Redhead74 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 As much as I love Leonardo di Caprio and Johnny Depp I think Javier Bardem is so much better than both of them. He's not a babe, but man that guy can act. Christopher Waltz in Django was outstanding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Javier Bardem is fun to watch in any film. Concur on Waltz. Still have not seen Django. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 His career nearly went down the tubes after The Beach but Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York brought him from the trash heap. He was one of those actors people use to laugh about and were later silenced after The Aviator.Many say he was overshadowed by Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York but I felt he did pretty well.

Ricky_Rose Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Daniel Day-Lewis' work in There Will Be Blood blew my mind. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen in my life.I also loved Tom Hardy in Bronson. He did such an excellent job.Those performances alone make me think that Daniel Day-Lewis and Tom Hardy are two of the finest actors of the past decade.

Estranged Reality Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is Day-Lewis really an actor 'of the last 10 years' though? Granted he's turned in a couple amazing performances, but he's been a household name since the 1980s. Usually when you pose a question like this you mean which actor has emerged in the past ten years and been the best, in which case I'd say DiCaprio (I think he only became respected for his acting starting with films like Catch Me If You Can), Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, amongst others. Bale has been acting since he was a kid but I think American Psycho really put him on the map as an adult talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Most of the people being mentioned have been around since (at least) the 90s Michael Fassbender, Emile Hirsch, Garrett Hedlund, Miles Teller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd agree but you can't deny his performances in Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood and Lincoln. The thread should be renamed best male performances in the last ten years.

I feel like a lot of people overlook Gangs of New York but maybe it's justified because of TWBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
