Has Edward Norton made a bad movie

[walshknilb281]

I just watched Primal Fear for the first time and as usual Norton puts on a stellar performance. I enjoy Fight Club and American History X like everybody, but I feel The Score was very underrated and he was sick in that too. Give me some more good Norton movies

[loveisdead]

Red Dragon. I think that's my favorite in the Hannibal series.

[gilatron5000]

A lot of people didn't like Death To Smoochy(i did).

And didn't he make a terrible movie with Salma Hayek?

[drudo182]

Down in the Valley got so absurd in it's final thirty minutes.

Ruined the entire movie for me.

[ThexQuietxCull]

Italian Job? that wasn;t too good

[anamericangod]

25th Hour was alright....I think...

[drudo182]

25th Hour was great I thought. It has one of my favorite endings for a movie.

[Jessooker]

He's my favorite actor. I haven't been disappointed in anything he's done.

[Jessooker]

he had a cameo in Frida, but I really like that movie.

Death to Smoochy is great.

[walshknilb281]

yea i wasn't feelin that one, i didnt like the role he played not Norton esque but the guy is badass did anyone else like the score

[Jessooker]

yea i wasn't feelin that one, i didnt like the role he played not Norton esque but the guy is badass did anyone else like the score

Norton didn't even want to be in it, but he just took it to finish off a 3 picture contract with the studio.

[drudo182]

Just looked at his filmography and I wasn't a fan of The Illusionist at all. I think it's probably because The Prestige owned it so hard from the beginning that it just couldn't even stand on it's own feet.

So just Down in the Valley and The Illusionist for me.

I am pumped for Incredible Hulk. I bet the movie ends up being a smash.

[Jessooker]

Rounders is great. Him and Matt Damon...can't go wrong there.

yea i know i've been lookin at his IMDB i just wanted to make a thread on Norton. In my apartment sometimes we pick actors whos movies we watch all week and this week its Norton and every flick is just sick

[walshknilb281]

im thinkin about pickin that up at the rental place tommorow.

[drudo182]

I just went to the Hulk page and Robert Downey Jr. is in this one too as Tony Stark. That's so awesome. I wonder how big his part is in this film.

[loveisdead]

I forgot all about Rounders. I used to watch that movie all the time a few years ago.

[Jessooker]

One of the most underrated actors ever.

[drudo182]

I want to watch Keeping the Faith sometime. Been forever.

[Jessooker]

I want to watch Keeping the Faith sometime. Been forever.

I really enjoyed that movie.

[drudo182]

One of the most underrated actors ever.

I don't know about that... I think he's pretty rated. Ha.

And the only thing that worries me about the new Hulk movie is Liv Tyler. Just not a fan of her.

[popdisaster00]

Norton is the fucking man.

[Jessooker]

I don't know about that... I think he's pretty rated. Ha.

And the only thing that worries me about the new Hulk movie is Liv Tyler. Just not a fan of her.


yeah she bothers me. i think she's pretty boring.

[gilatron5000]

I am pumped for Incredible Hulk. I bet the movie ends up being a smash.Mmm...the opposite for me. I couldn't stand The Prestige one bit.

he had a cameo in Frida, but I really like that movie.

Death to Smoochy is great.ah. I didn't know he was in Frida. I never saw it. I think I'm confusing him with Matthew Perry at the moment.

[popdisaster00]

Edward Norton says he took every penny he made from Red Dragon (2002) to finance this film. (in reference to 25th hour)

Classy

[CubbyNick42]

Red Dragon. I think that's my favorite in the Hannibal series.
Silence of the Lambs still owns it but Red Dragon's awfully underrated.

[Adrian Villagomez]

25th Hour was great I thought. It has one of my favorite endings for a movie.About the ending: His dad drives him away from the prison? He doesn't go back? Or is there a more open ending (he may or may not go back)? I can't recall exactly how it ended.

He's my favorite actor. I haven't been disappointed in anything he's done.What's your avatar?

[Jessooker]

yeah he plays Rockefeller. haha Matthew Perry.

[loveisdead]

Silence of the Lambs still owns it but Red Dragon's awfully underrated.
Yeah, I don't know which ending caught me farther off guard. I think Silence of the Lambs will always go down as the best of the series because of how classic it has become, but I really do love Red Dragon.

[notoaststereo]

25th Hour is one of my favorite movies.

[Jessooker]

About the ending: His dad drives him away from the prison? He doesn't go back? Or is there a more open ending (he may or may not go back)? I can't recall exactly how it ended.

What's your avatar?

james mcavoy in atonement.

[walshknilb281]

Norton seems to like playin duel personas

[drudo182]

His father is telling the story of could happen if he just doesn't go to the jail and hides away and so it goes through all of that then cuts back to them in the car still on their way to the jail.

I love the ending dialogue that Brian Cox gives.

"And maybe one day, years from now, long after I'm dead and gone, reunited with your dear mother, you gather your whole family together and tell them the truth, who you are, where you come from. You tell them the whole story. And then you ask them if they know how lucky they are to be there."

spoiler! haha.

I need to watch 25th Hour again soon. This is absolutely one of the best scenes ever. I have to read scripts for screenwriting and I read this one and it didn't have the Fuck You Montage in it. Weird.

"Slavery ended one hundred and thirty-seven years ago. Move the fuck on!"

[airik625]

I saw a movie poster of an upcoming movie he is doing with Collin Farrell called Pride and Glory which looks awesome.

[staywhatyouare9]

yeah norton is great.....rounders and american history x are prob in my top 10 all time

and thank you guys for havin the decency to darken the spoilers cause i havent seen 25th hour yet aand woulda sucked to of accidentally read the ending

saw a preview for that when i watched something on dvd. looks like it could be good

so wrong. acting in the illusionist was much much better than in prestige

[DivisionStreet]

I believe that American History X is his best work. His performance is uncanny.

[jwelborn]

the painted veil was very good. edward norton and naomi watts.

[Chris Fallon]

I wasn't a fan of Down In The Valley or Frida but I've enjoyed everything else he's been in.

[Talib Scottie]

I wasn't a fan of the Illusionist, but I think Norton did well in it. I just couldn't maintain interest in that movie.

[Talib Scottie]

so wrong. acting in the illusionist was much much better than in prestige

Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti vs Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman...

yeah, no shit the acting is better, but I feel Prestige was much better in many other areas.

It also had David Bowie.

[drudo182]

No.

Nothing beats Christian Bale, I'm sorry.

[DivisionStreet]

Yeah I think that Christian Bale is definitely up there with Giamatti and Norton. Hugh Jackman not as much, but I still think he is a pretty good actor. I'm pretty stoked for Wolverine actually, especially now that Gambit is in it.

Probably more excited for The Incredible Hulk, though. Norton is gonna tear shit up.

[drudo182]

I love Hugh Jackman and we can't forget that The Prestige has Michael Caine. Caine is amazing as well.

All's I am saying is that I would take a Bale movie over anyone else. That's just me.

[WakingTheMisery]

The Incredible Hulk is going to blow.

[jwelborn]

Between The Prestige and The Illusionist, I will always choose The Illusionist, without a doubt.

[popdisaster00]

Ed rules.

[Talib Scottie]

Meh, I don't think Bale is on Norton and Giamatti's level quite yet. I've enjoyed Bale's movies more but that has more to do with the content in the movies than acting skill.

[walshknilb281]

The Incredible Hulk is going to blow.
yea i wish he wasnt in it

[ThexQuietxCull]

Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti vs Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman...

damn, you had to play the bowie card.

touche, sir

[thedood]

yea i wasn't feelin that one, i didnt like the role he played not Norton esque but the guy is badass did anyone else like the score

loved the score. and fight club is my favorite movie ever. he is going to be great in the new hulk movie too, gonna save that shit from the last awful ang lee movie

[Jessooker]

yea i wasn't feelin that one, i didnt like the role he played not Norton esque but the guy is badass did anyone else like the score

The only reason he did The Italian Job was to end his 3 picture deal with the studio. He actually didn't want it at all.

[Adrian Villagomez]

I don't like the looks of The Italian Job at all.

[Jessooker]

I didn't think it was bad actually. I kind of enjoyed it.

[Adrian Villagomez]

Looks like a cheap "action" movie. With Norton getting punched by Marky Mark. I'll pass.

[TMS2787]

I think the two pictures he did to fulfill his contract with Paramount, The Score and The Italian Job are my least two favorite (and the worst two) Edward Norton movies I've seen but they were still good movies.

[Chris Fallon]

He does such a great job at playing a fucking asshole. He might not see that as a compliment, but it's the truth.
