I did not know he was Denzel's son when I first seen one of his films. I kept thinking this guy doesn't have a range of convincing emotions and that he was over acting a lot of the times.
I do think he is a little overrated. I do appreciate him taking on more independent movies that aren’t franchises like Michael B Jordan does. So the question is could Michael B Jordan be doing the roles like tenant and the creator and blacks BlacKkKlansman? I don’t think he could.
I get everyone being more focused on Washington because he was the lead role but I thought the movie tenet just had a monotone ambiance ... To me it seemed everyone was void of heightened emotions to capture a certain essence...
@@nzeusman8215 Did I say it was okay? I said it happens and it will continue to happen. No one is going to stop it, no one can. It is what it is, and for the record not everyone thinks John David Washington sucks, obviously.
But could John David Washington do the Michael B Jordan roles? Like I am legend which is coming out. Or the Creed movies. I think he could. So I think that tells you something.
Michael b jordan and Daniel Kaluuya can just stand completely still staring at the camera and have more screen presence than any scene JDW has tried to act through
I see why most child actors of famous parents try to keep it a secret. No one looks at them for who they are. JD's career is growing nicely. You can tell he's dedicated and developing.
I am a big fan of both John David and Michael B. Both are charismatic and I think have solid screen presence. Michael B’s performance in Fruitvale Station was compelling and believable. John David in BlaKkKlansman was the same for me. I will take a guess and say black actors (both male and female) are not given the same opportunities their white counterparts get. So I will not criticize the movies they choose to be in. But based on their performances, I’ll spend my money to see either of them on the big screen. I’m also a fan of Stephan James.
I just tried to watch the movie Amsterdam last night because it starred Christian Bale who, imo, is a very good to great actor but then i had to turn it off because John D was absolutely terrible... wooden,stiff,bland,boring.. ESPECIALLY when you get a scene with Christian B and then see all his effort gone to waste when that wooden plank tries to act ( I wonder how Christian felt in those scenes.. ) and i only lasted 20 minutes AND i was drinking, Lord have mercy! I mean the contrast between them is just amazing.. it's like seeing a professional working with a high school acting student... acting alongside Bale makes him look even worse, if that is possible... I don't hate the guy or anything but this is just silly. And just to mock with us John D's name in the movie: Harold Woodman, WOODMAN! as if they are messing with us AND/OR him. If only they named him Johnny Woodman! (Btw there's a list on IMDb of 1500+ actors and whatnot showing allot of the nepotistic relation in Hollywood, much like any field these days, it is 1 big nepotistic mess, yes it was also going on in the 1930+ and so on but now it reaches epic levels.. apparently it's even worse in Europe) There's no excuse for John D since Bale is also a product of nepotism but at least he tries hard and succeeds!! You rly have a minuscule chance becoming famous these days on ANY field. We are all watching the kids of the very privileged, Thx for the video.
Anyone who's ever helped a relative get a job is guilty as charged. Parents should do all they can to help their kids. That's one perk of being a decent parent. Hopefully he'll try something different to avoid being type cast....maybe too late. I hope he doesn't try roles dealing with struggle, black love or that age old gangsta b.s. they love so much.
it isn't a question of helping kids. Would John David gotten "Black Klansmen" directed by Spike who worked with his dad in Malcolm X if he wasn't related? this is the problem with affirmative action and nepo syndrome. these people are always left wondering if they deserve what they get
The age of original actors is over. We are now and will continue to remain in the times in which professional acting careers will be passed onto the children that won't have to work for leading roles and have to go through the struggle...although the majority of them will say they struggled to make it as an actor which is really just a laugh all around.
What a weak reason, everybody does it so its ok now? Seeing talented hacks destroy art and culture entire franchises while theres millions probably who could better, thats FINE for you!?
@@Getawayk MBJ is an okay actor, but a phenomenal director. Creed 3 was is directorial debut and the movie has one of the best anime inspired fight scene in live action. I think his skills lies in directing, I hope he follows that path. He reminds me of young Ben Affleck
What’s your take on John David Washington? I’d like to hear from you.
I can only watch a movie with him in it for 10 mins until I get a headache and angry and distracted.
I did not know he was Denzel's son when I first seen one of his films. I kept thinking this guy doesn't have a range of convincing emotions and that he was over acting a lot of the times.
I think he's such a bad actor. He is extremely limited but the roles he's been getting are huge.
he is "bad-arse black dude" in all movies
His acting really improved in The Creator.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out and I’ll let you know if I agree.
he has the charisma of a vacuum in the movie, like all the movies he's in
Could not watch it pass 10 minutes
I do think he is a little overrated. I do appreciate him taking on more independent movies that aren’t franchises like Michael B Jordan does. So the question is could Michael B Jordan be doing the roles like tenant and the creator and blacks BlacKkKlansman? I don’t think he could.
I think Michael could pull off tenet and definitely the creator, but not blackkklansman
He is a charisma void. The apple fell very far from the tree.
I get everyone being more focused on Washington because he was the lead role but I thought the movie tenet just had a monotone ambiance ... To me it seemed everyone was void of heightened emotions to capture a certain essence...
This is nothing new. Yt people have been doing the nepo thing since movies were invented. Give me a break.
So what? its ok then?

@@MarkEric121 No you didn't that's why i asked?
no one can stop it? why not? not in any way? Are you among those people that believe John can act?
Can't stand it when it works for someone else😭
Davis ruined the tent, and the Creator he not a horrible actor, but he's not a big star either. Stop giving him these big roles.
"Amsterdam" (rolls eyes).
Yahya abdul mateen is a pretty good black actor that’s pushed real hard
His acting doesn't connect imo I have fell asleep on his last 2 movies but that's just me
too short to be a leading man
That's not the issue. Deniro, Pacino, Hoffman, Cruise, all short, but great leading men.
@@anothervictory2595 Different Era
Horrible Actor as Zero on screen Charisma
agree. he would not be getting plum roles if not Denzel's kid. But we can't say that
This wouldn't really be a problem if he was good. There are some talented nepo babies out there, but he happens to be one of the nepos that suck.
Well, Salma parlayed herself right into a billionaire husband! 😂😂
But could John David Washington do the Michael B Jordan roles? Like I am legend which is coming out. Or the Creed movies. I think he could. So I think that tells you something.
Maybe I’ll do that as a future after versus actor
It tells us YOU think he could
Except for the fact that he can't act.
Michael b jordan and Daniel Kaluuya can just stand completely still staring at the camera and have more screen presence than any scene JDW has tried to act through
Sure Timberlake
You’re wrong about Chalamet. You need to see “My Beautiful Boy” and “The King”.
He got time to be a promise actor but yes he definitely got a push to the fronts line
Sure at the local Jr High local school [plays
It’s pronounced as “nehpo” not “neepo”.
I'm going to go with biology and nepotism for $500 Alex.
sorry to disagree. He ruine the films for me. Denzel is my favorite actor. But it's real hard for me to finish one of John's movies.
I see why most child actors of famous parents try to keep it a secret. No one looks at them for who they are. JD's career is growing nicely. You can tell he's dedicated and developing.
He sucks. He ruins everything he's in.

They have the charisma of a frozen dog turd.

Thx for the video.
Agreed with this 100% whole heartedly! JDW is not a great actor, very mediocre and no way he should be leading franchise films
Great men have great taste. Lol.
i think he is a little more talented than Michael B
lol

all those who can benefit from nepotism, will. the rest will complain lol
I thought jd wash was good in black klansman
Michael b jordan is a rwally good actor. Since the wire he has put in the work.
So what? Everyone else does it in all industries
nepo? let's not generalize
That's true. But if you're going to be a nepo baby at least be good. That's the least you could do.
Exactly!
What a weak reason, everybody does it so its ok now? Seeing talented hacks destroy art and culture entire franchises while theres millions probably who could better, thats FINE for you!?
@nzeusman8215 yep, I see it in corporate America everyday. Sometimes bloodlines bring privilege, only a problem when blacks do it
I disagree 100%, JD has been excellent in everything he's done.
How so?
He was constantly shown up on The Creator. No matter the situation, his voice was the same.
You are a hater for real
I’m not a hater at all. I just don’t think he has talent. Doesn’t mean I hate him.
Worry about your own people not our .
a HATER, such a smart response, turn it into racism, zzz try harder please. And they AIN'T your people.
Haters gonna hate
explain to me why you think he is talented.
When all else fails, lob accusations of haterism.
People with taste
Michael B. Jordan seems to be riding the coattails from successful franchises, done by actors before him.
Right, he is smart. lol. why branch out and put yourself out there
You must have been asleep for fruitville station
