How you gonna **** on Shia and bring up iRobot, Constantine, and Transformers?
If it wasnt brought up I wouldnt have remembered he was the sidekick in a Will Smith movie or in a Keanu movie.
At least bring up movies where he's the lead and can actually have the opportunity to display good acting in.
It just kinda seems you haven't seen a lot of movies where Shia was in except for the commercial ones.
Few years back he went on a complete tear displaying his full range as an actor.
Just look at hia filmography starting with the .ost recent movie and work your way backwards.
I wouldnt say Shia is great but he is a very good actor and managed to shake off the negative label as an actor. As a person he is a weirdo and possible scumbag and that can be off putting. Doesnt take away from his acting skills though.
