Robert De Niro hasn't raised the stakes since 'This Boys Life'. Has he just lost his edge, or is there another 'Raging Bull' In there somewhere?.

he just does different types of movies now, seems to be doing lots of comedies. im sure if he wanted to he could pull off another great taxi driver or raging bull performance, but he has nothing to prove anymore.

I think like most actors that doing certain movies all the time is not what he wanted maybe he wants to do comedies now nothing wrong with that he's just trying new styles of movies and no doing a bad job of that.

He's hella washed up!

Making flops after bombs.

He should've retired 10 years ago!

Hell no Analize This was funny and did well in the box office,Heat was one of he's best ever movies and yes analize that wasn't too good but he's most funniest movie is Meet The Parents that also did well in the box office sales.

yeah tex, he's made quite a few popular movies.... meet the parents, analyze that........yeah...

Okay maybe not many but still maybe he wanted to try something new and he can act differantly too that shows he's still a pro.

*cough*Rocky and Bullwinkle*cough*

I still ask myself "What the hell was de Niro thinking with Rocky and Bullwinkle, let alone Showtime (barf)"

Yes of course thos ewas crappy movies but there no good acor that hasn't been in at least 2 bad movies....nobody.

The last truly good film De Niro did was Heat. In fact, that was perhaps the last good film Pacino was involved as well.

Meet the parents rocked and Analizie this and heard that too yes he made other bad films who hasn't and Meet The fockers is a movie iI'm waiting for and many others for that matter.

midnight run is great, anyone seen it??

Great movie haven't given in the T.V for ages.

i dont think he's lost his edge

I didn't like him in meet the parents. He did a good job co-producing About a boy and I thought he was mediocre in Analyse this.

What that movie was hilarious.

havent seen that one..

I meant Meet the Parents,sorry.

I think he did GREAT in meet the parents and casino was a great movie. I think he still has it.

honestly i thought that Analyze This & That sucked, Meet the parents was funny but mostly for Ben Stiller, movies with DeNiro i like the most, Heat, Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, Raging bull

Anaylize this was great that wasn't too good and yeah Meet The Parents was mostly good for Ben Stiller but DeNiro was great for a role like that when he ususally in crime movies.Or where he's a tuff guy.

I mean that I had not seen meet the parents...

Got to see it very great.

ok...!

But in no way has DeNiro lost he's mind.

Once Upon A Time In America is his best ever!

He was good in Jackie Brown, the casino, heat in fact he is a not washed up at all, he may have been in a couple of bad movies, but if you analize his roles he is good, mostly.

Well I don't think he has lost his edge at all.

neither do I!

Who made this thread anyway to say he's washed up.

Some guy named Noodles.

Waste of a thread then.

No one is in tip top form ALL THE TIME. Just doesn't happen. There are peaks and valleys and for DeNiro he may be in a lull period in his career. Every actor has them. When it is time for him to shine again he will. THat's all. Losing his edge? No. Artists never lose their edge.

Yeah rated him as one of my top favorite actor.

And the general consensus here is: Robert De Niro has NOT lost his edge.

Yeah what's the point of this thread.

To determine whether we think De Niro has lost his edge or not.

Well he hasn't.

Well answered.

Thank you.

you are welcome.

The only good comedy that De Niro ever did was Midnight Run, Heat was a huge disappointment and Casino was only a pale shadow of Goodfellas. Considering Once Upon A Time In America, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Godfather 2 and all of the other truly great movies that he has done, how can anybody say that De Niro hasn't lost his edge in the last few years. I believe he turned down the Bill The Butcher role in The Gangs Of New York because he couldn't commit himself to the role, now, is that the same guy who put on 60 pounds to play Jake La Motta?

Heat!!!That movie was awesome.

De Niro is great!

Well said Thomash, huh huh that sounds like a drunk trying to say Thomash, sorry I mean Thomash, D'oh.

Heat (designer suits and stubble) was directed by Michael Mann, who also directed Miami Vice (designer suits and stubble) and Manhunter (designer suits and stubble). It must have come as some disappointment to De Niro and Pacino fans who have waited since Godfather 2, to see the two finest actors of their generation star in a movie with dialogue like "i have to sleep with frank to get closure with you". Are there any genuine fans out there old enough to remember when a new De Niro movie was an event worth waiting for?

Just saw great expectations he was really good even though he wasn't a main character he played very good in it.

De Nire is great beacuse the way he prepares for acting in a movie...for example the mission, he trained so hard with the sword, that he was good enough to join the world championship...and midnight run..he was with bounty hunters for over a week to learn how they do their job...

Correct. I agree with you, but you are referring to movies that De Niro made some time ago. Since then he has been too busy with Tribecca (his production company) to concentrate on roles in the way that you outlined with the mission, which goes back to my original question - has de niro lost his edge? With regards to Great Expectations, great performance-poor movie.

Robert De Niro is at the top of his game.

Tell me of one movie that he has done in the last 5 years that compares with the raging bull, goodfellas, once upon a time in america, taxi driver, cape fear or midnight run.... just one!!

Don't have to my friend. I am simply disagreeing with you and am not trying to debate the issue.

Accepted. Enjoyed disagreeing with you.

i cant belive that i never made a thread about him he is my favorite actor he is in so many great roles it is not even funny goodfellas casino a bronx tale cape fear ragin bull the untouchables i mean this is one greta actor he can play ne part just great and do it in ease

yep deniro kickes ass in every film he is in. just to bring up some variety i thought he was good in meet the parents

Yey...im so proud you made a thread about him...i made thread about my fave actor..Al Pacino!!!!!!!!! I hope it doesnt die soon...

Robert De Niro in Awaking...i cant even find words to describe how good he was...absolutely amazing....!

He's probably the best in The Godfather Part II. One of the best movies of all time.

Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, 60, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but his prospects for a full recovery are good.

"Doctors say the condition was detected at an early stage because of regular checkups," his publicist said. "Because of the early detection and his excellent physical condition, doctors project a full recovery."

De Niro won an Oscar as best actor in 1981 for Raging Bull, and was named best supporting actor in 1975 for his role in The Godfather: Part II.

It is uncertain how this news will affect the shooting of his latest film Hide and Seek, in which De Niro stars opposite Famke Janssen and Dakota Fanning. The thriller was filming in New York.

oh my god i hope he beats the cancer. thats so scarey. wow that is scarey. we love you robert! hang in there

phew. you should have put prostate in your topic title. I was scared for a second. Not that prostate cancer isn't serious, but its very common in men his age and easy to cure (knock on wood)

i'm glad to hear that there's a high chance he'll recover soon.

ya that is good to hear

He'll recover pretty soon....

i love Deniro and hope he is ok however, is this his punishment for doing City by the Sea??? god i hate that movie

you scared the shit out of me....

yup he has cancer. that sux.

keep it truckin' along. in due time. so lets give the man some major props before it's too late. someone start a tread about his best movies. i can name a few when that thread is visable on my computer screen.

Robert is as tough as nails!!! I got confidence he will recover soon. Best wishes and speedy recovery to Robert Deniro.
