Well you seem very certain about that but I can honestly swear on my life that I have no idea how you can be right.

Either you were too thick to register that then, or you ignored that in order to add it to your agenda. Why the anger?

Well that was easy, misc engage!

Oh I suppose you would prefer some baby faced phaggot like Leonardo DiCaprio.

Well he is not on the same level as the men in this poll.

DiCaprio has way more talent than Jason Statham. Statham plays the same monotone character in every single film. He delivers his lines in the exact same breathy tone of voice regardless of the situation or emotional state of his character. He has no range whatsoever. He's just a cardboard cutout who stars in blockbusters that draw big numbers because they have a lot of action and they blow stuff up.

How about somebody with some actual range, like Daniel Day Lewis?

Jason Statham plays the roles he is expected to perfectly. A cool tough guy who kicks ass and takes names. Leonardo DiCaprio could never come off as such a man because he has the face of a 5 year old.

Also, Statham can do this..



That is a real fight btw.

And Dena.. the main guy in The Expendables is Sylvester Stallone. He has been nominated for many awards including Golden Globes, Bafta's and an Oscar. He even did the movie "Copland" for barely anything to prove he is not just an action hero.

One Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, one BAFTA nomination for Best Actor and one Academy Award nomination for Best Actor all for the same role... And he's the only one out of The Expendables cast (except Mickey Rourke and maybe at a push Bruce Willis) who have any sort of merit to their name with regards to acting ability. The rest are all appalling actors. Even Stallone isn't a very good actor. Look how many Razzie nominations he has.

But you're trolling anyway so I probably shouldn't waste my time.

They tried to add a plot but I seem to remember a 10 minute conversation with Mickey Rourke and Stallone where I couldn't understand anything and they just looked like their faces were about to melt off.

I disagree. It is much harder to pull of being a legit action star like Stallone in blockbuster after blockbuster, than it is to act like a homosexual old man and bore the audience to death like Leonardo Dicaprio does in J Edgar.

Lol, blockbuster after blockbuster? Like the second highest grossing film of all time? Like Inception, Shutter Island, The Departed, Romeo and Juliet, Blood Diamond and Catch Me If You Can? Even more dramatic films like The Aviator and Gangs of New York did well at the box office. Not to mention that they were all actually good movies as opposed to most of the crap that Stallone makes. At the age of 37 he's already a more successful and better actor than most of these clowns you revere will ever be.

If Jason Statham had took his role in most of those films, they would be much better. Although I will agree with you there are some great movies in that list, not because of DiCaprio though.. because of the script and great directing.

If we're talking at around that age then there are others like Russell Crowe, Viggo Mortensen, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Javier Bardem who are all very accomplished. Younger than that and you've got the likes of Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender and Joaquin Phoenix but their careers are still very young so it's not exactly fair to compare them to greats like De Niro and Pacino.
