I watched "The Perfect Storm" over the weekend and I have concluded I don't really like any movie he is in. Batman, Three Kings, Perfect Storm, One Fine Day. All lousy performances. The only decent one was the PeaceMaker but on the other hand I saw that on a plane so anything would have been fine.

I agree with you for the most part. The Perfect Storm was one of the cheesiest, most overrated movies I've ever seen. I won't even start on the Batman movie. I did like Three Kings, though. Oh, and have you seen Out of Sight? I like it, but that may be only because it is based on an Elmore Leonard novel.

EDIT: How could I forget From Dusk Till Dawn? So bad it's good. ;)

The Perfect Storm itself was terribly overated. While a very sad story as a movie it failed and tried too hard. While I wasn't into the hoopla of Titanic when I saw it on cable it did a better job even though you knew the fate of the ship.

On &quot;Perect Storm&quot; - Read the book if you havent already done so. A very strange writing style but informative and interesting. Couldnt do it justice as a movie. Watched again last night also and was thinking how different from the book.

George Clooney -

Another actor who believed his own hype. How many have left top spots in hot shows never to be heard from again as a star. Remember the guy from NYPD, cant remember his name but a redhead I think, one movie then where??

From Dusk Til Dawn...isn't that the movie that seems normal, but half way through these vampires come out from the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE and start killing people?

I was like where the f*&amp;k did that come from? :Q

He was great in Three Kings and Out of Sight. In fact these are both good movies so drop everything and go see them NOW.

Batman well we wont go there :).

I didn't think George Clooney was bad in Perfect Storm. I think Perfect Storm was just a bad movie. Acting can only go so far..

I agree, Clooney pretty much sucks donkey balls. But &quot;O Brother Where Art Thou&quot; looks pretty good. It's a Coen brothers movie after all.

ROTFL, you guys are too funny!

He doesn't do much for me. Liked him in ER but never was impressed with anything else. He's soap opera trained, and I'm not a soap opera kind of person.

I like the REAL actors, like Sinise, Malcovich, etc. :) The guys who are man enough to perform in the theatre, now that's talent!

George Clooney was great in &quot;O Brother, Where Art Thou.&quot; His best role yet (well, there is Out of Sight...)
