[Film] Russell Crowe

[Icy Gull]

Has this guy ever made a bad movie?

I’m sure NSC can help me out on this. Probably my favourite living actor.

Noah I was a bit Meh about but I can’t think of another that was under par but so many good films.

Gladiator, 3.10 to Yuma, Master and Commander, A Good Year and LA Confidential being my favourites

Les Miserables

Robin Hood wasn't up to much

The rom com Breaking Up wasn't great.

"Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek make attractive leads, but they have neither the marquee power nor the requisite chemistry to keep Breaking Up from getting left at the altar of general distribution." - Ken Eisner, Variety

Fair enough, I never watch Rom Coms so can’t comment!

Well I enjoyed it

Not a movie but he did do a stint on Neighbours.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Not a movie but he did do a stint on Neighbours.

Does 4 episodes count as a stint?

Well I enjoyed it

Good. I fell asleep. Do you have to turn the subtitles on when watching Russell Crowe? I struggle to hear what he says. It's not just him, Christian Bale is worse.
There is another film where he is a journalist looking into a political scandal involving a murder. That wasn't great either.

I do like A Beautiful Mind and A Good Year though.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Played a comedy Zeus in Thor - Love & Thunder.

The Nice Guys
The Water Diviner
Noah
A New York Winter's Tale
Les Miserables
The Man With the Iron Fists
Republic Of Doyle
The Next Three days
Robin Hood
Mystery, Alaska
Breaking Up
Heaven's Burning
Rough Magic
Virtuosity
No Way Back

plus lots of earlier films.

Probably would have been better to reverse the thread and ask for good films Russell Crowe has been in.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Well I enjoyed it

Plus there was a mini parody in Republic of Doyle, which made me smile

A good year is in my top 5 films

Yes, not for me either.

I liked Gladiator and Master and Commander though.

A good year is such a great, feel good film. Might have to watch it again this afternoon

 

[Bold Seagull]

Noah was dreadful.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Fair enough, I never watch Rom Coms so can’t comment!

My wife would sit and watch romcoms all day if she could, but only if they have the likes of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in them.

The former has made a whole career out of starring in them.

Has this guy ever made a bad movie?

I'm ok with his films.

Probably my favourite living actor.

Blimey

 

[Braggfan]

Cinderella Man is a great film, and I often think it goes under the radar. Well worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

 

[The Clamp]

He has made a tonne of bad movies. Just have a look at all the cameo part villains he’s played in some awful films. I rate him but yes, he has done some shockers!
