[@JessicaChastainFan]

Don't bullshit yourself. Colin is incredibly hit or miss with his performances. He's the actor that usually stars alongside someone better than him in execution and craft. For example, in Miss Julie and Ava, Colin was completely outshined by Jessica Chastain. Most recently in The Batman, even the most basic performances of the cast stood out more than his (and Matt's) bland rendition of The Penguin. He's a bit like the Triple H of cinema; just occupying space with bigger, more skilled stars.

[@ozymandiasnullifidian5590]

The make-up in films can be arduous and long... I watched a few actors that also talked about hours spent with those make-up artists. One of more interesting was with John Hurt who was talking about the Alien, about hours spent on that table where the alien is bursting from his chest... But, he was a classically trained thespian, he had no problem lying there for hours for making that legendary scene.

The problem with Colin is he has made way to many films where the movie sucks, but he is great in it,often because he just wants to work with the Hollywood legend who happens to be attached, such as "the Recruit" or "Solace" where he traded poetry with Anthony Hopkins. It was terrible, but the scenes where they were together were gold!
