    It's a tough question. The pool is pretty deep nowadays and anybody even slightly subpar gets ragged on incessently now.

    A part of me likes both Ben Affleck and George Clooney, but I also see them constantly (especially Clooney) getting accolades that should rightfully be going to other actors. Of course Affleck went through a spell where everybody hated him, but in his recent Renaissance I think he's been raised to a bit of a higher pedestal acting wise, then is necessary. He's still pretty average, he's just picking better material now.

    It's definitely Ben Affleck. He is average. Clooney has more range IMO.

    If anything he's under-rated. He's pretty much exceeded all expectations of what people thought he was capable of. I figured he was the next Paul Walker. He's much, much better then that. I thought he was excellent in "Foxcatcher".

    After his performance in Foxcatcher, I don't think Tatum is any longer below average. He's now average/mediocre, but he's not a terrible actor anymore. There's worse actors than Tatum, like that God forsaken Robert Pattinson guy from The Twilight movies.

    Yeah, beat me to it. Tatum isn't that bad anymore.

    Much better than Paul Walker. The narrative on Paul Walker is so much different now cause he's dead, but fuck it! He was a HORRIBLE fucking actor!

    I thought Tatum became overrated after Foxcatcher. He didn't completely suck as many expected, and thus many started to think he is actually a good actor which he isn't

    I had this conversation with a couple of friends the other night - does anyone think he's a great actor? I've never spoken to them. Maybe Boss but we already know Boss is crazy.

    Anyone else think that Bradley Cooper, while pretty good, gets overrated quite a bit?

    Maybe I'm still thinking of him somehow getting a Best Actor nomination for American Sniper over Jake Gyleenhaal for Nightcrawler.

    Yes, I think Cooper is overrated. Good actor, but overrated. He was excellent in Silver Linings Playbook, but just mehhhh in American Sniper.
