As much as The King's Speech didn't move me, Rush was night and day better than Bale.

- It's one of those showy roles where overacting gets rewarded inappropriately. -- nm - David Apr 7, 08:51 13
  - he's not overacting. - Mel Profit Apr 7, 09:14
  - I grew up in that area, and he was not overacting. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:51 11
    - I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with David, but there is quite a bit more to acting than just an accent. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 7, 08:52 10
      - exactly... - Mel Profit Apr 7, 09:16 1

      - I don't care about the accent either way (although the sisters were hysterical). The performance itself bugged me. - David Apr 7, 08:54 4
        
        of the three I thought Adam's was the lesser performance. - Mel Profit Apr 7, 09:23
        
        *nods* Wahlberg got swamped by the flashy stuff when he had to be the straight guy - Will Hunting Apr 7, 08:57
        
        as for Adams, I liked her, but the accent was awkward and that took me out of her performance. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:56
        
        I actually loved Wahlberg in it for that exact reason. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:55
      - fair enough. the real guy is a larger than life personality, though. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:53 2
        
        I actually watched the fights of the main character, back in the day. - David Apr 7, 08:55 1
        
        after seeing it I understand why they left out the Ward/Gatti fights but boy if I was writing that script I would have found a way. - Mel Profit Apr 7, 09:17
