Nicolas Cage = Dreadful

Worst Cage film

gone in 60 seconds really irritates me for some reason...some combination of him being him and the 15-year-old boy style plot which could be abridged as 'look at these dead sehxay cars for 90 minutes'
 
Con Air is brilliant; one of the most enjoyable and amusing silly action movies ever! Face/Off is a bit cringe at times, but it's still a pretty damn good watch, I don't get the hate-ery of it... Cage isn't so awful he can single handedly ruin it! I have a bit of a thing for The Rock too actually, come to think of it! :D

Tbh I don't hate Nicolas Cage as an actor, he can be pretty shit, but I still find is gormless wooden look hilariously appropriate at times! Captain Corelli's Mandolin/Wicker Man though.... urggg serious SIGH! :oops:
 
*Bump* to say I caught an unfortunate glimpse of 'City of Angels' last night (the bit where he is eating a pear and looking mournful) and I am forced to say that unless he was Coppola's nephew he would not have stood a chance in the acting game. Side on he looked like a balding, jowly, sickly, couch surfing, irritating man. Then he opened his mouth.
 
wild at heart - fucking dreadful pretentious teenage wank

(i loved it when i was 16 then watched it a couple of years ago and couldnt stop cringing)
 
I can't believe no-one has said Matchstick Men. Total waste of celluloid if ever I saw one.
 
I was going to say National Treasure, but then I made the inexcusably poor decision to watch National Treasure 2. Which is the worst film I've ever seen.
 
I would vote Wickerman, but its not in the poll. Like others on this thread, I have not watched it and never ever will.

I don't care; I'm voting for this. I've never watched it, never want to never will have anything to do with it but it is obviously the most shite of them.



I liked the Rock and Con Air and Face Off; they're brainless action, it's fun.
 
In New Orleans is one of the most famous cemeteries in america. It’s small and crowded and full of the tombs of the city’s past citizens.

Nicholas Cage, Who is not from New Orleans, and despite buying a massive house there which he later had to sell due to financial embarrassment, has never even lived in the city, has bought up (and cleared away old tombs) enough land in the cemetery to build his own *tasteful* mausoleum.

Behold:

He's shite, Nicolas Cage always seams to play, well, Nicolas Cage
This. He has certain mannerisms he uses in just about every film. Plenty other actors do that as well of course, but Cage’s ones are deeply annoying, in particular when he’s trying to sound annoyed.

The Rock has plenty of such instances. It’s not as if that film was award winning material but it is still an enjoyable late night thriller, or could have been if they cast someone other than Cage for that part. Awful casting imo, and the film could have been so much more successful and popular if they’d cast someone with more personality for his role.
 
He is too distinct to be shit.

True shitness is bland monotony.

He adds a little bit of an odd spice to stuff.

For every great film he makes a bit off he is in 2 bland films that he spices up. And one strange film he is also strange in.


Think of him as hot sauce or marmite. Not right for everymeal but really adds something to blander films and in the right hands can be amazing.

i tend to like him but ghost rider was really shit
 
He's overdue an Oscar.
Probably just get one of those lifetime achievement ones. They basically mean "You kept trying, here you go, now stop bothering us".
