I think he is a fantastic actor. I try to see every movie he is in, even if the previews look like garbage.

I thought he was an awful actor up until I saw The Fighter. Since then he has been a roll with some impressive flicks.

But goddammit, he had some stinkers earlier in his career. He was unbearable in The Happening, Planet of the Apes, Three Kings, Four Brothers, Invincible, etc. His short role in the Departed wasn't bad but I feel like literally anyone could have done his 15 minutes of screen time.

He's certainly gotten better as he's gotten older. I think he's pretty good.

He's a legit actor now. Of course early on he was not, but I will pretty much watch any movie he puts out because I like his acting.

I think he's gotten much better as he's gotten older. He's actually one of my favorite actors now.

I think that he is extremely underrated as an actor. I also think he does a great job of selected movies that fit his skill set.

He excels at comedic performances, and is good in action movies...however, his dramatic performances arent very impressive imo.

He's best when playing an idiot. That's why Boogie Nights is so good.

People really liked Shooter? I thought that movie was fricking awful...like Pearl Harbor awful.

I think his acting is okay ... but he's made $100s of millions as a Producer ... and he's produced a lot of big hits, even a couple for HBO.

I saw The Gambler a week or two ago. fricking terrible.

ETA: Wahlberg did a good job, though. The directing just blew.
