    He overrated, but you're pretty much guaranteed a decent flick if he's in it.

    I love that you just threw Chris Pratt in there.

    Team America Matt Damon is the best Matt Damon, btw.

    Meh. I never really thought he was all that great. He tries to play really intense characters but I just don’t fully buy it. He is solid and gives effort and usually avoids crappy movies so I’ll give him that.

    His personal dating life is freaking creepy, but so far it’s all legal.

    I buy all of it. I am a Leonardo fan since Gilbert Grape, which is one of the great scripts of all time that doesn't nearly get the respect it deserves. Leo was at the top his game early, and he is still there.

    Chris patt, Ryan Reynolds, Chris evans, the dude from lasso the snl guy are in the same ballpark as Leo acting wise. He’s not touching guys like Daniel day Lewis, Christian bale or Kurt Russell to name a few.

    I like Leo, he`s come along ways from Basketball Diaries and Gilbert Grape. He may not be on the same level as Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise, but I would say he`s a rung or two lower. And Marky Mark has come a long way, I think he has his moments in movies like Sniper and Daddy`s home, I dont think he is a mega star but he`s grown up and does some nice things

    Leo has always seemed like Kobe to me -- good star in his own right, but forever striving and failing to be revered like Michael Jordan.

    Good comparison. Both massively overrated.

    Kurt Russel?

    Um ok?

    I love Kurt but he is not a great actor, he does not have the range.
