Marlon Brando is wildly overrated

He was little greasy toad, I like tall handsome men. Is acting was amateurish and overrated. The only really good performance he gave IMO is in "reflection in a golden eye" where he basically plays himself = a fraud and a closet case. He hit the wall very quickly. Evil man.His luck is to have had his start alongside the fabulous Vivien Leigh in her most extraordianry performance. She made everyone look fantastic and elevated the material as T.Williams himself noted.There ,I have said it.

Nope, horrible person, but excellent actor. But, hey, at least this time you didn't hypenate "overrated".

But Gloria Vanderbilt said he was good in bed. Does anyone know what Wally Cox thought about that?

Marlon used to climb in Wally's window, to get him some of that giant hog that wally was infamously rumored to have!!!!

I agree, he was always ponderous and unengaging to me.

R5 Wall would agree. He and Marlon lived at 55 Morton Street sharing the same bed.

Streetcar/Waterfront/The Godfather - he was fantastic. Go to bed OP.

If you can't appreciate Brando for his talent (which he absolutely had—The Fugitive Kind, On the Waterfront, and Streetcar all contain classic performances by him) at the very least, you can appreciate him for his beauty. I was so taken by the dustjacket photo of him on the new biography ("The Contender") in a Barnes & Noble that I couldn't leave the store without buying it. Fortunately, it's a pretty good read, but I would've bought it for the photo alone just as a piece of art on my shelf.

Brando is overrated. But his Friends, Romans, Countrymen speech as Mark Antony in Julius Caesar was a most memorable rendition.

"Nope, horrible person, but excellent actor."

Well, maybe for the first decade of his film career. Or less. And the SOB kept making films for fifty years.
