I was thinking about the current and the previous Transformers movies, and I was wondering what impact Mark Wahlberg might have had on those films.
I personally have mixed feelings about Mark Wahlberg where on one hand I know that he had a pretty dark past, but then on the other hand, I can kind of take him or leave him in a movie role. Also, in the 2001 campy Tim Burton version of Planet of The Apes, which I liked, I thought that he was alright in that movie, which grossed $180,011,740 domestically. Although, adjusted for inflation it grossed $281,135,300, which is better than the current POTA movies are doing:
(and which I would have liked to have seen the sequel because I loved the cliffhanger ). But the studios decided that it didn't make enough money and discontinued the franchise at that time. Therefore, go figure.
Also, his movies really haven't grossed that much:
with the exception of The Perfect Storm(which was really a George Clooney vehicle), Planet of the Apes (2001), and Transformers: Age of Extinction(which I think rode the wave of the Transformers franchise). Plus, there's also Ted, which was actually a Mark Wahlberg vehicle(if you don't count the teddy bear).
But Mark Wahlberg either has a very good agent... or someone in Hollywood really wants to see him succeed. But what are you thoughts about Mark Wahlberg?
I think the "Lovely Bones" is one of the greatest father-daughter movies ever made. He played the father of a 14 year old girl who had been murdered. The story is told by the narration of the deceased daughter as a "spirit in heaven". This scene with Wahlberg is the best.
Not familiar with his early work as rapper but I have seen many of the movies he has done and can appreciate him as an actor and he seems like quite a decent guy.

Mark Walburg needs to learn to act. He plays every roll the exact same way.
