De Nero's catalog is worlds better. His obsession with Orange Man Bad makes me like him less though. Hes become kind of ridiculous.

Trump supporters film criticism is always great.

Pacino probably had higher highs but I prefer De Niro as an actor. He has a better filmography too. Their range is about equal.

Normally I'd say DeNiro, but after Pacino's stunning performance in Jack and Chill, I must go with him.
"Say hello to my chocolate blend" was pure cinematic genius that still sends a shiver down my spine

I like al Pacinos characters better, he looks a little more like a sinister mobster

pacino just made a lot of bad decisions in his career, he could have been in apocalypse now, star wars, kramer vs kramer, etc.

>DeNiro
he plays the same guy in every movie

>who's the better actor
>culture warriors shit up thread
everythread, everytime

Pacino’s best performances are in the first two Godfather films and Dog Day Afternoon, also his best movies. Weirdly, De Niro’s best performances aren’t really in his best movies. He’s good in Godfather 2 and Goodfellas but not the standout.

Taxi Driver is probably the best performance out of the two of them tho.

Pacino, he has more range and is just a naturally more charismatic and talented actor compared to DeNiro who needs to do a year of autistic research before a role

DeNiro had a better career and was in superior movies though

Pacino. I really don't think De Niro is a great actor. I always found him to be playing the same character in every movie he does. Whether it eb comedy, drama, action - he does the same character, the same mannerisms, the same way of talking. You look at Pacino in the Godfather and Scarface and you can barely recognize him.

De Niro plays himself in every movie.

His demeanor, delivery and style are the same. But to be fair most hollywood actors are the same. Only a few rare actors like DDL and Christian Bale play actual different characters.

I watched Heat, Donnie Brasco and Jackie Brown this month. Pacino. De Niro had the luck of starring in a lot of good movies, he was always plays the same role.

This is what makes him look like a total clown. Same with that "YO LIL DONNIE" guy.

I've seen almost every popular De Niro movie. Show me one in which he doesn't have the same voice, same eyebrow thingy he does, the weird mouth thing that he does. Quite honestly the only movie I've seen of De Niro that he really portrays some acting chops is his role as Vito Corleone in Godfather 2. He was great in that one. But he based that performance on Brando.

In every other movie he always has that "u talkin'' to me?" expression. And no, I do not give a rats ass about his opinion on Zion Don, he just isn't a good actor.

No, they’re not. He has accents for two of them. The delivery for someone like Rupert Pupkin, who won’t shut up, is very different than someone like Travis who is quiet and nervous or Jimmy Conway, who knows that he owns the room before he steps in them.

He doesn’t have the most range ever but this criticism is more a Yea Forums meme than actual reality.

Why the fuck does Pacino have Kramer hair now?

Godfather Part II isn’t even in his top ten. Have you actually seen Mean Streets, Raging Bull, The Deer Hunter, The King of Comedy, Bang The Drum Slowly, The Mission, Brazil?

what are you a faggot? who cares what his hair looks like

Al Pacino is way better, he actually has a great stage career which is where all the greats work

Because Trump totally has to do with whether or not he’s a better actor.

It's a legitimate question. Is he going senile?

>no scent of a woman for Pacino
Confirmed for twelve year old

Pacino in Author Author comes across more genuine than Deniro has in any non-serious roles / down to earth characters. Deniro had some solid comedic roles, but he didn't carry the films. Pacino has.

he seems a lot more lucid than DeNiro these days with his Trump and divorce breakdown

He does this shit in every movie or something similar to that effect. His facial expressions, no matter the character, are always the same. Whenever I watch Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas or even Meet the Fuckers, I do not think "wow, that character is unique", I think "Oh, that's Robert De Niro pretending to play something".

simple question..
why? he looked great and had a very distinguished acting career

They both arent good actors actually, they've just had a couple of good movie roles. I think of the 2, Pacino had more potential and range but De Niro has been in better and more movies.

Pacino's stage background is why he tended to overact in so many roles, especially by the 90's. The Devil's Advocate is downright cartoonish.

Hey, Robert, how's it going?

Al Pakino

He was great in that movie and you don't know shit about acting if you think stage experience is a negative, fuck off

lmao if Deniro supported Drumpf you'd be shitting on him just like Drumpf supporters shit on him for hating Drumpf now. You miserable faggots are exactly the same, but Trump supporters are at least transparent in why they hate De Niro

I’m sorry that your criticism was bullshit, Al.

He started the face thing circa 90. Someone actually wrote an article on it.

>He didn’t do that shit in Taxi Driver or Raging Bull. At all.
he does it in Raging Bull when they are cracking jokes at the club

Compare it to De Niro in nuanced performance in Angel Heart. Pacino comes off like a Looney Tunes character.

My nigga, he was too good on that
youtu.be/V9kQBz9azy8

The face thing/mannerisms? Post a screen shot?

In general, that performance is pretty different from his other gangster roles. Much more viscerally dangerous and angry and scorched earth.

>The Devil's Advocate is downright cartoonish.
Does that make it bad? I really like his performance in that movie.

It's the same face with less wrinkles. He has the same mannerism in every movie he has done except the Godfather. And even there, as well. Right now I can vividly remember that scene where he extorts the landlord in his office. He does the same exact shit.

I mean, obviously LaMotta isn’t a gangster but the way De Niro plays him is different from his other alpha male Italian characters.

De Niro, probably.
But appearing in those horrible Stiller flicks really tarnishes him.

>Pacino comes off like a Looney Tunes character.
It was an intentionally hammy performance because the movie was schlock, it was great

Lol. Okay. It’s not the same face at all.

You’ve made it clear you haven’t actually watched any of his movies. This is always what happens with Yea Forums discusses older actors.

De Niro plays the same character in all his movies. From Mean Streets to Meet the Parents, the same fucking arrogant "Ey wise guy?" Character

theyve both been a joke since heat

Pacino is a beast. One in a million.

Carlito's Way is probably my fav post-Godfather performance for Pacino

they've both appeared in good movies since then you're just a pleb who only watches mafia flicks

De Niro in Taxi Driver vs. Pacino in Godfather/Godfather Part II. Which performance was better?

Al Pacino brings more charisma

Pacino because Michael Corleone was a more challenging and big role to play, more of an arc

Pacino.

That’s true. I think the scene where De Niro is talking to Wizard about what’s wrong with him is the best piece of acting tho. That’s just my subjective opinion, however.

De Niro did himself no favours doing all those desperate recent movies and going crazy over Blumpfff.

No one has even mentioned Pacino in Sea of Love or Cruising. Even if you don't care for the movies he did a great job.

The absolute state of millennials and zoomers.

Range is such a Reddit way of evaluating an actor. That bickering about it took up half this thread is kind of pathetic.

De Niro’s greatest strength is his ability to inject characters with nuance. He’s able to suggest complexities and past history for people who may have been grosteque in other actors hands. He buries himself into the characters he’s given and it shows. When handed a good script and direction, his ability to create an interior life is unmatched. His greatest weakness is a relative lack of imagination. He plays what he knows and he doesn’t make unexpected choices with his characters. He can’t elevate a script. He doesn’t have that spark that can make an immediate impression in a short scene or overpower mediocrity.

Pacinos greatest strength is his inherent spark. There’s something enticing and charismatic about this guy. Now that’s a lot of movie stars. What makes Pacino interesting is that he chose to play mainly bad guys and antiheroes his whole career. That creates such a fascinating tension where we’re not presented with a flat good or bad guy. Tony and Sonny and Michael are just as romantic and glamorous as they are complicated and tragic and dark. His greatest weakness is that his personality, if unchecked, will overpower roles. He could never play a loser, like De Niro did. He’s not someone who necessarily burrows into a character the same way.

Both big flaws and strong spots. And really different actors, no matter how much they’re compared.”

>His greatest weakness is that his personality, if unchecked, will overpower roles.
Overall good post, but I think this stands out as the deciding factor in saying "who's better?" DeNiro has a longer list of quality performances and is simply put, much more steady than Pacino. Sure, you can argue that Pacino peaked higher, but I suppose it's up to you all to decide on how much you value peak vs. productivity, or however is best to phrase it.

Seeing them as old men, never taking their roles seriously and essentially existing to be jokes, is a bit sad. I'd have figured that they'd look for good roles and leverage their prestige, but instead, they're just wasting it for cheap laughs.

That movie sucks ass

pacino

Did this nigga lose an iluminati bet?

I’m inclined to agree with your way of thinking. I also tend to be more impressed with character construction than flashy acting scenes, so that colors my view.

However, highs matter. Pacino appears to be winning this thread because of that (also because De Niro’s a liberal, let’s be real). There’s something so immediately captivating and entrancing about him- when he has the right roles, he sticks with you. It’s so easy to be impressed with him. You have to work harder with De Niro.

They’re both legends. They got lucky: they’re part of the last generation of truly iconic movie stars. Both are going to be remembered for a long time.

>Cape Fear

This is one of the few times I’ve seen that movie mentioned when talking about his career but he is goddamn incredible in it.

Pacino is liberal too, we just make fun of DeNiro for being a butthurt sperg

He was getting meme'd for WHOO AH for so long anyway. He went over the top because it doesnt matter. You faggots will talk shit no matter what.

That’s what I meant. Pacinos not very vocal while De Niro is extremely. That colors 4chans view of him.

Insomnia is amazing and Merchant of Venice is great if you want to see a movie version of the play

It is sad how they are both jokes now.

However they both recently put in a good performance on HBO playing scandalized old guys, DeNiro as a goy Madoff (what a surprise that the Jew director downplayed Madoff’s Judaism) and Pacino as Paterno. They still got it, don’t know why they are just looking for paychecks when they’re old as shit. They don’t need it.

Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors of all time. So many great roles & fun to watch. So many kino moments as well. Has a better voice than De Niro imo.

After learning that this exists, its unquestionably De Niro.

>GREAT ASS
>not memorable

Lawrence Fishbourne in the role of a lifetime, starting Robert De Niro

In all honesty Pacino is one of those actors that I always enjoy watching acting, there's something about his face and mannerism that very few people in the industry have
but anyway, I think that in their prime they both have pretty great runs, but in later years de niro really let himself go

HBO needs to make The Dark Tower as a series, and cast Clint's son as Roland.

And what is point of this?

What a great take. Good post

I prefer Pacino, but honestly, De Niro's probably the better actor. None of his roles touch Michael Corleone though.

Are you fucking kidding me? The Godfather Part I, II, and III, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco, DDA, Serpico etc.

Yeah, what you said about De Niro's talent for adding various subtleties to his characters is something that truly makes him one of the greats and is something I picked on while watching Jackie Brown and The Godfather II, especially the latter, considering he studied the shit out of Brando's performance in Part I and it shows. But he never had a role like Michael Corleone.
