Acting at its finest.

Don't know about that but he was good in the butterly effect.

She won an Oscar for that? It was f***ing rubbish

I thought I'd seen the best performance ever in 'There will be Blood'.......quite good is our Mr Day-Lewis.

You've obviously never seen a Danny Dyer film!

Pwoppa Nawty!

 

[GreersElbow]

You've obviously not seen Trolls.



I don't believe you can topple this brilliant, and heart-wrenching performance. Really gripping, his emotion just runs naturally.
