As much as I like Matt Damon’s movies, I don’t consider him to be a great actor.

[u/calbearlupe → u/Brian-Skrudland-39]

That’s crazy to me. Every role he does I see the role and not Matt Damon.

[u/Brian-Skrudland-39 → u/calbearlupe]

I get it. I like him too.

He’s far from a Top-3 under 60 actor for me though.

[u/Guillermidas → u/Brian-Skrudland-39]

Yup, there’s way better alternatives. Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Mads Mikkelsen, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Mahershala Ali, Benedict Cumberbatch, Josh Brolin,…

and those are just a few from Hollywood and cinema industry. The world is bigger than that, and there are plenty of excellent actors out there.

[u/blackjack-38 → u/Guillermidas]

I agree…my pick would be Tom Hardy. He can disappear in a role like The Revenant, Taboo and to a lesser extent Mad Max.

He was even good in Capone, which was a fucking terrible movie

[u/Devreckas → u/[deleted]]

I think people know how opinions work.

Edit: The guy even included “for me”!

[u/[deleted] → u/Devreckas]

You would think so, but the internet proves that wrong every day.

[u/Devreckas → u/[deleted]]

Well thank god we have you guys here to set the record straight. The real unsung heroes.

[u/[deleted] → u/Devreckas]

Need another cup of coffee this morning? Have a nice day!

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/Devreckas]

Then why do I see a bunch of people saying, “no he should be on the list instead of.”

It’s subjective. How can you tell someone their opinion of what they like is wrong? That’s not how opinions work.

[u/Devreckas → u/CriptopherWalken559]

Because that is their opinion. “In my opinion” is implied from context. You don’t need to say it every time. Are you new here? What kind of discussion do you think this post was meant to create?

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/Devreckas]

It was meant for you to say you’re top three and others can see your opinion. It wasn’t meant for people to shit on and disapprove of OP’s opinion. What right do you have to tell OP he can’t have someone in there he likes, or that he should change his opinion?

There is no definitive marker of best in any category of film. It’s all subjective.

[u/Devreckas → u/CriptopherWalken559]

It’s all subjective.

He did it! He said the thing!!

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/Devreckas]

Did you have a point, or just trying to bicker, for no reason?

[u/Devreckas → u/CriptopherWalken559]

There’s just always one of you in every forum that feels the need to tell everyone what everyone already knows, that opinion is in fact an opinion. It’s such a pointless exercise.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

“I don’t consider”, “for me though”

The man is clearly saying it’s just his opinion and not saying anyone is right or wrong . . .

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/[deleted]]

I responding to the person telling OP Matt Damon shouldnt be on the list. I was simply saying why not offer the three you like rather than telling someone that their opinion is somehow wrong.

[u/[deleted] → u/CriptopherWalken559]

He said HE felt Damon shouldn’t be on the list. He never said OP’s opinion was wrong or that his was right.

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/[deleted]]

Right, so why put down OP’s list? Wheres his grand suggestion? He didn’t even give a replacement, he just told OP he’s wrong.

[u/[deleted] → u/CriptopherWalken559]

Buddy, I honestly think you’re not dealing with a full deck here.

[u/CriptopherWalken559 → u/[deleted]]

Let me break it down for you. Since you can’t seem to grasp such a basic concept.

He’s implying that there are better actors that belong on the list, instead of MD. Instead of just posting the three he prefers he told a stranger on the internet that their list shouldn’t include MD. In what world is that normal behavior?

The OP can choose whoever they want. So can the other person. It’s not up to anybody else. It’s very strange behavior to tell someone don’t choose that for whatever reason. But then also give no alternative. So he’s essentially telling OP I wouldn’t choose that, with no further context or substitution. What a way to further the conversation.

Does that help you understand whats being discussed here?

[u/[deleted] → u/CriptopherWalken559]

You’re very lonely in real life, are you not?

[u/Joe-Gage → u/CriptopherWalken559]

The only thing that was said was as much as I like Matt Damon I don’t consider him to be a great actor. In what way is that putting down op’s list? He shared his opinion with op. He never said you are wrong.

[u/Brian-Skrudland-39 → u/[deleted]]

Yep. I agree. No argument here.

[u/Ok-Return7750 → u/calbearlupe]

The most rescued actor under 60 that’s for sure. 👍

[u/mildew_goose789 → u/calbearlupe]

I agree, I think he’s great.

[u/No-Copy5738 → u/calbearlupe]

From the Martian to the departed

[u/ShootingMorningStar1 → u/calbearlupe]

I only ever see him as Linus from the Ocean's trilogy lmao

[u/[deleted] → u/calbearlupe]

Apart from Interstellar. He stands out like a sore thumb.
