Thoughts on Denzel Washington?

I also agree in that I think he got a few more oscar worthy roles that he will land in the future.

I re-watched The Book Of Eli last night and Denzels performance in it was supurb IMO

one of my fav actors.

This. Plus, seriously talented. I can't recall a single instance where he failed to deliver for me.

This is so true

just the passion he puts into all of his roles is fantastic. I'm watching Remember the Titans right now and he really put his all into even a movie like this.

I watched Glory a few days ago and once again I saw that Denzel Washington put everything he had into the role. Another great performance from him.

No doubt. He's one of the top notch of Hollywood. Denzel's best IMO:

Philadelphia, Training Day, and American Gangster

I think he is a very good actor. Some of my favorite roles he has done is Remember The Titans, Man On Fire, and Training Day.

It's weird that while I am perhaps the biggest Denzel Washington fan here, I actually believe that Training Day is a fairly overrated movie. I think Denzel has had much better performances (Hurricane, American Gangster, Glory, Man on Fire, etc.) that went unnoticed (though he did win for Glory).

I think he's a gifted actor, though I'm honestly not that familiar with his work. He tends to star in movies that I have little or no interest in seeing.

I thought he was particularly great in Glory and Philadelphia.

I also think one of the reasons I enjoyed Training Day was the interaction between Washington and Ethan Hawke. I think there chemistry on screen was amazing in this film.

Strangely enough, I haven't seen Philadelphia yet.

Sometimes I feel like Training Day tried a little too hard to be a bit too badass, but that's just me perhaps.

Denzel's character at times in the movie was a bit over the top.

I don't really think it was Denzel's fault, I'd rather blame it on the script at times. Denzel did his job.

Very true as an actor you do have some liberties, but for the most part you follow the script and the story.

You need to do something about that.

I agree with that. Philadelphia was a good movie.

I thought he was great in The Book of Eli. He's a terrific actor.

I haven't seen it either. Is it one of those movies where I shouldn't know the plot of the film ahead of time?
