He was, and always has been, a tedious actor to watch.
- Wtf does that even mean?
  
  He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.
  In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.
  Just my opinion
  
  I thought he played Zuckerburg incredibly well. Honestly I do. However, I realized later that's because he has the same super awkward mannerisms as Zuckerberg, and I don't think he was really doing much acting in that movie. Everything else he's been in I've thought he was awkward and a bad cast
  
  He plays Zuck so well that he just decided to keep doing it over and over.
  Zombieland = post-apocalyptic Zuck
  BvS = Batzuck
  Rio = Flying Zuck
  ...
  
  I agree with this. He was only good in that single movie.
  
  Yeah he played a neurotic weirdo really well. I'm not so much sure if that's him being a good actor or just perfect role for him though. Kind of like when Hayden Christensen was really good as that Glass guy.
  
  Im over here trying to remember if Lex Luthor was even in that movie. That's how forgettable he was.
  
  He was super hyper and awkward in that movie. The scene with the candy was just... Bad.
  Luther needs to be calm and collected. A man of charm and charisma. And towering rage when his plots and plans fail.
  Luther cannot be an autistic man child who puts candy in other people's mouth. That's exactly the wrong take.
  
  How I feel about Colin Ferrell. How tf he got cast as Alexander the fu**ing Great will always baffle me
  
  Hard disagree
  
  what movies would you say are great because of him?
  
  The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges, he also does a great Penguin
  
  You sound like you have a personal issue with him
  
  Nope. Never met him. I’m sure he’s a lovely chap, but IMHO he’s better suited to a completely different career
  
  Fair enough. I won't knock your opinion.
  
  Found Jarret Leto's lemmy account
  
  I'm a great actor!!!
  
  I laughed way too hard at this
