mekaprime: No I don't agree with you, I believe if Scott works with a good director (a Steven Spielberg or someone of that caliber) he will be made to polish his act, Yes Scott may not be a natural but he has potential, the reason why I mention Dare Devil and Batman is because these are comic characters that are EXTREMELY good martial artist. Scott will chew up Christian Bale and Ben Affleck when it comes to performing martial art stunts. Something you want to see in Dare Devil or Batman. It's not only about enhanced suits and grappling hooks it should also be about executing martial arts skills "effortlessly". As for Jai white, I thought Spawn was a great movie as of the 90s. But you should watch "TYSON" the life of Mike Tyson, you will be blown away, to even think this was a very young Jai White that put up such a performance shows he is top actor. Don't forget Universal Soldiers 2. The problem I think with these kind of actors is the same kind of problem Steven Segal has, and thats being the lead character. In terms of acting, if Ronda Rousey that's is a professional MMA fighter can put such a beautiful performance in Fast and Furious 8, I don't see how Scott and Jai can't live up to expectation. |

mekaprime: You nailed it. Adkins doesn't deserve such iconic roles. He's extremely lacking to be a main eventer in a blockbuster. He's a fairly decent martial artist, but doesn't have the screen charisma/hype or acting depth to go along with it. He will definitely flop. He would work better as a stunt double (because he tends to fight like Batman), rather than the main act. Concurred again on Jai White. Decent martial artist but terrible actor with little to no screed presence. He's getting old which makes it worse. That said, Triple Threat seems like it's gonna be a blast. It's the kind of movie you don't watch for the plot alone, but also for the visual eye candy. Methinks it's gonna be a festival of mixed-martial arts, and OTT blood-and-gore. I certainly have no problem with that. Even though I rarely watch movies nowadays, I'd go out of my way to see this one. I have a feeling it's gonna be worth it. 1 Like |

Beorn: Maybe you should. It's obvious from the trailer the film is going to focus mainly on MMA, rather than plots and characterizations. Scot Adkins is gonna shine in this, cuz that's the kind of film he's good at. Besides, he's not even the main act, he's more of supporting, a side character. Also, the film has mix-martial art veterans like Uko Uwais (The Raid), Tony Jaa(Ong-Bak), and Tiger Chen (Matrix Reloaded), and retired UFC middle-weight champion, Micheal Bisping to more than even things out. It's gonna be a blast, I'm sure. 1 Like |

JeromeBlack: He has managed to carve out a decent movie career doing only B-movies. It's what he's good at, and that's never gonna change. |

KoiceReloaded: I agree. But you never know. the guy might get lucky and land one big action movie. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 7:32am On Mar 27, 2019 |
JeromeBlack: It's theoretically possible, I guess, but I feel his limited acting range will always get in the way. I mean, this is the same guy that couldn't land a Batman gig he auditioned for solely because he couldn't channel real emotion in his voice acting, and ended up coming off as cheesy in his audition video. He would have been the perfect Batman if Batman is mute and a robot, but Batty talks, and shows varying degrees of emotion depending on the circumstance, and these are where Adkins sucks as an actor. 1 Like |

pryme:Yes Batman & Daredevil are comic characters, but it isn't all about stunt for both characters. Scott Adkins might be good in stunt, (your opinion though), The problem here is that Scott Adkins is less an actor & more of a stunts coordinator or performer, just like my boss koicereloaded said, & I quote "He would work better as a stunt double (because he tends to fight like Batman), rather than the main act". Playing Batman, yes but becoming Bruce Wayne, very very terrible idea. To take up Waynes' character, one has to take certain factors other than martial arts into consideration, like that ability to display a traumatic, crestfallen & brooding, personality, thus, in my opinion cannot be portrayed by Adkins. Dude only does well in stunt roles, the way he shared the role of Deadpool in X-Men:Origins with Ryan Reynolds. The sad truth is that even a combined team of the very best directors, can't help Adkins acting career, because as regards talent, you can't develop what you don't have, & since you don't have it, it can never come of as natural rather it becomes forced. If I were him, I would simply pay more attention to developing my Martial arts skills. Undisputed 2, which catapulted him to fame, did so because he played the antagonist, for which he was relatively well-suited for, He was brutal, egotistical, and seemingly incapable of empathy. And also, the movie was largely watched either by action movie lovers or bored people on Friday Nights.(Disregard the later, it was meant to be a joke). As for Steven Segeal abeg no just reason that guy matter for here. Coupled with the fact that he has never been beaten in any of his movies, I see his martial art skills as godlike(all pun intended). Dude sits at a spot & can take up to 15-20 people in a single combat, defeating & most times killing all of them while still seated. Even as a minor character, I don't think he'll fare any better, left to me, let him just quit acting. 1 Like |

mekaprime: Well I won't write anyone off in the movie industry, in Arnold Schwarzenegger's earlier movies he was something like Scott Adkins, very stiff and not fluid, worse he had a very thick accent. But now he is one of the all time greats in his own way. Like I said, it all depends on who Scott is working with. Acting is something you learn and adjust to as the case maybe, Harrison Ford was working in movie set like a carpenter before he went for his first movie, he was not born an actor. There is nothing too difficult in playing Bruce Wayne, Batman is a Dark, Souless character, that wears a mask. The likes of Jason Statham are now having more matured movie project just because of who he choose to work with. And in my opinion he is in the same class with Scott when it comes to acting. But as for Batman Ben Affleck has no business being there, I would prefer a Scott Adkins. Batman is always wearing a mask in most part of the movie so this should be an easy project for Scott. Batman is suppose to be an iconic character, but that changed when DCEU brought in Ben Affleck to play Batman. So I will help promote their low standards by giving Scott Adkins a chance. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by mekaprime: 11:10am On Mar 27, 2019 |
pryme:In as much as I hold Ben Affleck shoulder high as regards making & directing good movies, he's not my best Batman/Bruce Wayne cast, for me, its Christian Bale. Let's not prolong matters here because our argument/discussions changes nothing, let just agree to disagree & watch to see how events unfold for Scott Adkins career. |

mekaprime: Oh I forgot, have you watched The Chinese Salesman (I think that's the name) the was Mike Tyson and Steven Segal in that movie, Damn.. For the first time before my very eyes STEVEN SEGAL COLLECTED A HUMILIATING ASS WHOOPING from Mike Tyson. The movie is wacky but that fight scene between Mike Tyson and Segal was priceless. You can look up just the fight scene on YouTube. |

3RNEST: Very funny movie. Imagine if the internet exited that way. The flaw in the movie is the programs shouldn't be a able to live inside the power extension box. It's a none storage media nor is it transport path to any intra connection |
