Michael B Jordan is a mediocre actor

[The G.O.D II]

rewatching BP and his performance is so jarringly bad in comparison to Bosewick, Lupita, Michonne, etc. Sucks because as we know his character is the most interesting but he does it absolutely no justice with his crappy delivery and facial expressions just to scratch the surface. He’s Tyrin Turner status

I watched the movie again today too and had similar thoughts. He isnt mediocre, but he is charismatic and it brings him through. But those scenes on the maglev against Chadwick showed how much better Chadwick is than Jordan. He ran laps around him at times.

its about 5 threads on here saying the same thing

See I don’t think he’s charismatic. Quite the opposite. Every line he delivered was pretty much in the same tone. I just couldn’t help to think some one like Marshalia Ali(i butchered his name I know) would have killed the role but he’s probably too old.

He has shown very limited range, but he is very good at what he does. He plays those same few emotions extremely well, and his roles are chosen accordingly. Some of the GOAT actors have limited range, too. I don’t see the problem.

He has one energy that he channels high or low

reminds me of Will Smith

Yeah I saw Black Panther for the first time the other day and couldn't help but think how bad he acts in comparison to Chadwick. I just assumed Boseman is such a good actor he makes everyone else look bad.

 

[Versa]

Thought he was great

 

[The Bookie]

Surprised he made it past The Wire. His acting was trash in that too.

 

[Htrb-nvr-blk-&-ug-as-evr]

Always thought this. Couldn’t get 30 minutes thru Fahrenheit because of his acting and how generally bad the movie was...

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Yeah breh is making a living off his charisma and physical looks + likable personality when it comes to behind the scenes networking.

Chadwick was great his accent wasn't believable to me in BP or in Marshall.

Don’t ever compare him to Will Smith

Just rewatched BP Saturday for the first time since seeing it in February and I agree. His portrayal loses steam halfway into the movie and becomes this caricature. He has a pocket he needs to stay in to be effective without over extending himself.
