Tom Holland is not a good actor.

Title says it all really. Before I recently watched the entire MCU, I've seen the dude in interviews, panel shows, news, etc., and I was under the impression he was a highlight.

He's not believable, I think he's there far more for his looks than anything else. He can fake an accent, as can I, beyond that, he's not convincing.

Maybe Marvel isn't the best place to see acting credentials, I'd personally disagree, but I'm open to recommendations that'll change my opinion.

Is it actually not unpopular?

Forgive me, his extraordinary popularity have me the exact opposite suggestion

Yeah but that's just the opinion of one director not to mention a Netflix director that I've never even heard of I have seen that Netflix movie though and Holland wasn't bad but his acting wasn't that good either. He's an average actor the majority of people outside of Marvel fanboys will definitely tell you that he's not a good actor.

Tbf mate, it's the opinion of one person that has one of the biggest reaches in the field.

Have a nice day

He's a lot like Michael Cera. His main thing will be playing awkward young guy type characters.

Michael Cera high on blow and getting his soul smacked out of him by Rihanna is a timeless cinematic moment.

What does he get smacked by Rihanna in? I feel like I need to see this mystery madness.

Thank you! I must have just forgotten that bit.

That and Scott Pilgrim are my favorite things he's ever done

CookingAStewOP•

Yeah, like he seems like he'd be fantastic at playing someone close to himself.

Which isn't exactly acting

A lot of actors do that though. Ryan reynolds plays the same guy in every movie.

CookingAStewOP•

And I don't consider that good acting...

Raze7186•

It may not be but the idea is to be entertaining. And for a lot of people it is. I try not to overthink it.

Watch other movies with him, he is very talented. Going to be huge in 5-10 years. If the fame doesn’t fuck him up.

That's why I asked for recommendations?

He's an action movie actor at best. Schwarzenegger also never won any awards for dramatic roles. I doubt TH will either. He's the kind of guy who has 1 character that they'll keep reusing in countless action movies.

Watch his fucking movies outside of the MCU. He's filming a TV series at the moment about a DID sufferer. He has been cast as Fred astair the dude was on stage as Billy elliot in the west end.
