He plays a certain role very well - the moody, pouty, teenager that’s grappling with coming to his own. But beyond that, he doesn’t have much of a range, and tends to do too much when the director doesn’t rein him in. I think he’s talented, but not worthy of all the overt thirstiness that Film Twitter bestows on him.
I don’t know much of his story and growing up so I’m not gonna comment on that but I didn’t really like him in dune. Just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason
Yea it wasn’t until someone wrote that he was the weakest part of the movie that I realised I basically felt the same way. Every actor fills their role in that film (I think Bardem as Stilgar is my favourite) but there’s something not quite there in his performance. To be fair it’s probably a hard role to cast for. But yea, in going to see part 2, his acting isn’t what I’m looking forward to, and that is honestly a bit of a shame. But you know, maybe that’s Paul, maybe you don’t really see him … I’m wondering if there are some quotes to back this up now.
I didn’t hate his portrayal, not at all actually. A more accurate statement would be that it felt, to me, to be a weak point of the film.
I agree with you, generally, it’s just for me there was a hollowness there. But I can totally see his performance working very well for others. I’m definitely looking forward to part 2!!
I’m already sick of this kid. He’s soulless. He was raised from birth to be an actor and it shows in his lack of humanity
Yeesh that’s harsh. I think he’s quite talented. I’ll take him over yet another nepobaby.

I completely disagree.
I dont know what i was looking for in Paul Atreides charactet but i cant imagine a more fitting person to play him.
Moody awkward, young and alittle entitled. Just like a 16 year old who is to inherit a whole planet.
