Oh, Bale, Pitt, DiCaprio and Lewis are all an era older than Gosling and McAvoy, so I didn't bundle them together.

I would bundle Norton with the above, all are in their forties and older. Gosling and McAvoy are late 20s early 30s.

Fassbender isn't that great an actor, nothing in the level of Dicaprio and the gang.

The funniest thing about this topic is that there is so little talent in our contemporaries that it's even difficult to contrast.

I watched the last Transformers movie and I wasn't that impressed at all with his acting. The scene where he tries to drive his car into the base and they lift his car up is stupid as hell. The way he overreacted in that scene was pretty bad. He was pretty much screaming at the top of his lungs just because they lifted his shitty car up a little off the ground. That was probably one of the dumbest movie scenes I have ever seen.

I don't get the hate...He's a pretty good actor imo.

Yeah, he's the comic relief for action movies. Which is always an important part of action movies based on children's toys, but not for serious action like the Bourne series.

The interesting thing about Shia action movies is that they make the comic relief character the starring role. And for that specific sub-sub-genre of action movie Shia is well suited.

It's good for people to find their place in the world.

I just imagined Shia instead of Sharlton Copley as Wikus, and I puked. 

Just the thought of him being in there momentarily ruined District 9 for me. 

I'm indifferent to him. I don't feel his presence on the screen at all. His existence in his films is just boring to me.

A douche who can't act and drags down the quality of every movie he's in, nothing more and nothing less.

He will always be that guy from Holes to me.

No, but he's half decent. I don't like him nor do I dislike him.

I think hes needs to be put in different roles. Always playing the same one over and over.
