Denzel Washington vs. Will Smith - Who's the GOAT Actor?

[BXKingPin82]

Titanic made a billion dollars, but the lighting was off so it was a flop.

word
like, damn you can say you wasnt feeling the shyt
maybe it was a disappointment
but when some shyt bring in the bread you cant call the shyt a flop
that blasphemy lol

 

[Data-Hawk]

Denzel plays like the same person over n over.. Going with will

 

[Dwolf]

Denzel is the better actor but I would rather see a WS film. Daniel Day Lewis IMO is better than both, because he hasn't saturated his career with trash films.

Just had to throw a cac in the mix

muthafukka aint got a goddamn thing to do with the topic at hand
where the fukk Daniel Day Lewis come from?
where do you see his name at in the op?

 

[wire28]

originally i thought this was easily denzel

but he does play the same person over and over

but he does it so well tho

yeah im still going with denzel but its not a easy blowout like it looks on paper

 

[Don Mack]

I had to go with Will Smith based on recent history because Denzel seems to be a Cop or Detective in most of his recent movies.

Denzel is the greatest actor of all time...old, young, black or white...I don't care...

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Denzel and it aint even close

 

[Bawon Samedi]

But I think I enjoy Wills films more.

Denzel Washington on the strength of:

Malcolm X

Training Day

Glory

American Gangster

Devil In A Blue Dress

Mo Betta Blues

All classics...
Plus

Mississippi Massala
Crimson Tide
The Hurricane
Remember the Titans
John Q
Antoine FIsher
Out of Time
Man on Fire
The Manchurian Candidate
Book of Eli

All of those are great performances...

Will's got some great blockbusters...but he only has like a few great Drama roles...off the top of my head...
Ali and Pursuit of Happiness...

Will is a great actor too...but it seems as if all of his roles, he's playing himself or some grown up version of the Fresh Prince.

I don't see how this is even a comparison...

 

[Jello Biafra]

Honestly, I can never choose between these two. Will Smith has so much range in his movies, but Denzel really makes me believe he's the character.

I can't choose brehs

It's Will IMO. He has a much broader range.

Seriously though...

 

[Made Man]

Ali, I Robot, Pursuit of Happiness, MIB, Hitch, 7LBS, I am Legend, Bad Boys .... off of range alone I have to go with Will. I can see Will playing any of Denzels roles. Not the other way around.

Even just going by Denzel's recent performances I don't see how you or anyone else could look at his performance in Flight and say that he is a limited actor.
