I know taste and opinions are subjective

But my subjective opinion is that a lot of y'all have awful taste

im not a fan of historical dramas, which seems to be his go to genre...

i can only say ive seen him in GoNY, but he was very good...
 
A lot of you guys are going the my favorite, who entertains me, famous blockbuster actors. You're not gonna find a lot of the easy go to action, thriller, criminal, specific personality movies and roles from him.

DDL is a different breed. His talent and skill is unparalleled.
 
Dudes resume is spotless

is he the GOAT?
Nah.

No superhero movie roles.

Not a single Star Wars movie.

Not a single movie where he enters a room with two guns, shoots 20 other dudes dead while doing acrobatic maneuvres, then leaves without a scratch like a bawse.
