Many find their comfort zone and from there they don't leave, sometimes they leave but not much....I mean....Denzel plays Denzel since "training day", and now he will be Denzel with a sheet, skirt and sandals in gladiator.😂
This is why Ryan Gosling is the ultimate “Ryan”. He can do Blade Runner 2049, The Nice Guys, Drive, La La Land, Lars and the Real Girl, Barbie, First Man, Place Beyond the Pines. Why? Because he’s literally me.
Ryan Reynolds, The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jason Statham all of them play the same character in every movie. Edit: After multiple requests and thorough examination, the High Council came to a decision. Jack Black has been added to the list.
Actually Statham sort of dud play a different character than the ones he usually does it was a movie called Crank it even had a sequel. If you haven't watched it I suggest you check it out.
Kevin Hart is actually getting more range little by little, he don't think he tried to act funny in lift and that true story movie he acted (sorry, can't really remember if true story is the actual name of the movie)
@@akwandegawe2600 There's also another movie he was in. Where he played as like a veteran who became homeless. He breaks into someone else's home & just kind of acts like he's a housekeeper. There's more that goes on, but it's a really good movie. It's really dramatic too, not a whole lot of action. A much more different than you'd usually see him in. I forgot the name though
Ryan Reynolds is the ultimate studio safety pick, he won't butcher the dialogue, his personal life is uncontroversial, and his name brings crowds. It's all getting stale.
He might not be "controversial" (from what most people about him.) but his wife, Blake Lively is. Google who Woody Allen Is and what he did to a child in the 90's and tell me why she worked with him on a film he directed in the 2010's...(Also Hugh Jackman worked with him too) im just saying if he's comfortable with does types of people who knows what else he's comfortable with.
"BURIED" his acting is phenomenal in that, just one guy stuck in the ground with a phone. He picks easy roles 90% of the time, but he can act if he wants too. Like Adam Sandler.
Buried, Smockin ace, Safe house, Selfless... The guy proved he is good at acting, really good. He just know what is the most profitable and deliver it on a plate, no risk taken
He's certainly good in more serious roles. But he's never gonna be known for them. Imagibe if Michael Jackoson was known for playing Hockey....lmao....
Him, the Rock, and Gal Gadot in one movie. Talk about the inability 3. Gal is simply stunning and that is it, and Reynolds and the Rock are both the same character in every movie they play.
I don't even get the hype over Gal's looks. Obviously she's not ugly, but I wouldn't call her stunning either. Different strokes for different blokes I guess
Ryan Reynolds has a solid acting range, it's just that playing deadpool and deadpool adjacent characters is easy and profitable for him. Watch him in Smokin' Aces before saying he can only play himself
@VB-fo1oc Burried the nines and smoking aces yes it does have alot of emotional depth all of them do even the voices where he plays a mass killer that talks to animals in his own psychosis, I mean if ya think it doesn't have emotional depth watch it cause some of those really fucked with me while watching
He's definitely got range, but not nearly as many ppl have seen those movies. His witty-charismatic typecast is the most successful so he keeps doin it. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You've got range as a film RUclipsr, but "When The Actor Has No Range..." Has been your most successful video format, so this is the third time you've done it. And those are the only videos of yours that the algorithm shows me. If I didn't visit your channel, I would've thought "When The RUclipsr Has No Range..."
From memory he always seen as a "Meh, I like him but don't love him." actor for his entire career but then he did Deadpool and that just rocketed him to a stardom nobody expected. I saw a review of RIPD back in 2013 which basically said, "I hope Ryan Reynolds has a talent for riding a scooter because if his career and acting don't change the best he can hope for is a Pizza delivery man."
To say something in regards to his acting. Ryan has a LOT of films before Deadpool, and to be honest very few standout. Many were bombs/small budget. My figuring, is that Reynolds has tried, and it really has never landed in regards to dramatic range. Though he was fantastic in Buried and The Voices, I think he saw what worked for him, and stuck with it. He has been crazy successful from it, hasn't let his ego run him into the ground...like The Rock for instance, and seems genuinely happy. Sometimes we just suck at one thing, and finally realize we're amazing at another part of it.
The Voices, Safehouse, Amityville Horror, Buried, Criminal, Life. He's got plenty of range, he just knows what makes money, and we keep showing up for it.
He's got previous experience with a character that heard voices before, why did they erased the Deadpool boxes? Maybe it was too dark for the tone they were going, idk.
@@jenehtarmijos7527 The boxes would be a tad hard to execute in live-action film. The fourth-wall breaks and jokes are already a good enough "gimmick" to sell the film, and the boxes are just a part of that. Also, the boxes aren't as famous as the 4WBs.
Recently watched that after randomly finding it on Prime Video looking for something to watch. The trailer immediately caught my attention and it did not disappoint, it was great movie and performance by Ryan.
Ryan is a good actor. 1. Buried (2010) Reynolds plays a civilian contractor who wakes up buried alive in a coffin with only a phone and a lighter, facing an intense struggle for survival. 2. The Nines (2007) A psychological film in which Reynolds portrays three different characters in interconnected stories, exploring themes of identity and reality. 3. Mississippi Grind (2015) A drama about two men with gambling addictions who embark on a journey through the southern United States in search of a change in fortune. 4. Life (2017) Although it has elements of science fiction, this film features a serious performance by Reynolds as an astronaut facing a deadly extraterrestrial threat. 5. The Voices (2014) While it includes touches of dark comedy, Reynolds' role as a mentally unstable man addresses dark and serious themes related to mental health. 6. Fireflies in the Garden (2008) Reynolds plays a man dealing with childhood trauma in a dysfunctional family following a family tragedy.
Correct! He's also played a tragic teacher in School of Life, a manic dude in Chaos Theory, and other neat diversions to his normal typecast archetype. But very rarely in big budget films.
I think it's not just actor problem but Hollywood problem too, they just won't try to shake up the established. let's take Liam Neeson as an example, he makes his big break in Hollywood portraying a hardened ex special force in Taken and what project he keeps receiving after that? a hardened ex special force until his name no longer sells and they abandon him entirely, I'm sure the same is happening with Ryan Reynolds too, unless he proves that he does have range (Which usually means taking a smaller project).
I think he made his big break in movies like Rob Roy, Schindlers List or maybe even Kingdom of Heaven. The Taken series has really boosted his stock in Hollywood. But he's been around for a long time & built his legacy with other movies. Even then, Taken, Non-Stop, A Walk Amongst the Tombstones, Run All Night & so on. Are pretty solid action movies, it's his bread & butter for a reason. Also Ryan has proved that he has range. Check out Voices & Buried. He doesn't act anywhere near his typical self & imo. Did a great job in both.
Before, Liam Neilson used to be one of the best actors of all cinema, due to his breakout roles in Schindler’s List, Batman Begins, even The Phantom Menace despite that film being considered one of the worst films ever made when it came out. But ever since Taken, Liam Nelson’s been typecasted in action movies, just as the Rock has been typecasted in blockbusters. It’s like Neilson jumped the shark or whatever.
@ShockwaveFPSStudios Nah, maybe Liam is just having more fun with the newer roles he chooses. As you said yourself, he made himself into a force to be reckoned with in the acting industry. Even then, the action movies he's been cast in. Have been pretty solid objectively speaking. I can almost guarantee myself that when I watch a Liam Neeson movie. Whether it be newer or older, I'll enjoy it. Sure, he may have made better movies back then. But he's still a great actor imo.
Keep in mind he's had two extremely carreer crushing moments in green lantern and the first deadpool iteration. Any one of those would be enough to blacklist any other actor. After recovering, i don't think he's willing to take another risk and dont blame him...
Are we supposed to pretend that those movies were bad enough to end careers? It's revisionist history to call them the worst ever, to make what comes after it better by comparison.
@@sillygoose9791 fair enough, for me Ryan Reynolds was just one of those actors who had potential to become a mayor movie star but it never came to fruition I grew up with 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place, but the list is long with potential actors who started in a similar show and never even got a shot, Ryan did, multiple times and it weren’t hits He came back from that, which is pretty unique
@@johnwill4560 I wouldn't go so far to say he would get blacklisted, but if an actor is a lead and is constantly picking roles that end up bombing their career would diminish. I mean look at Taylor Lautner when he bombed his lead movie. He never quite recovered.
Lol, that may be true, but that doesn't mean he isn't one hell of an actor. His performances in Joker, Her, The Master, C'mon C'mon and Walk the Line are nothing short of perfection. Also, he's had uplifting or humorous roles as well, such as Inherent Vice and Beau is Afraid (albeit admittedly, both characters were also miserable). And he's proven with Gladiator that he can also play a neat villain
This video is directly ignoring movies like The Adam Project and Hitman’s Bodyguard (or Life or Selfless or Woman In Gold or Amityville Horror or 6 Underground or Buried for that matter). He has range, he just gets typecasted so often and he IS that type, but he can do better if given the chance.
Nah, man, someone should call him out if he's being too biased. Like you mentioned & a couple others as well. There's other movies he's been in. That have shown off his acting capabilities.
Criminal, too, I found pretty dope. Personally, I think it's not that Ryan Reynolds has no range, it's just that the movies he chooses to star in most of the time don't explore it. Heck, even in The Proposal which is a comedy right up his alley, Ryan acts in a way that is much different from say, Deadpool, for example. He masterfully morphs into this frustrated and exasperated character, who then becomes vindictive but also warms up to the person who made his life hell.
Tbh I think after playing Deadpool rocketed him to stardom, he got typecasted to those kinds of roles by studios. They know he has range, but they also know what people want is Deadpool and Deadpool-adjacent characters. It certainly helps that he gets the big paychecks and as you mentioned, he's basically acting as himself. We can't say for sure the man is completely content in this arrangement though. Hopefully, he shows us he's intent on diversifying his roles.
0:44 i feel like you’re just scratching the surface when you say he plays only a wisecracking guy while listing his famous roles. Do his other roles break the fourth wall? Do they make jokes about being pegged?
i think he's focusing more on his post deadpool stuff, where that's all he's become. but also being a wisecracking guy has always been his thing. like reynolds in that romance movie with sandra bullock and him in green lantern was just a tamer version of his deadpool character
@@BuryTheLight-tdsI like Ryan, but he does keep playing the same character in different clothes. There's nothing wrong with that imo, most actors end up playing the same character in different clothes.
Have you watched The Voices? I remember his performance in that movie, as well as the character he played, were very different and much more complex than most other roles he plays. He also gave a stellar performance in Buried.
He obviously hasn't seen them if he honestly believes Ryan has no range. I haven't seen Buried but did recently watch The Voices, it was a great movie and a great performance that was very atypical to his usual schtick.
Actually, that was the formula since the golden age of cinema. Pacino, DeNiro and Nicholson still acted with range in the 70s, bit by the 80s they met their "sweet spot" of capitalizing on personality, the same way Gable, Wayne, Eastwood, Dean, Delon or Connery did before them. There's nothing wrong with exploiting personality for roles. I mean, it worked for Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman, among a whole lot of other actors, the majority, actually.
Man, he's so fckng good at The Amityville Horror, The Captive and Buried. Hollywood made him bad for casting him the same character over and over again.
Old actors needed to have range because they would one day get old and stop getting the same role over and over again. But now with plastic surgery and steroids, they don't need to adapt.
Most old school actors didn't have a lot of "range". John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Carey Grant all pretty much had the same mannerisms for every character they played.
@ movie stars tend to not have a lot of range, Oscar-baiting actors and method actors usually are the ones more desperate to have range, although having just finished The Penguin, Colin Farrell has some range, I’d like to see more of it
A few days ago, I went to see the movie Lee and was absolutely blown away by the fact that they cast Andy Samberg - someone I had firmly filed away as a sitcom actor - in this very serious war movie, in a serious role, and he was absolutely incredible in it. I would love to see a similar branching out by Ryan Reynold. I'd love to see if he could do it.
Ryan Reynolds did try something different in the 00s with The Amityville Horror, Smoking Aces and Buried. But Blade Trinity and X-Men Origins: Wolverine as well as some comedies really paved the way for the one-note Reynolds we have today
He played George Lutz in The Amityville Horror remake. That role was a complete departure from his comedy stuff. The movie doesn't get much love but Ryan acted that role really good. Buried was another one where he was a different kind of character. He gets type casted alot. But the few times he's not in his normal roles, he acts pretty decent
I'm so glad someone else is acknowledging that Ryan Reynolds is boring and has no range. I felt a little crazy because it felt like everyone loves him and I never saw the appeal.
He never said boring bro 😂😂😂. Quite the oppisite but yea i get it. He, mark wahlberg, jason statham, the rock, kevin hart, vin diesel, Ice Cube, among many others display a clear problem in the industry.
@@badassproductions4734Vin Diesel is the example of an actor who has given up. You can barely hear what he says in recent movies. Like he speaks so much more clearly during the interviews, but in the movies, all I hear is "family." But his earlier works showed some acting talent. I watched his short film, multifaceted and I was surprised by how good he was in it. Just see XXX and compare it with the sequel. He had some charm, some energy and charisma in xxx. The sequel, you get the mumble Diesel Edit: Sorry, the short film was multifacial
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp It's not about liking versions. Movie version actually tried doing the most important part of Deadpool which is emotional side. Videogames didn't have any of it.
I've honestly had my fill of Deadpool and I'm so glad there are no plans for more sequels. The Deadpool humor and MCU humor needs to toned way down. I wanna get back to seriois films with some light humor used sparingly.
If Michael Jackson didn't moonwalk in every performance, people would start rioting. That said, if Ryan *don't* Reynolds..then may God have mercy on our souls!
He’s not limited but only picks the roles that are part of his persona. If he chose more difficult roles, he could actually improve and become a good actor
He have range. But they usually hire him to be to do that movie personality we are all used to. Im not even sure that his natural self, it looks more like its him, but turned to 11, while in real life he is like like but at 5 or something lol.
Safehouse, and buried proved he could do serious acting roles. The problem is he doesnt do enough of them because they don't offer a gajillion dollars, plus, i feel Hollywood low-key type casts him as well. I hear what you're saying and agree, but i do believe there's a great ACTOR in there when given the chance.
"Either you retire as a hero, or act long enough to be known as a bad actor and then have your movies considered great classics. Maybe get a seat in politics too" -Ex governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Ahem... Type casting is a thing for a reason. Without the money from DVDs and people going to see only huge budget CGI films in the cinema things have changed. the price you pay for hiring someone who has not proven himself beyond doubt to be the best fit for the character is huge. So yes, many people play similar characters. Joaquin is a great actor, but... If you compare his characters in "you were never really here", "the master" and "the joker" you'd see a pattern. It is our bias that says that drama is art and comedy is less of an art...
@Midas_Ong I know Deadpool was good yes I know Deadpool is the Merc with the mouth I think Ryan's joke weren't well written enough to justify the constant yapping it was just really bad and annoying like that scene in the car with Hugh Jackman delivering that fantastic dialogue like Oscar worthy level only for Ryan to ruin it with some dumb joke , man am over it
@@greenheadblackvoodochild2487 But that's Deadpool's entire character. The merc with a mouth. He doesn't stop joking around, talking, etc. Sure, he has some moments where he's a lot more serious/genuine. But for the most part, that's his entire shtick
@bilalpickid8436 I think my point is Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool is the problem idk if the novelty wore off but when he opens his mouth now it's just annoying the jokes aren't funny
100% disagree here. Having seen a lot of his movies I can say with confidence he can act! He's done several movies where doesn't play "Ryan Reynolds" it's just not very often
Same, I hate seeing his fucking Mint mobile commercials all the time and nobody cares about Wrexham, lol, they fucking suck anyways! Can't stand this guy anymore, why is he so popular?

Canonically, Hannibal King (in Blade 3) is a Deadpool variant
Didn't he try lots of serious roles that ended up flopping at the box office? I don't blame him for sticking to one thing lol.

Even then, the action movies he's been cast in. Have been pretty solid objectively speaking. I can almost guarantee myself that when I watch a Liam Neeson movie. Whether it be newer or older, I'll enjoy it. Sure, he may have made better movies back then. But he's still a great actor imo.
With the exception of Buried, I've never seen him play a risky experimental role.
He also played in Voices
@bilalpickid8436 crazy his Amityville role gets no respect. Dude was a menace in that movie.
The nines
Smokin' Aces is another one
Safe house
Keep in mind he's had two extremely carreer crushing moments in green lantern and the first deadpool iteration. Any one of those would be enough to blacklist any other actor. After recovering, i don't think he's willing to take another risk and dont blame him...
Blacklist? Those roles weren't bad cause he was playing, they were just poorly written/executed, neither of those failures are his
Well yeah, I mean crazy how he became an A-star, and he did it with heart
Are we supposed to pretend that those movies were bad enough to end careers? It's revisionist history to call them the worst ever, to make what comes after it better by comparison.
@@sillygoose9791 fair enough, for me Ryan Reynolds was just one of those actors who had potential to become a mayor movie star but it never came to fruition
I grew up with 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place, but the list is long with potential actors who started in a similar show and never even got a shot, Ryan did, multiple times and it weren’t hits
He came back from that, which is pretty unique
@@johnwill4560 I wouldn't go so far to say he would get blacklisted, but if an actor is a lead and is constantly picking roles that end up bombing their career would diminish. I mean look at Taylor Lautner when he bombed his lead movie. He never quite recovered.
He used to have more range when he did movies like “buried” then he started playing himself and never stopped
I mean, which one was more profitable?
Joaquin Phoenix does the same thing in every movie too. Being sad, miserable and depressed.
True.
Lol, that may be true, but that doesn't mean he isn't one hell of an actor. His performances in Joker, Her, The Master, C'mon C'mon and Walk the Line are nothing short of perfection. Also, he's had uplifting or humorous roles as well, such as Inherent Vice and Beau is Afraid (albeit admittedly, both characters were also miserable). And he's proven with Gladiator that he can also play a neat villain
True but at least he is interesting to watch. Not range but intensity
His character in Signs wasn't depressed.
Bro clearly hasn't seen Brother Bear 🥱
This video is directly ignoring movies like The Adam Project and Hitman’s Bodyguard (or Life or Selfless or Woman In Gold or Amityville Horror or 6 Underground or Buried for that matter). He has range, he just gets typecasted so often and he IS that type, but he can do better if given the chance.
He mentions The Hitman’s Bodyguard in the first minute.
@ but still ignores that it isn’t an entirely “funny action hero” role.
Anyone who's seen Reynolds in Smokin Aces knows he can make magic
don't forget about IF
he literally play a anti Ryan Reynolds character in that movie
Selfless was a great little movie, caught it by chance on TV and was pleasantly surprised
Not a fan of Reynolds or anything, but I think you really need to see 'Buried'...
And "The Nines"
Also The Voices
Nah, man, someone should call him out if he's being too biased. Like you mentioned & a couple others as well. There's other movies he's been in. That have shown off his acting capabilities.
Voices especially. That's a performance a one note actor can't give. That requires actual talent
Criminal, too, I found pretty dope. Personally, I think it's not that Ryan Reynolds has no range, it's just that the movies he chooses to star in most of the time don't explore it. Heck, even in The Proposal which is a comedy right up his alley, Ryan acts in a way that is much different from say, Deadpool, for example. He masterfully morphs into this frustrated and exasperated character, who then becomes vindictive but also warms up to the person who made his life hell.
I'm so glad other people see this. He's basically the same character from Van Wilder in all his films
Yeah its the only thing that makes him money
Ryan Reinolds is the Jason Sthatham of comedies.
Are you Deadpool because you're Ryan Reynolds, or are you Ryan Reynolds because you're Deadpool?
I think it’s more that Ryan gets hired for those types of roles rather than him having no range. Like, he can convey emotions well.
He was actually pretty good in Amityville horror.
Meh not really
The thing about how you critiqued this guy, is excatly in Ryan Reynolds fashion!You got us, lol.Pretty good.
So you clearly never saw smokin aces he has good range when the movie calls for it everyone just loves him funny
Watching Reynolds movies is exhausting
It's not like anyone's forcing you to watch him movies at gunpoint, if you don't like him then don't watch his movies.
Tbh I think after playing Deadpool rocketed him to stardom, he got typecasted to those kinds of roles by studios. They know he has range, but they also know what people want is Deadpool and Deadpool-adjacent characters. It certainly helps that he gets the big paychecks and as you mentioned, he's basically acting as himself. We can't say for sure the man is completely content in this arrangement though. Hopefully, he shows us he's intent on diversifying his roles.
Jim Carey proved he had range with Truman show. Ryan Reynolds’s needs to find something like that to do.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
0:44 i feel like you’re just scratching the surface when you say he plays only a wisecracking guy while listing his famous roles. Do his other roles break the fourth wall? Do they make jokes about being pegged?
It's simple, this guy didn't get his facts checked and is parroting what every other person that hate Ryan are saying.
i think he's focusing more on his post deadpool stuff, where that's all he's become. but also being a wisecracking guy has always been his thing. like reynolds in that romance movie with sandra bullock and him in green lantern was just a tamer version of his deadpool character
@@BuryTheLight-tdsI like Ryan, but he does keep playing the same character in different clothes. There's nothing wrong with that imo, most actors end up playing the same character in different clothes.
@@adeadmarshmallow9493 Yeah not to mention Waiting.
Have you watched The Voices? I remember his performance in that movie, as well as the character he played, were very different and much more complex than most other roles he plays.
He also gave a stellar performance in Buried.
He obviously hasn't seen them if he honestly believes Ryan has no range. I haven't seen Buried but did recently watch The Voices, it was a great movie and a great performance that was very atypical to his usual schtick.
2:57 That's pretty much the same thing The Rock did.
Actually, that was the formula since the golden age of cinema.
Pacino, DeNiro and Nicholson still acted with range in the 70s, bit by the 80s they met their "sweet spot" of capitalizing on personality, the same way Gable, Wayne, Eastwood, Dean, Delon or Connery did before them.
There's nothing wrong with exploiting personality for roles. I mean, it worked for Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman, among a whole lot of other actors, the majority, actually.
Ryan actually did really great in dramatic roles
Man, he's so fckng good at The Amityville Horror, The Captive and Buried. Hollywood made him bad for casting him the same character over and over again.
Yeah exactly, it's not that he has no range. It's that they don't utilize it.
To paraphrase a poet, If he was a spice, he’d be flour. If he were a book, he’d be two books. - Louise Belcher
When I get a Mint Mobile advertisement before the video💀
Old actors needed to have range because they would one day get old and stop getting the same role over and over again.
But now with plastic surgery and steroids, they don't need to adapt.
Umm John Wayne partner, John Wayne
this comment is pseudo nostalgic delusion at its finest...
Most old school actors didn't have a lot of "range". John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Carey Grant all pretty much had the same mannerisms for every character they played.
@ movie stars tend to not have a lot of range, Oscar-baiting actors and method actors usually are the ones more desperate to have range, although having just finished The Penguin, Colin Farrell has some range, I’d like to see more of it
He CAN do emotional scenes. Even Deadpool 2 has some really heart wrenching moments that I think a lot of people forget about
Ryan Gosling, but without the self awareness 😂
Ryan Gosling but not literally us
Gosling is so miserable, never smiles
@@TayWoode He looks pretty happy in barbie
The character Ryan Reynolds plays in every movie is the one self aware background character
1:44 willem Defoe too?
Philip Seymour Hoffman
He gave a great acting in The voices
A few days ago, I went to see the movie Lee and was absolutely blown away by the fact that they cast Andy Samberg - someone I had firmly filed away as a sitcom actor - in this very serious war movie, in a serious role, and he was absolutely incredible in it. I would love to see a similar branching out by Ryan Reynold. I'd love to see if he could do it.
Just watched "Life" last night where Reynolds played as, you guessed it, a wisecracking astronaut.
Gosling is the deluxe version with actual acting ability
Ryan Reynolds did try something different in the 00s with The Amityville Horror, Smoking Aces and Buried. But Blade Trinity and X-Men Origins: Wolverine as well as some comedies really paved the way for the one-note Reynolds we have today
Considering that Blade Trinity is considered the worst Blade film and that X Men Origins Wolverine is considered a terrible Wolverine prequel, yeah.
Tell me you didn't watch Ryan Reynolds before Deadpool without telling me you didn't watch Ryan Reynolds before Deadpool
The Amityville I didn't even realize it was Ryan Reynolds he definitely has a range
The parallels between the two of you are frightening.
Ryan Reynolds feels so neutered.
He played George Lutz in The Amityville Horror remake. That role was a complete departure from his comedy stuff. The movie doesn't get much love but Ryan acted that role really good. Buried was another one where he was a different kind of character.
He gets type casted alot. But the few times he's not in his normal roles, he acts pretty decent
2:36 he also played detective pikachu and played in blade
i think you forget his role in Green Lantern , truly phenomenal and unique
I'm so glad someone else is acknowledging that Ryan Reynolds is boring and has no range. I felt a little crazy because it felt like everyone loves him and I never saw the appeal.
He never said boring bro 😂😂😂. Quite the oppisite but yea i get it. He, mark wahlberg, jason statham, the rock, kevin hart, vin diesel, Ice Cube, among many others display a clear problem in the industry.
He's shown he has range. But studios hire him to play a specific character because that's what the GA wants to see from him.
@badassproductions4734 let not forget Spiderman Tom no range and his girlfriend zenday
@miagrass i would say tom definitely tried to broaden his horizon with that very infamous movie he was in. Zendaya on the other hand...
@@badassproductions4734Vin Diesel is the example of an actor who has given up. You can barely hear what he says in recent movies. Like he speaks so much more clearly during the interviews, but in the movies, all I hear is "family." But his earlier works showed some acting talent. I watched his short film, multifaceted and I was surprised by how good he was in it. Just see XXX and compare it with the sequel. He had some charm, some energy and charisma in xxx. The sequel, you get the mumble Diesel
Edit: Sorry, the short film was multifacial
It's like Deadpool isn't even Deadpool, it's just Ryan Reynolds making jokes about his career lol
Ryan Reynolds dud a movie called Buried
I love this! Talking about how something that is usually seen as negative can be something positive.
Outside of playing Deadpool, anything else he plays seems like a lackluster version of that
His version of Deadpool is a lackluster version of the character. It’s the most surface level idea of what he is
@@et4003Still better than the videogame!
@ well of course
@@kendi5391nah, I like the video game version more
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp It's not about liking versions. Movie version actually tried doing the most important part of Deadpool which is emotional side.
Videogames didn't have any of it.
do you think he's ever been offered a different role tho? If Hollywood wants him to be just that, what choice does he have.
I've honestly had my fill of Deadpool and I'm so glad there are no plans for more sequels. The Deadpool humor and MCU humor needs to toned way down. I wanna get back to seriois films with some light humor used sparingly.
Obviously you guys haven't seen a little flick called Buried.
If Michael Jackson didn't moonwalk in every performance, people would start rioting.
That said, if Ryan *don't* Reynolds..then may God have mercy on our souls!
You get it
So Ryan Reynolds has been playing Marvel characters before actually playing one.
Have you watched "Burried" ?
What about The Amityville Horror?
The fact that these two are the only ones worth mentioning says a lot.
He’s not limited but only picks the roles that are part of his persona. If he chose more difficult roles, he could actually improve and become a good actor
He have range. But they usually hire him to be to do that movie personality we are all used to. Im not even sure that his natural self, it looks more like its him, but turned to 11, while in real life he is like like but at 5 or something lol.
I wanna see ryan in a film where he isnt the snarky guy like in a sad movie
As much as I agree with you😂😂, he still has one or two movies not playing this stereotype😂😂
Buried
Safe house
The captive
Woman in gold
Only four, huh.
Ryan is a cheat meal you know it’s bad but crave for more lol
Safehouse, and buried proved he could do serious acting roles. The problem is he doesnt do enough of them because they don't offer a gajillion dollars, plus, i feel Hollywood low-key type casts him as well. I hear what you're saying and agree, but i do believe there's a great ACTOR in there when given the chance.
Dudes been playing Van Wilder his entire career
His Deadpool humour has gotten old
How exactly was Ryan Reynolds wise-cracking in ''Life'' (2017)?
"Either you retire as a hero, or act long enough to be known as a bad actor and then have your movies considered great classics. Maybe get a seat in politics too" -Ex governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Don't be mad at Ryan... be mad at his agent for letting him be typecast.
Ahem...
Type casting is a thing for a reason. Without the money from DVDs and people going to see only huge budget CGI films in the cinema things have changed. the price you pay for hiring someone who has not proven himself beyond doubt to be the best fit for the character is huge.
So yes, many people play similar characters. Joaquin is a great actor, but... If you compare his characters in "you were never really here", "the master" and "the joker" you'd see a pattern.
It is our bias that says that drama is art and comedy is less of an art...
I guessed we forgot amityville horror 🤷♂️
I liked him in ''Buried'', ''Smokin' Aces'' and ''The Voices''
''The Nines'' and 'Life' are cool too
Even Detective Pikachu is just Deadpool in Pikachu's body
I do agree buuut he was not bad in buried and smokin aces
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. He’s also in that
He did a movie "buried" thats was good, but you right I actually agree i hated Deadpool and wolverine because ryan wouldn't stop talking
That's the character of deadpool lol
@Midas_Ong I know Deadpool was good yes I know Deadpool is the Merc with the mouth I think Ryan's joke weren't well written enough to justify the constant yapping it was just really bad and annoying like that scene in the car with Hugh Jackman delivering that fantastic dialogue like Oscar worthy level only for Ryan to ruin it with some dumb joke , man am over it
@@greenheadblackvoodochild2487 But that's Deadpool's entire character. The merc with a mouth. He doesn't stop joking around, talking, etc. Sure, he has some moments where he's a lot more serious/genuine. But for the most part, that's his entire shtick
@bilalpickid8436 I think my point is Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool is the problem idk if the novelty wore off but when he opens his mouth now it's just annoying the jokes aren't funny
@greenheadblackvoodochild2487 I get it, that's why most of the other marvel characters are sick of him. Realistically it would get old after a while.
100% disagree here. Having seen a lot of his movies I can say with confidence he can act! He's done several movies where doesn't play "Ryan Reynolds" it's just not very often
You’re right
Two people you see on the screen that are not acting: babies, and Ryan Reynolds.
When the actor has no range...
Robert De Niro 👁👄👁
The Amityville horror was a different work of him
He was pretty good in "THE VOICES"
Never been funny to me.
same
Same, I hate seeing his fucking Mint mobile commercials all the time and nobody cares about Wrexham, lol, they fucking suck anyways! Can't stand this guy anymore, why is he so popular?
Good for you.
