JohnEBGood Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just watched matchstick men last night for the second time...and i realized that cage is pretty awesome. really just a solid actor. he was great in raising arizona and def the rock as well. now he has national treasure coming out and that looks like its gonna be pretty sweet as well...looks more like the rock than matchstick men, but still solid. so whats ya'lls take on him?

blackcalx Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I like Cage, but I could not get into Matchstick Men. Part of the problem is that my daughter was particularly cranky that night and we ended up shutting it off since we couldn't hear it anyway. I've been told that I really should watch the movie all the way through, but I never have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think he had the absolute worst Southern accent in "Con Air" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I thought he was great in Raising Arizona, but National Treaure looks like a DaVinci Code knockoff that usually shows up on the USA Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnEBGood Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 my friend brought up the da vinci code thing and i didnt really think that, myself. (and btw...con air his accent was bit "off")....anyway.....this is just a similar theme...not def the same thing as the DVC. i just think its gonna be fun...flat out.

secretvampire Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Cage is great at times (Raising Arizona, Adaptation) but he also makes some God-awful career choices and gets involved in some terrible films. Get a new agent, Nicolas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I like his work but I hated matchstick men. Was far too easy to see the end. That always seems to ruin movies for me. He was phenominal in adaptation. Still one of my favorite movies. I'd say he's in my top 5 favorite actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Can't stand the guy. In fact I all but avoid any movie that he is in because I simply do not like his screen presence/acting etc. Same goes for Kevin Costner. Another guy I simply do not like an as an actor.

Angel P Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 How about Cage playing Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 How about Cage playing Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider? I'm a huge fan of the Ghost Rider comic and I was more than disappointed to read that. I'll more than likely give the movie a watch nonetheless. Too much a fan of the character not too really. As long as he's a flaming skull the majority of the time, all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnEBGood Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 some hate on matchstick and cage in general....wow. Face Off was pretty awesome...Castor Troy ruled....as did Stanley Goodspeed....looks like national treasure is haeded in more of a Rock direction too..which is what got me interested...i can watch the Rock anytime and not get bored.

Andy Sheets Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I think Cage is a very good actor that, as others pointed out, tarnished his reputation with too many stupid choices. I thought Matchstick Men was alright, and Cage was very good in it, which is saying something coming from me since I dislike con artist movies almost as much as heist films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoolieMan Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Personally, I think Cage is a horrible actor. I agree that Raising Arizona was pretty good. But since then, he has just played a bunch of parts that could have just as easily been played by any other actor. I don't make it a point to dislike many actors, but Cage is at the top of my bad actors list. Not to crap on all the praise he is getting in this thread, just wanted to show you guys that there are people on the other side of the fence.

JohnEBGood Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hoolieman. (stop) First off...great avatar! (stop) second...its fine to express the opposite side...but he's a solid actor...Adaptation was great. His list of movies is nothing to be ashamed of IMO...ok...maybe Con Air. BUT...other than that i think he's really good...he's funny as hell too. i bet national treasure is the same way...just dry humor the only way cage can do it. have some faith homie.
