Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Jim Carrey Performances" video.

  1. Jim Carrey is definitely one of the greatest yet most underrated dramatic actors of his generation. The fact that he has not received a single Oscar nomination is ridiculous Screw his comedy films, if you really want to see his acting skills, then check out: - "Doing Time on Maple Drive" - "The Truman Show" - "Man on the Moon" - "The Majestic" - "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

  2. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" showed that he is one of the most underrated dramatic actors in Hollywood, and his presence, subtlety, and subtext are amazing in that film

  3. +Abygail Claver Screen time doesn't matter; I still remember him very well in that role

  4. Most people disagree with you when it comes to "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"; it has beautiful scenery and aesthetics, perfect balance between dramatic and "comedic" romance, creative direction and concept, deep story, and one of the most serious performances in Jim Carrey's career

  5. His dramatic roles have generally been more acclaimed though

  6. No, they did Top 10 Moments

  7. amen to that

  8. AlbostyleG it seems like the only reason people didn't like it was because they expected a comedy or a comedy-drama. I liked it very much, but I thought it could have been shortened down a little, and be a little more nuanced in the dramatic mood. Jim Carrey was great though

  9. Then you should check out "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Majestic". He also appeared in a television movie called "Doing Time On Maple Drive" that was very good

  10.  @nsasupporter7557  But no Oscar nods, and he's only received a BAFTA and SAG Award once each (and for one movie each). Plus that Jim Carrey is to most people "the guy who can only make funny faces" despite his amazing acting skills

  11.  @nathangagan4965  REALLY late reply, but no. He didn't. Heck, he's not even been nominated for an Oscar for anything!

  12.  @nsasupporter7557  Well, I wrote my comment 6 years ago, and I was more annoyed by people thinking that he can only make funny faces than I was annoyed by the comedies themselves

  13. a bit like Daniel Day-Lewis as well
    1
  14. It has the worst critical reception though
    1
  15. His comedies (particularly "Ace Ventura" and "The Mask") are too gross-out and immature. His drama films at least have a great story and a serious performance

  16. agreed

  17. No, they did "Top 10 Jim Carrey moments", this is performances
    1
  18. because it's his worst-reviewed movie?

  19. That was "Top 10 Jim Carrey moments"

  20. Not exactly. With top 10 moments, they just select a small part of the film he acted that was funny or generally memorable, for example "the most annoying sound in the world" (Dumb and Dumber) or "the pen is blue" (Liar Liar). It doesn't even matter if the acting was good or not, as long as the moment was funny and memorable With top 10 performances, they look at the entire acting performance in the film, and evaluate the quality of it

  21. The movie was generally panned, and he was nominated for a Razzie
    1
  22. Well, Roger Ebert gave it thumbs down, and it received mixed reviews. I've also seen some other commentators who didn't like the film. As for me, I think the movie is good on its own, but I think it's nowhere as good as "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon", and " Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

  23. More importantly; why hasn't he even been NOMINATED yet?

  24. We're talking about the movie here, not the TV series
