Before these three began acting, many casting directors had to hire people you never heard of for roles

Meh Holland is great at his main role and has had a few other singular roles, one as a genuine blockbuster.

RPatz is one of the best actors out there right now and put his time in to get to where he is. Man continues to earn it.

Zendaya seems great in everything I have seen her in and I honestly dont want to live in a world where I dont emjoy seeing her. I think she is good at the roles she gets too, the drama was great.

Acting like we didnt get generations of DeNiro, Pacino, Bruce Willis, Stallone, Arnie.

Idk I just cannot take any movies with Tom Holland and Zendaya seriously they just never look like they fit in somehow. Pattinson seems fine though idk why

I like her acting but somehow I never feel like she is her character but, well, Zendaya. Most recent example was the Odyssey. For the whole movie I was not able to accept her as a representation of Athena (at least that is what I gather her character is), I only saw Zendaya talking with Odysseus.

I had the same issue with Pattinson right after the Twilight saga ended but he someone turned it around.

Because he's a good actor.

Akasazh@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 25d

I haven't heard about these either

Zendaya, Tom Holland, and..... Tie guy?

I only know the first two because the MCU is everywhere and it seems like Zendaya went from being in nothing to suddenly being in everything for about 2 minutes of screen time where she mostly just gives the main character looks and disappears for awhile.

The last one, based on the oddysey being all over the front page, I do vaguely recognize? Maybe?

The third guy is Robert Pattinson, I think he's the only of the three with range, I really dug Cronenberg's Cosmopolis. He's also in The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe but I haven't watched that one

Oh and in Mickey17 where he played two very different clones/copies, great chops honestly

Watch The Lighthouse. I found it very symbolic. Someone might say allegorical even. The journey of life and so forth

Cinematography is great. Every scene looks like a b&w picture.

Alright !

Ah. I haven't seen him in anything since my sister dragged me to see twilight. Not that I don't think he has acting capability, but nobody's performance in that movie wowed me.

Hadriscus@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 25d (3 replies)

I saw the first one with girl friends, as a young adult. I was dragged there too... Apparently the sequels are worse

They are, if you go in expecting worse you can enjoy the disaster that they are, the cringe is.....next level

Also Robert Pattenson is a phenomenal actor.

What are the last two ? Mickey17 ? he was outstanding in it

P1k1e@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 24d

Expendable employee is Mickey17 And the biggest asshole in Ithica is Antinous, the suiter from the oddesey

That's the big surprise for everyone like me who saw Twilight and thought that guy was an empty head. Turns out he's a great actor with real ability and range!

He's great in Tenet, although the movie itself is kind of a mess. He's great as the new Batman. When I see his name on a poster now, it actually makes me want to see the movie.

I never would have guessed that the glittery vampire creep would turn into one of my favourite actors to watch.

Edit: The Lighthouse! Amazing film. Can't believe I forgot it.

Pattinson is actually a pretty good actor imo. I've liked him in every role I've seen him in. would recommend checking out the movies he's been in

Zendaya is Zendaya. Tom Holland is Tom Holland.

Pattison could convincingly play a tie.

It's easy to remember him in his Twilight sparkle-vampire role, but he actually has shown great range in his other roles - I loved his performances in the Odyssey and the Lighthouse.

I literally have zero clue who two of them are

Surprised Chalemet didn't make this meme over Pattinson
