Kermode Uncut: My Top Five Will Poulter Films

[@joshuaprice3965]

It's weird how Poulter has become a serious actor without making a huge fuss about it, so many young actors make it out to be a big deal when they transition to serious work but Poulter just went about it by being a good actor. Also he re-tweeted a review I wrote on Detroit so he's pretty great in my books (I already thought he was great beforehand of course)

[@taliaprice1909]

Joshua Price like Shia labeouf

[@skijumpnose]

He was the best thing in We're The Millers

[@jameskirks4332]

I never saw it

[@MrMarkrstev]

I hope he see's this, high praise indeed from Kermode

[@rorybrooks7963]

The only things better than will poulter are will poulter's eyebrows

[@DeltaSpartan141]

Goodbye, Zac Efron Hello, Will Poulter.

[@KathrynChats2much]

Can't believe it's taken me this long to find this video. Will Poulter is and has been my favourite actor for many years now. He steals the show every time. The variety in his performances is outstanding. He does it like no other. I don't think I can choose a favourite

[@justdannyquinn]

I loved Poulter in Detroit. He really surprised me at just how scary and genuinely intimidating he was, despite his relatively young age as an actor. And I really liked Detroit as well, although I couldn't help but think of the Troubles that occurred in Northern Ireland when I watched it.

[@jameskirks4332]

O thank God I'm not the only one who liked him thank you

[@jameskirks4332]

He was great wasn't he I thought I was the only one who liked him in this movie couse of how evil and murderous he was

[@MartinelliFurtado]

Completely agree that Will Poulter was underused in Maze Runner. He is equally so in the Netflix Film 'War Machine', and he is still amazing. Question - is there a better young British actor working today? I certainly can't think of any British actor who is as good at accents as he is.

[@DazBull26]

New drinking game, take a shot every time Mark says Will Poulter.

[@IJMacD]

I counted 29.5 (There was one Poulter without a Will)

[@NekoFever]

Do two for every "I'm alright, Lee Carter!"

[@syphonuk]

Always been a fan of Will, first seeing him as part of the amazing cast of child actors in Channel 4's School of Comedy. Even then, he stood out and it's funny to see him go from being this little boy to this 6'2 adult who is rightly being cast in some great films. He's starting to look a bit like Damian Lewis (another fine British actor) and I hope we see a lot more of him.

[@SuperJazzyApple]

Thank you!! I couldn't remember the name of the show he was in. That show killed me - it was so good! And Will was the best thing about it.

[@jameskirks4332]

I Only liked will poulter in this I didn't like in the revenant and I never saw him in anything else

[@jameskirks4332]

@@SuperJazzyApple better than this

[@rickg8015]

Will could play a young version of Kermode and kill it reviewing himself on his performances..

[@shikaria4291]

Couldn't agree more with what you said about his Detroit performance. Had it been given to any other mainstream Hollywood actor it could have strayed into a cliche, but it didn't, and held the whole film together because of it

[@westhamCAL]

Will Poulter is mesmerising in Detroit, I literally come out in disbelief at how good he was.

[@natalieelliott25]

Will is so talented, not to mention a good, kind soul. I love all of his work. (I'm three years late to this video however, lol)

[@campaignresources]

I just saw Detroit, and Will Poulter is mesmerizing in it. I was even more impressed when I found out he was the dorky fake son in We're the Millers.

[@malloreeboone]

he is SO talented !!! it’s unreal.

[@poozwonger]

Yes - love Will Poulter and was gutted we're never gonna see Hus Pennywise. Loved him in We're The Millers - What Culture flagged him as their top choice for the next Joker and would have to agree.

[@slomas8863]

Will Poulter

[@TheBassHeavy]

Detroit was fantastic and it will take me a while to get over what I watched and the emotions I felt.

[@adamferguson1513]

I've been a fan of Will Poulter since 'School of Comedy', you could see he had real skill not only as a comedian but as an actor, great to see him doing so well!

[@NoWhereMan95]

Wild Bill is a great little film.

[@remaininginlight]

So good. I cry pretty much every time at that ending. Charlie Creed‑Miles just nails it.

[@NoWhereMan95]

Me too! Ending was really powerful. Shame some people seemed to be put of it, cos it looked like a cockney geezer film. It's so much more then that.

[@Arcadia21]

Take a shot every time mark says will poulter and you'll be dead half way through the video

[@burlhorse61]

great comment.lol

[@r4h4al]

Loved the film Detroit and Will was the standout, unbelievable he is English as his American accent was on point. He looks great in those other films too, which I haven't seen.

[@drgitfinger1397]

First time I saw him was on Channel Fours 'School of Comedy', and I'm glad to see that the uncanny talent he showed there has only increased over the years.

[@TheHibbleton]

Yes! I've been such a big fan of his since Rambow/School of Comedy, and every time I've seen him pop up in a major film over the years, it makes me so happy. I was gutted we lost him as Pennywise, but he's incredible in Detroit and I think and hope it's going to be another gateway to even more interesting and unique performances

[@malvanlondon8683]

if Will Poulter won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in Detroit, I wouldn't be surprised.

[@henryjackson2357]

He won't. It's rare for a young ACTOR to win an Oscar before age 30.

[@thanosiwanttheinfinitygem3330]

Wild Bill his most underrated movie he has made no one barely knows him for that role. Seen the movie and it is good.

[@ntube7]

Reminds me to watch Son of Rambow again! He was great in it. He's mastered the transition from Child to adult actor which many cannot do.

[@guysimchony309]

What a delightfully random video topic!

[@nuke2625]

He has a great personality.

[@burlhorse61]

have to check out all these will poulter movies-good actor

[@charliebadger]

I've kept my eye on him ever since that TV comedy sketch show he was in 'School of comedy' @2019, Kids pretending to be adults. Brilliant series, most people missed. I knew he was great then. :)

[@ChroniclesOfCallum]

Having been hugely impressed by Poulter since he was in School Of Comedy (stealing every sketch he was in) I couldn't be happier that he's breaking into big box office roles. There are few actors that will make me want to see a film purely because they are in it, and almost none as young as he is, but I can't wait to enjoy the long career he has ahead of him.

[@uncontroversial]

He was far and away the best thing in the whole Narnia series. Can't fault this list tho: I'd forgotten Son of Rambow!

[@shanemalone7337]

Shout out to those who remember how good he was in School Of Comedy

[@alextownsend1273]

I seriously don't get the hate for Detroit. Detroit imo is a masterpiece

[@erickr1513]

Like if you came back after you saw he was casted as Adam Warlock

[@bebaguette766]

Tom Hardy stole the Revenant, but Poulter is always great. Fantastic young actor.

[@jonathansimmonds3758]

He was practically the only redeeming factor in 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' in my opinion.

[@falafelfilms1]

This is TV, not film - but Will was always sensational in his 'School of Comedy' sketches. He easily outshone all the other kids in the show.

[@ganganthefatman1382]

Puolter is a way better actor than Jared Leto and would be much, MUCH better at playing the joker than Leto has.

[@foxybingo1112]

RAIDERS58th Am I the only one who thinks Ray Wise would be a great Joker?

[@DavidJoneswhynotgoglobal]

Favourite Will Poulter movie has to be Son of Rambow. When I first saw it I was knocked out by someone that young being that good. Also - and this may seem like a strange one - I was impressed by what he did in Plastic, a British heist movie that was a truly loathsome pile of junk. Someone as talented as Poulter must have realised pretty early on that this was going to turn out badly but he still delivered nuanced, committed work. Every aspect of that movie stank with the single exception of his performance. Even when he's stranded in a terrible film he's still professional and watchable.

[@dondeo3579]

The MCU never gave DC a chance to have a new and better Joker.

[@TheSt1092]

Will Poulter was the best thing about Voyage of the Dawn Treader by some margin . Most of the other things in it were rubbish including retrofitted use of 3D.

[@TheJustlove34]

Okay but I am really in love with Will though

[@waiyee_lxd]

Not a film but... He was awesome in School of Comedy!

[@CindyBear55]

I forgot about Wild Bill! I remember watching it after seeing him on School of Comedy and thinking he looked so old!!

[@iainjames03]

I remember seeing "School of Comedy" back on E4 and thinking he was head and shoulders above the other kids as a comedic actor with a real screen presence, rather like Simon Pegg in his pre-Spaced sketch show days. Will Poulter for Joker!

[@rbdriftin]

I really want to see Detroit but my local multiplex isn't show it for some odd reason.

[@cookbrooke]

Will Poulter’s eyebrows could’ve sliced a griever in half

[@distilledwill]

My favourite WIll Poulter performance is from "School of Comedy" which was a sketch comedy show on Channel 4. Of particular note: His and Beth Rylance's "Saffa's" two south african security guards, worth a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6eQgmesirSafM0

[@simonsaysrewind]

Where there's a Will there's a way 🎥

[@mfc9328]

i wish Cary Fukunaga was able to make the It movie with Will Poulter such a shame

[@flodworks6942]

Poulter does an unbelievably good working class Dublin accent in Glassland. A very difficult accent for actors to master. He put his co-star Jack Reynor, a dubliner himself, to shame.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

He was the best performance in The Revenant for me

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Rob Robberson Yeah he was also outstanding. That scene they both have after leaving Leo is one of the best in the film.

[@PauLtus_B]

Certainly the most likable one.

[@upsetdasetup5299]

It's all subjective of course but that's absolute nonsense,Hardy had a good enough performance and i'm a fan but it wasn't amongst his best performances in film..As for Hardy's character being complex he was a self explanatory villain of the movie,a halfwit could figure that out after the opening scene,nothing remotely complex about his character whatsoever.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

UpSet DaSetup I guess but he was also a very strong presence throughout the film. Hardy's performance was filled with subtleties like his speaking voice or maneurisms that made the character very interesting to me.

[@PauLtus_B]

+UpSet DaSetup I wish people would stop claiming everything is subjective.

[@bennoclassico]

How many times did he say "Will Poulter" in this video?

Wait will polter is BRITISH!!!

[@joejones4582]

Yup, he's from Hammersmith in London.

[@PVRGE7]

He could literally play as SID in Toy Story if they ever make a real life movie of Toy Story. All he need is retainers or braces in his mouth with the black shirt sid had on and hes good to go lol

[@samspade5824]

Never heard of him.

[@patrickraftery9860]

Can remind me in Detroit as a young Robert De Niro with that creepy grin

Why not put him in the Joker role

I like the guy but the eyebrow always make me go "Oh it's that actor with an eyebrow!" which kinda of takes you out of the movie.

[@gabriol110]

Top 5 films....not much to choose from, he's only made 11 movies.

[@spinakker14]

As the honest trailer guy said: what's up with the eyebrows??!

[@stepheningermany]

Top Five Will Poulter Films???? Has he actually been in more than 5?

[@supergangsterish1234]

wild bill was a bad film, preposterous plot

[@amcaesar]

Poulter is great, but I wish he wasn't hired to play so many Americans with unconvincing accents.

[@Scott-nl1ky]

Plastic top film

[@kevinheaney9177]

I completely disagree with 'if you see him in 5 films he looks different every time'. Haven't seen Detroit yet but his Will Poulter baby face looks much too young for the role

[@MattCipolla]

Detroit was pure exploitation, and borderline offensive at that.

[@crabapples1995]

Is this a joke? This kids in nothing of importance.

[@crabapples1995]

Lizzie Booth hah fine.

Couldn't agree more with what you said about his Detroit performance. Had it been given to any other mainstream Hollywood actor it could have strayed into a cliche, but it didn't, and held the whole film together because of it
