frostyj Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The Last Boy Scout. Whole 9 Yards. Look Who's Talking Bruce has been in over 80 movies/tv shows, Will almost 30. I do like both of 'em but Bruce wins imho Die Hard 5 is in the works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 They both made music right? The question is Bruce v Will, and they both made movies, TV, and music. Will smith just happened to have more range as an actor, better music, and better TV. ... unless you liked moonlighting or I missed Bruce's Academy Award nominations. Okay....long story short...you missed the point of the thread......theatrically speaking, pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRNY4ZRNY Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 My thing is, Smith is a great "cryer". See Pursuit of Happieness and even Fresh Price of Bel Air days. (The episode when his Dad comes back and than leaves again. Click to 1.14 seconds.)But Bruce can cry to. Especially when someone has abducted or killed a family member. They both are awesome in action scenes and both have great prescence. Bruce has had more movies. Will might be a slightly better actor. But Bruce is more bad ass.

This whole thread is about movie performances, IMO. And these are, for the most part, men talking about it. Unless you are a female, crying scenes don't mean ****. Bad ass material is what I'm looking for and I'm sure most are. Bruce wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is hard to cry and literally make tears come out of your eyes when you are "acting" in front of people. Its like a hard rock song. You gotta enjoy the slower tempo moments to appreciate the harder parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyfar Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 how could people like 5th element? I thought it was a quirky little sci fi flick. It made me feel the way I did when i saw the first Star Wars. It doesn't help that I'm a Gary Oldman fan though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears of the Sun... Bruce has a scene where I seem to remember a single tear welling up in his eye... Even when that son of a gun cries he's a bad ass.

Springfield Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I like Bruce Willis but Will Smith is a far better actor. It doesn't take much to do "badass" roles but it takes a whole lot of talent to do what Will Smith has done over his entire career. I'll take Will Smith.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Willis made "Color of Night." For some reason, that makes him a hero in my book. I like to judge actors based on how watchable they make a bad movie. Willis has made 156 lousy movies. But, he is strangely entertaining in most of them. When Will Smith makes a bad movie, it's often his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, they chose to film all of them. (Actually, the reason is obvious: Willis' ego). That movie is one script re-write, one change in casting, and one good editor away from being somewhat entertaining. Though, it would still likely be terrible.

Thanos Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This is a hard one. I picked Will only because at times Bruce tends to sleepwalk thru films with a snarky attitude. Problem with Mr. Smith is that he's getting very close to Tom Cruise territory where you see Will Smith and not the character. What I love about Bruce Willis is that he's not afraid of taking chances or being part of an ensemble. "Planet Terror" and "Sin City" come to mind. Will Smith have projects built around his persona, but I think in time "Ali" may garner more credit than when it first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRNY4ZRNY Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I was interested in seeing the poll results. Right now 32 to 32. Thats a little crazy. With 7 saying both are overrated. I really think these 2 actors are very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
