Good acting is good acting weather you enjoy the genre or not. If you're judging Brad Pitt based on movies that you don't like maybe that's the problem. You're the one making the accusation that he's only liked by mostly woman and due to his looks and not his acting ability. Turns out you're not a fan of the types of movies he makes. What am I to think of you? Maybe you don't belong in this conversation at all, and I question why you are.

I agree his looks takes a lot away from the fact he is a great actor and he is btw in snatch as a gypsy he was spot on .

He's very popular in the uk even amongst men for the above reason. Same with Johnny depp

My absolute favorite role of his is definitely in Snatch. That movie is a true gem.

Yes, he was very good in snatch, 12 monkeys, interview with a vampire, and inglorious bastards. He was pretty good in Benjamin button and moneyball.

He's a good actor, but not a great one. He just was made a star with his combination of looks and acting ability. If he was ugly he would not have made it as a character actor.

Also meet joe black was a good one........ His jamacian accent of course

Granted he's not a de Niro, Pacino or Nicholson I'll grant you but he still holds his own

My favourite actor at the moment is Tom hardy I think he's on the path to greatness

No. What I am "judging" is Brad's lack of ability to fully rid himself of himself. Whatever good or crap film he's in, if you are aware that it's Brad all the way through it, and don't lose that it's Brad Pitt, the actor, then he has failed.

If you knew anything about acting, we would not be having this conversation. Brad is on the level of many of his peers: Keanu, Matthew, Tom, and many more!

Brad Pitt is mostly looks. His movies are fine, at least they are not bad movies. I was never really in love with his looks though. I don't think he is as attractive as people think. He looks a little like Enrique Iglesias.

Keanu Reeves was very attractive but probably a worse actor.
