A little of both, honestly. He's been in a lot of shit movies, but he's been entertaining in a lot of those shit movies.

Yes.

I just saw Vampire's Kiss for the first time. Definitely genius.

We can talk shit all we want but he is great in most of his roles.
Latest thing Ive seen from him was The Trust and the played it marvelously.

I can't speak of him as a guy because I don't know him, but he is unquestionably a genius actor.

>hack or genius
You misspelled "genre".
He's a one man fucking genre.

...

Watch Matchstick man on Netflix you won't regret it
And yes thus man makes any movie watchable

I think it depends on your definition of genius. Mine is that if you lose the charm when you are old you are a hack

What Sup Forums think of this?

It was a decent watchable flick, if a little underwhelming.

Will we ever see Nicolas Cage nailing the main role at an opera?

he is a national treasure, too bad hes completely lost his mind now and is only starring in weird shitty movies for the paycheck. the last good one was Army of One, really funny flick.

You gotta admit, it takes a real genius to make otherwise unwatchable movies watchable.

I'll watch anything he's in
Hell I even consider "knowing" a masterpiece

>Hack or genius?
yes

Hacknee-us

He lucked out that ONE time in the 80's. Was always a hack.
Any actor that makes up an acting method that's just him making fun of people with REAL mental handicaps, is a hack.

Even in the shittiest movie he's in he still acts like a madman. He isn't like those De Niro, Willis, Neeson who stopped giving a shit long time ago. I really admire him for that. He cares and gives more than what is written on the paycheck

He's a genius hack

Bah! THOSE hacks are only making movies 'cause better actors than they died and they were all the industry had to work with at the time. Guess they're all legends now.

joe is actually one of his better movies, not just because of his performance

Genius

true patrician actor.

Hack indicates the guy is generic or a copy. Cage is one of a kind.

he's a good actor.

he was great in matchstick men and leaving las vegas.

hes just in shit movies

a hack is someone like robert pattinson. cage is a believable actor.

i'm a caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

He got into acting due to being a Coppola and therefore never needed to develop any talent before they were shoving him in front of a screen. I think he figured that he might as well have fun with. This guy isn't good though, don't get it twisted

he's believable. thus, he's good.
there's no other metric by which to judge an actor.

If you think his acting was good in LLV then you seriously need to reexamine what qualifies as a good performance for you.

The rare case of nepotism being a good thing. The guy's a real movie star.

Tell me your metrics. Just because you don't like the character he plays doesn't mean the character isn't believable. He's been on camera for 40 years I think he's pretty well got it sorted by now.

Is that the fucking "I'll be useful,sir." guy?
