Is Shia LaBeouf a "great" actor?

[PanthersClinic]

Can't say I'm a fan. He isn't masculine enough.

[nickzz]

i'll put it this way: i've never heard anyone refer to him as great... but he has certainly evolved as an actor in a huge way

[Brooklyn Bully]

Great?

Was having a similar discussion about Zac Efron today. I think Zac Efron is on the verge of being an "elite" actor. He's great and versatile, love that man.

He's a cool ass sexy mofo. No denying it.

When you are the same character in every role you ever take, usually a sign that you're a terrible actor, nicholas cage excluded

[Captroop]

"Great" puts him in the same conversation with De Niro, Streep, Oldman, Pacino, Hanks, Nicholson, Blanchett and Hopkins. If you think you can do that, you are just wrong, or have irreparably bad taste in movies.

 

(*edit* Pacino before he became a parody of himself)

 

Great actors and actresses vanish into the role they are playing, make you forget that you are watching someone acting, and are distinguishable from one role to the other. I'd throw in D'Onofrio for the "Great" conversation because he is a chameleon that changes his colors with every role he takes.

 

Shia is just Shia in every role he takes. If someone says he is a great actor, what they really mean is, "I've seen him in a lot of movies I like."

 

And if they try to reboot the Indiana Jones franchise with him at the helm, I hope that when I murder him, a grateful world will give me an airtight alibi.

Jonah Hill is creeping towards being great. Two oscar noms already. Does well at the box office.

[Chimera]

IMO Jonah Hill always looks like he's acting. It doesn't seem very natural to me, if that makes sense.

[Jangler]

who?

[heel31ok]

Made millions of dollars and banged Megan Fox?

Great life even if he isn't a great actor. Just sayin

 

then great actors are a dime a dozen...

 

[Mother Grabber]

Jonah Hill and Shia LaBoof are the benchmarks for acting these days?  good lord.
