the better actor....

who do you think is the better actor...al pachino.... or robert de niro???? its a close one in my eyes but i like pachino a lil better. though i love them both.

both of em is good, but Pacino got it, in my opinion, but the best actor to me is either (Heath Leg"END", Nicolas cage,will smith)

stick to theese two

Then i'd have to go with, al pacino, great actor.

i liek both though, (sorry for thread-jacking)

I like De Niro better. He's shown more range. Al is more or less type cast into gangster-ish action drama's.

its a tuff one i know... but when they get togather it makes for a great movie....da godafther.......heat......and the newone that just came out..... i love them both but i gotta give it more to pachino. only movie i ddnt like from pachino was scent of a women. de niro made a few films i dont like

pacino every day and its not because of scarface tho its awesome i think its his body of work devils advocate is in my top 10 films of all time godfather, donnie brasco, heat, dog day afternoon.

de niro went so far downhill in the past ten years analyze this n that and meet the fockers etc what a pile.... but he has some good works casino good fellas cape fear but i think pacino takes it.

i watched the cop action one they both did a while back, cant remember the name but it was fair to middling really, neither of them was excellent. righteous kill it was.

righteous kill was a great flick!!!! it made you think.. its one of those movies you just cant predict. they both snapped off on the godfather!!!

and scareface is a sick ass movie to this day!!! i just saw devils advocate late last night.

devils advocate is amazing, pacino plays the devil so well.

There's this beautiful girl just fucked me forty ways from Sunday... we're done, she's walking to the bathroom, she's trying to walk, she turns... she looks... it's me. Not the Trojan army just fucked her. Little ol' me. She has this look on her face like: "How the hell did that happen?"

i didnt get the buzz from righteous kill tbh it was a bit predictable

not too me i thought de niro was the killer

haha well it was a 50/50 eh! i guess it was alright i think i disliked it for the fact it had 50p in it as some fake ass gangster

yeah fiddy cant act for shit.....or duck down when people are shooing at him too apparently. lmao

They are both greatly overated. They are decent - but there are much better actors.

Of the two I would say I like DiNiro better.

both overrated?????? lmao now thats just nonsense. name 2 better actors????

Everytime I see DeNiro or Pacino I see them - not the character they are playing. Their persona is bigger than their acting abilities. Their best work is decades old. Watch "I am Sam" if you want to see AMAZING acting (Penn got 4 nominations for that role - he got robbed on this role).

Laughing at Edward Norton? Really? He has been nominated as best actor in the majority of his work. Including best actor, best supporting actor, most promising actor... Sure he recently has recently taken some "paydays," but his work speaks for itself.

Sean Penn won the Acadamy Award for Best Actor this past year (winning against particulary stiff competition). Laugh at that... He had 19 Nominations for Best Actor in 2008 alone and he won 11 of those!!! He was great in I am Sam and Milk.

Hopkins is a stud. Meet Joe Black, The Worlds Fastest Indian, Silence of the Lambs are my favorites.

You don't like Daniel Day Lewis? Talk about range. Ghandi, The Last of the Mohicans, In the name of the Father, Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood.

Emile Hirsch is a great young actor with a ton of upside. He was great in Alpha Dog, Into the Wild, and Milk.

Rightous Kill was terrible. Sounds like you are the phonebook guy.

The film has received negative to mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 21% of critics gave positive reviews based on 132 reviews.[4] Metacritic gave the film a 36/100 approval rating based 27 reviews.[5]

The Times included Righteous Kill on its 100 Worst Films of 2008 list.

Keith Phipps of The Onion's A.V. Club said, "The novelty of watching De Niro and Pacino team up wears off pretty quickly, [with them] trudging through a thriller that would have felt warmed over in 1988. Director Jon Avnet doesn't offer much compensation for the absent suspense."[6]

James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film two stars (out of four), saying: "This isn't just generic material; it's generic material with a dumb ending, and the director is a journeyman, not a craftsman. ... Its failure to live up to even modest expectations is a blow. There's nothing righteous to be found here."[7]

Ken Fox of TV Guide also gave Righteous Kill a score of two stars out of four, saying: "The entire movie is one big build-up to a twist that, while not exactly cheating, plays an awfully cheap trick. To get there, writer Russel Gewirtz and director John Avnet sacrifice mystery, suspense, sensible editing and everything else one expects to find in a police thriller just to keep the audience off-guard. It's not worth it, and the first real pairing of De Niro and Pacino is utterly wasted."[8] (The two actors had co-starred in The Godfather, Part II without appearing on screen together and in Heat, sharing the screen in just two scenes.)

Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying: "By the time the movie reaches its protracted conclusion, it feels like a slog. Pacino has a few funny lines, as does Leguizamo, but not nearly enough to save the film from collapsing under the weight of its own self-righteous tedium."[9]

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave Righteous Kill one star out of four, saying: "Some people think Robert De Niro and Al Pacino would be a kick to watch just reading a phone book. Well, bring on that phone book. Righteous Kill, a.k.a. The Al and Bob Show, is a cop flick with all the drama of Law and Order: AARP."[10]

wow i cant beleave you guys!!!! diffren strokes fr diffrent folks i guess. icant beleave you guys are on sean penns nutts like this have you not seen the movie colors???? terrible!!!!
