I only wish a better film had been made around his performance.)<br /><br />Kevin:<br /><br />McConaughey - 4(Although I did not care for the film, McConaughey does gives an appropriately passionate performance, and delivery of the summation at end of the film is particularly effective)<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Gibson - 4(Really knows how to say "Gimme Back My Son". Anyway very solid if simple leading turn by him)<br /><br />Taylor - 4(He very much got the shaft when it came to acclaim for the film as Rush's performance probably would not have worked if it was not for Taylor. Rush gets to Helfgott when he becomes basically one note, Taylor is the one who earns by effectively showing how Helfgott got to that point)<br /><br />Murphy - 4(One of his best performances. He's actually brings a lot of honest warmth when he's the fat Sherman, then he really quite entertaining when he is the sleazy Buddy Love or one of the other Klump family members)<br /><br />Connery - 3(It's all about being "The Last One", but his voice definitely fits being a dragon)<br /><br />Quaid - 3(In conception he seems very miscast as a knight, but he actually does a pretty decent job of being the hero)<br /><br />Thewlis - 2(Over the top but not in a good a way)<br /><br />Postlethwaite - 3(Over the top, but in an endearing sort of way)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-64373879804901684472014-03-12T19:38:08.122-04:002014-03-12T19:38:08.122-04:00Want to see Branagh because I'm beginning to r...Want to see Branagh because I'm beginning to really like Shakespeare!! joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-85664787698046059032014-03-12T12:55:00.962-04:002014-03-12T12:55:00.962-04:00Fair enough.Fair enough.Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-3471764151124576362014-03-12T12:51:41.176-04:002014-03-12T12:51:41.176-04:00It's funny that you mention that, as I was ori...It's funny that you mention that, as I was originally going to write:<br /><br />"Although I did not care for the film, McConaughey does gives an appropriately passionate performance, and delivery of the summation at end of the film is particularly effective, although the writing behind the summation is more than a little questionable" <br /><br />I didn't because that's hardly McConaughey's fault.
