Horrible Acting Skills ruined this


The Horrible acting skills by the kid in the glasses (Finn Wolfhard) and the fat kid (Jeremy Ray Taylor) ruined this movie a bit for me. Every time one of them was on the screen, it felt like a bad school play, how did these kids even end up on the big screen?

Probably because your perceptive is wrong and the kid's acting was fine.

it seems you have no idea what good acting looks like

They are kids. They aren't going to be amazing. Their acting was fine. You are just a moaner lol.
You didn't like the film but you have no real reason, so you have to blame the acting even though there was nothing wrong with the acting.
Name me some other films where the children acted better...?

reply

You're crazy. The kids were great. Every single one of them.

the fat kid (Jeremy Taylor) was awesome...

The characters as a whole were pretty thin, as it is a horror movie and they are archetypes, but the actors nailed their roles and the fat kid adn the girl seemed to go beyond just portraying the types and made them feel believable.

The glasses kid was just there for one-liners and had pretty good delivery.

i partly agree but the kid in the glasses is maybe the worst actor on this planet

reply

Hahaa I also felt the kid actors were pretty damn stale.. except Bev. Did Bill even studder, I can't even remember..

reply

Good question :)

reply

Yes he studdered. I think the bullies even made fun of him because of that.
