I'm not a big Damon fan but I love those Bourne movies.

(that'd be Ben Affleck's line I believe)

 

[JohnnyB]

Great actor.

 

[Uno]

yea, amazing actor and great series of flicks.

what do you have against Damon, the guy is money.

 

[alm]

I just think besides the Bourne movies and The Departed he is a bit like Keanu Reeves. A bit dopey and stiff.

Watching Tropical Thunder again... Talk about a fricking funny ass movie.

 

[Jack Herer]

Rounders
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Departed
Saving Private Ryan
Ocean's Eleven and the ones that followed

All pretty good movies in my opinion.

 

[BC-Eagles]

I wouldn't call him Dopey...he went to Harvard.

 

[Uno]

I would not call him crap either...

I think we can all agree who may be crap...

He is crap, he doesnt act unless you count acting like Matt Damon he does that very well in all of his movies. And as long as they are making movies that need a guy that can act like Matt Damon he will continue to find jobs.

 

[Greenbacks]

Got to mention one of his better movies,if not the best

Good Will Hunting :toast:

People Have Said The Same Re. Jack Nicholson

He is crap, he doesnt act unless you count acting like Matt Damon he does that very well in all of his movies. And as long as they are making movies that need a guy that can act like Matt Damon he will continue to find jobs.

After he collects his "Oscars"!! To compare him to Reeves is like comparing the Lions to a football team.

Damon is a big star now but from what I read he has not let it go to his head and remains friends with his pre Good Will Hunting Days neighborhood buddies. The Bourne Triology was exellent considering the genere. As mentioned above Damon has shown a broad acting range beside the James Bond like Jason Bourne.

He more than held his own with the talented Edward Norton and John Malkovich in the excellent gambling movie "Rounders".

From the Oceans franchise to the Talented Mr. Ripley Matt Damon has demonstrated he can pull off a wide range of rolls with apparent ease. He has a big future still ahead of him at 38 years old.

Look for an upcoming release of "The Informant" in 2009 starring Damon and directed by Stephen Soderbergh.

"The Informant" is the tale of Mark Whitacre (played by Matt Damon), an Ivy League Ph.D. who was a rising star at Decatur's Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in the early 1990s. He wound up blowing the whistle on the company's price fixing tactics and became the highest-ranked executive to ever turn whistleblower in US history. Whitacre secretly gathered hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes over several years to present to the FBI which became one of the largest price fixing cases in history. In the story -- a dark comedy / thriller in director Steven Soderbergh's hands -- Whitacre's good deed dovetails with his own major infractions and struggle with bipolar disorder.

He was *great* in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Also very good in Rounders.

Never seen the Bourne movies, though. hno:

Maybe I'm just influenced by the wife a bit. Mr Ripley was a pretty good film as well.

I would not call him crap either...

I think we can all agree who may be crap...

Who is that Uno?
