[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1536599, member: 812"] I LOVED [i]Pitch Black[/i]. The opening sequence alone was absolutely shattering (in the theatre, at any rate). And Diesel was great in it, though I thought everyone was pretty good. It was a good stupid monster movie and for what it was, worked great. I enjoyed [i]The Fast and the Furious[/i], too. I was all ready to join the "Vin Diesel Fan Club" -- until I saw [i]XXX[/i]. Which I hated. And now... well, there's lots of cool-looking stuff in [i]CoR[/i], no kidding. And Judy Dench, Colm Feore and Karl Urban ("Caesar! Cupid! Eomer!") all make me want to go. But am I the only one getting a little tired of the whole... Vin Diesel thing? Does anyone else think he's in danger of becoming a chariacture of himself? Eastwood may have been restrained in his physicality, but there's no question his performance are full of emotional range and depth. Just watch [i]A Fistfull of Dollars[/i] to see how far he can go with a limited "facial palette". Far further than Diesel was willing to go in [i]XXX[/i], I'll tell you that. This is a litmus test film for me as far as Diesel goes. I'll DEFINITELY see it, but I want to see him put some chops on the line. I want some power from this guy because I think he's talented, I think he's smart and I think he's got charisma to burn. But is he secure enough, good enough and brave enough to turn in a real performance and make me love him? Dunno yet. I mean "love him" in that platonic, manly way, of course. :D [/QUOTE]
