Your mistake: Thinking this channel was comprised of intelligent, thoughtful and passionate content producers instead of dickheads who crank out content
I was about to comment the same thing just because the Movie is bad doesn't mean his Performance is bad I liked every mentioned Role of him Except for Walking with Dinosaurs which i've never seen so i know nothing about that one
I was 11 when 2000AD started and fell in love with it from the very first episode. Never missed a copy, every week without fail (right into my early 20's lol). So many great stories and characters. Dredd was always my favourite though. I have to agree with everything you, and Santiago have said. I was so disappointed with Stallone's version. But Karl Urban WAS Dredd. Absolutely brilliant take on him, just how I pictured him and he brought him to life for me. His reply at the start of the film to the chief judge's order to throw Anderson into the deep end, where he says "It's all the deep end" was pure perfection. The only disappointment about that film is the lack of anymore. As much as I love Star Trek I wish it had being Dredd with all the sequels...
*'Most actors reject a film where there face doesn't show up a lot, and almost all reject one that their face isn't shown.'* While Urban is on record stating that he'd have rejected Dredd if his face *WAS* shown....
***** Hey no worries. It's a great comic. Opened my mind to so many ideas as a young boy. There were many long ongoing stories but it always had great little one off ones too. One of my favourite's that stuck in my mind, to give you an idea of it, was the story about man's first mission to find the edge of the universe. The crew finally gets there and as they stick their heads through the edge of the universe, you can see all the galaxies our universe are the atoms that make up the fridge door of some alien's kitchen, with the alien in there cooking tea. Like I say, loved that sort of stuff as a kid... Ah who am I kidding, I still do lol.
calling stallones version of judge dredd, which butchered the comic original, must be some kind of sin in itself. The remake is much closer to the comic original, thats why fans like it more.
Are you shitting me? Riddick? Don't get me wrong, I agree with the analysis of the movie itself, but Urban's subplot and performance are the best parts of an otherwise garbled mess. His character has the most depth of all the cast, and he fucking nails it. A loyal general that is content to serve that is being manipulated by his sea-hag of a wife because she lusts for power. I don't know about anyone else, but the only reason I enjoyed Riddick was because of Vaako's subplot and Urban's performance.
I can't believe that even made the suck list, let alone the top spot. I think the most ringing endorsement of his performance in that role is that I've seen Dredd, Riddick, and 2 Star Trek movies a LOT and I had no idea that that was Karl Urban playing Vaako...never had a clue...the character was so well played that I never even bothered to look at who was actually playing Vaako...
probably because before Star Trek Karl Urban was mostly seen as a second-rate support actor, but his name was pretty remembered after he played one of the most iconic character in sci-fi history. You get remembered for that.
if you're a karl urban fan I highly recommend the show, "almost human". despite it being cancelled after the first season for being too expensive to make and ending on a cliff hanger with a lot of unanswered questions, it's a damn good show.
I agree - I wish there were more movies like the Riddick series, that try to build a whole sci-fi *universe* around themselves. The kind that, like the Star Wars flicks, make you want to find out more about the history, or mythology of the different factions and worlds. Movies where you get the sense that the universe they're set in is much, *much* bigger than what you've been shown. I don't know whether movie producers think that films like that are unpopular, or bound to lose money, or too much effort for not enough reward, or what... But yeh, I agree. Moar Riddicks! --S
You know a cross over between Riddick and the predator will be a hell of a fight. Hunter Vs Hunter , savage vs savage, I would pay 50$ to see that movie on cinema. But at least 70% fighting not chatting or setting the story line
DarkEmperor00 That's a *really* good idea dude... I'd pay to see that movie. The backstories for both sides have already been established, so we don't need to be told any of the history - just tons of time for *hunting!* --S
Stickie Dmin well I had a fan art made for that storyline a while back in 2011 but never really had the time to color and publish it. Maybe I will get back into that project again :) Here are some of my art work if anyone is intrested : darkemperor00.deviantart.com/
Even if the movies are bad, Urban puts everything he's got into is performances. He's always good, and often the best thing about a movie he's in, precisely because they're often generic action films where nobody else is giving an honest effort. He stands out, and stands alone as THE actor to portray iconic characters without his own ego interfering.
Me too. Plot ripped off "Resident Evil" more than it paid homage to the "Doom" video games, though. Really wish they'd stuck with the portal to Hell on Mars plot, instead. :(
As a regular fan of Urban, I don't see that any of these 5 "bad" performances were bad at all. You may not like what he had been asked to do, or the final result of what the movie brings, but I don't see that Karl Urban was the problem. Blame the director, blame the budget, blame the story, blame the target audience, but don't blame the actor....unless you're trying to justify a "bad" title to a youtube video.
The problem with Doom is that people want it to be something that it's not. I think it does what it tries to do quite well and I really like Karl in it.
I enjoyed Doom, perhaps not liked but it was kinda fun (especially compared to Transformers I saw earlier). The FPS bit was somewhat cringy but the flick was a fun space mutants flick. People complain about it as if the source material was War & Peace or LotR caliber. Let's be real for sometimes, huh? If it's enjoyable then it's good.
+The Mockracy isn't enjoying something and liking something the same thing? sounds like a redundancy. But I agree in comparison to an absolutely great movie, yeah it's not there. But its being called as bad as priest and that's just ridiculous.
+The Mockracy isn't enjoying something and liking something the same thing? sounds like a redundancy. But I agree in comparison to an absolutely great movie, yeah it's not there. But its being called as bad as priest and that's just ridiculous.
Almost Human was my top show on T.V. it scratched the itch that a show like Nathan Fillian's Castle couldn't because that show is so focused on love. Almost human blended futuristic vibes with a dynamic duo that was unbeatable. Michael Ealy was also AMAZING in that show. Hopefully they reboot it some day.
And one of those bros was a robot. :D One of the last shows I enjoyed, but I'm not surprised it got cancelled. I mean why make good things when you can make more crap?
The Chronicles of Riddick entry was a little unfair, he was decent in that. I like that movie also, I think it gets hate mainly due to it being a very different style to the first movie (Pitch black) And not what people were expecting. Same thing with Prometheus.
if they can justify making two dozen james bond movies with seven actors thus far why is it crazy to assume riddick couldn't pull a serial? I'll never understand the hate.
Chris Hall Me neither, I thought the movie had a great tone to it. I was looking forward to the third but I guess the hate killed the direct sequel to it. I didn't like the third movie that eventually materialised so much personally.
I love Chronicles of Riddick. Seen it so many times. The third movie is great, pretty much a retread of Pitch Black but I like how the first half focuses on Riddick himself.
Universal didn't get their money back on Chronicles of Riddick but I read that Diesel put most of the budget out of his own pocket because they didn't want to do another It was the budget that hurt the third film and hope they do make one more .He has to get even with Vassko .
Almost Human. Definitely a great show and Karl Urban's performance was amazing. It was the kind of show I wasn't sold on by the adverts, but after watching the first episode, was sold on. Loved it and still bitter about the fact it was cancelled.
He's an all-around good actor, but I agree Dredd was great with him in the lead. I don't care that it was a Clint Eastwood impression - it fit perfectly. Also, for me he stole every scene in Star Trek Beyond.
I agree. Star Trek Beyond allowed him to show just how great an actor he is. I thought his interactions with Spock were some of the best parts of the movie. He definitely reminds me of DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy, and brings more to the role. I actually liked him in most of those "sucky" roles, but Dredd is a righteous choice for #1.
So much love for Dredd. We love his commitment and lack of ego shown by keeping the iconic helmet on for the entire film. He stayed true to the source material and was rewarded.
I'm a Riddick fan so I loved Karl as Vaako. I also liked Doom and thought he was good there too. My favorite though has to be in Lord of the Rings, his expressions in the deleted scene where Legolas and Gimli have a drinking contest slays me
I Enjoyed Karl Urban in "Path Finder"with the Viking Twist to it and when he sets out to defeat those that left him behind as a Child + The great Skin scenes in "Path Finder"As well I saw that in the Theatre and afterwards bought the DVD version of "Path Finder" same goes for the first "LOTR" Trilogy he was in briefly saw in the Theatre and afterwards bought the unrated Extended cut of the First Trilogy still have to buy "The Hobbit Trilogy" on DVD . P.S Karl Did a Pretty Good in "Almost Human"Shame he didnt; get at least a ( "3 Year Run") instead of just a ("1 Year Run") thats Fox For You.
Karl's performance as Bones in Star Trek is my favorite. As far as the new wave of actors for the TOS characters goes, I feel his performance is the best match to the original actor. I really can't say enough good things about it. I definitely look forward to seeing more of Karl Urban in Star Trek and other movies.
The scene in Return of the King where Éomer finds his sister on the battlefield got to be one of the best scenes he's ever done. Even though it is short, it is so goddamn intense and believable, made an impact on me. I think Urban is a great actor.
When he was at a Con in Minnesota. Anyone that asked to shake his hand as he walked around he was happy to do so. Gotta say, to turn around and have the man not 3 feet from you was amazing!
I liked him in Chronicles of Riddick. It was the movies that sucked not his performance. He is an excellent actor. He gave great performances in all that he did
When I first saw McCoy in the "Star Trek" reboot I seriously thought that they had found a relative of DeForest Kelley and put him in the role: Karl NAILED IT! Confession: "Doom" and "Priest" are two guilty pleasures of mine...
Anybody else enjoy him as Julius Cesar in Xena? Xena is the first thin I ever saw him in and it always stood out in my head. When he showed up in LOTR, i didn't recognize him at first then about halfway through the light bulb went on and yelled out, "Cesar!"
lol pretty sure most people completely disagree with you. He was great in almost all of those movies. Just because the movie wasn't that great doesn't mean he wasn't. Doom is definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me.
I believe his best role was Caesar in the Xena series. It was also one of the most popular of the time. His face and attitude in the show perfectly fit the role of Caesar.
Why? I felt for the time it was something very different and suited the source material. Sure they could have maybe executed it better, but the concept was cool I feel.
honestly, Out Of The Blue is an amazing movie. I watched it bc of this video and it was incredible. Being from New Zealand, I was horrified when I learned of this tragedy, I had no idea this had happened in my country. Karl plays an amazing part, seriously good movie.
The first thing i saw Karl in was Riddick. He really held the dark vibes for the entire story, carrying the antagonist role so that the protagonist could play off his personna. Regardless of script or outfit, Karl easily informed the audience what was going on and what side he was versus that of the hero. His acting wasnt a tragedy either. That movie led me to doom and then a few others. I've never really come across anything off other than the milk farmer he played once....but i can agree with that weird looking dino thing and xena. Then again, that's a bad decision, that doesn't mean he can't act
I liked him as Texas Ranger Woodrow Call in Comanche Moon. It was the prequel to Lonesome Dove where Tommy Lee Jones played that character. James Garner played him in Streets Of Laredo. Johnny Lee Miller played the youngest version of Call in Dead Mans Walk.
Yup .... Loved Karls work as Bones McCoy.... so so awesome. Vacco Vaaco.... whatevertheH his name was, yeah, he was cool in Riddick too... Just now was rewatching Dredd 2012.... precisely BECAUSE he's awesome as The Judge Dredd... But he damn well blew me away as "Bones".... damn that guy nailed it.
Not necessarily my "favorite" but one I like a lot is Cooper in the movie Red. Love how he's just chatting with the wife on his phone while he plants evidence and then hangs the guy he's framing.
Most of the "ones that suck" he was really good in. It was the movies that sucked, not him.
I agree with you
Exaxtly
I agree as well......oh wait why are we replying to a 4 year old comment xD
Amen
Let's be honest. Have you ever seen him looking bad, giving a bad performance? No, he's literally flawless as an actor.
Moxen Remon bloody amen to that
He is not at all flawless, but nobody is - I really like him too though
He is just being given shity scripts
Ya he's great! I love the movies they said were bad!! WTF they are great
Great acting shitty scripts
So basically 5 good films he was in and 5 bad films he was in? You judged most of it by the film not his acting.
EXACTLY!!!
Your mistake: Thinking this channel was comprised of intelligent, thoughtful and passionate content producers instead of dickheads who crank out content
Absolutely agree ... if the script and the character development was bad, why to blane it on the actor?
I was about to comment the same thing just because the Movie is bad doesn't mean his Performance is bad
I liked every mentioned Role of him
Except for Walking with Dinosaurs which i've never seen so i know nothing about that one
most of the films hes been in, his performances have been good.
I loved him in Riddick.
It's a shame he didn't get an Oscar for Dredd... It was a masterpiece, and he didn't play Judge Dredd; he WAS Judge Dredd.
I was 11 when 2000AD started and fell in love with it from the very first episode. Never missed a copy, every week without fail (right into my early 20's lol). So many great stories and characters. Dredd was always my favourite though. I have to agree with everything you, and Santiago have said. I was so disappointed with Stallone's version. But Karl Urban WAS Dredd.

*'Most actors reject a film where there face doesn't show up a lot, and almost all reject one that their face isn't shown.'* While Urban is on record stating that he'd have rejected Dredd if his face *WAS* shown....
Kartissa I didn't know he'd said that but it goes to show his understanding of the role. No wonder he was so good.
***** He's a big fan of Judge Dredd. He knows the comic version very well.
***** Hey no worries. It's a great comic. Opened my mind to so many ideas as a young boy. There were many long ongoing stories but it always had great little one off ones too. One of my favourite's that stuck in my mind, to give you an idea of it, was the story about man's first mission to find the edge of the universe.

Like I say, loved that sort of stuff as a kid... Ah who am I kidding, I still do lol.
Karl Urban is always good!
you've got that one right
He us always so damn fineeeeee. And now in The Boys? Damnnn
Indeed
Dredd!!
You spelled "always a fucking legend" wrong 😂
I've never seen him suck... you may hate the movies, but his performances are almost always standout ones
I have not watched all 10 of these movies but i genuinely agree with you.
his performance in Dredd was as good as Ryan Reynolds performance in Deadpool. perfect.
agree. dred was amazing
Yes, no other person could grimace for that long
dredd was a terrible movie.... but only because it was a remake of an incredible movie, which Judge Dredd was in its day
calling stallones version of judge dredd, which butchered the comic original, must be some kind of sin in itself. The remake is much closer to the comic original, thats why fans like it more.
there was a comic ?? Ive never seen comic books for sale in my country, ever....
5 Five awesome performances & that sucked???? Who the fuck titled this video?
Yeah the Title is really wonky.
lol, deadline bruh!
Sin Cara
I thought that as well
i was thinking the same thing!
I disagree with Priest. The movie did suck, but Karl Urban was awesome - the only good part of the movie, in fact.
How you screw up a movie with Karl Urban and Paul Bettany is still boggling my mind.
Are you shitting me? Riddick? Don't get me wrong, I agree with the analysis of the movie itself, but Urban's subplot and performance are the best parts of an otherwise garbled mess. His character has the most depth of all the cast, and he fucking nails it. A loyal general that is content to serve that is being manipulated by his sea-hag of a wife because she lusts for power. I don't know about anyone else, but the only reason I enjoyed Riddick was because of Vaako's subplot and Urban's performance.
I like all Riddick films
I can't believe that even made the suck list, let alone the top spot. I think the most ringing endorsement of his performance in that role is that I've seen Dredd, Riddick, and 2 Star Trek movies a LOT and I had no idea that that was Karl Urban playing Vaako...never had a clue...the character was so well played that I never even bothered to look at who was actually playing Vaako...
I didn't like the animated one as much as the others, but that's just me.
plus, it's Riddick. not liking Chronicles of Riddick lame.
probably because before Star Trek Karl Urban was mostly seen as a second-rate support actor, but his name was pretty remembered after he played one of the most iconic character in sci-fi history. You get remembered for that.
RED was great, Karl was a big part of why it was great.
Oh yeah I forgot about that one!
Great flick. Urban was great in it. I was thinking it was going to be #1
if you're a karl urban fan I highly recommend the show, "almost human". despite it being cancelled after the first season for being too expensive to make and ending on a cliff hanger with a lot of unanswered questions, it's a damn good show.
Yes! Finally someone else who's seen almost human
I have that series downloaded in my laptop and rewatch it constantly, I wished they had made more seasons.
you had it, right up to chronicles of riddick.
agreed.
me3
yarp, i kinda dug him in chronicles.
Me too. His performance in that movie is what should be looked at. Not just "He sucked cause I didn't like the movie".
I agree also, that film is a total guilty pleasure!
I like the Riddick movies and Karl Urban's performance in them...
I agree. Vaako character was very good actually
I agree - I wish there were more movies like the Riddick series, that try to build a whole sci-fi *universe* around themselves. The kind that, like the Star Wars flicks, make you want to find out more about the history, or mythology of the different factions and worlds. Movies where you get the sense that the universe they're set in is much, *much* bigger than what you've been shown.
I don't know whether movie producers think that films like that are unpopular, or bound to lose money, or too much effort for not enough reward, or what...

Here are some of my art work if anyone is intrested :
darkemperor00.deviantart.com/
I liked him as Vaako mainly because he looked more of a better villain than the main villain
well I agree, Colm Feore wasn't a great choice for the main vilain
+Mario Dupuis (SwarmHammer) Agreed! He lacked something. Everything Vaako had
Even if the movies are bad, Urban puts everything he's got into is performances. He's always good, and often the best thing about a movie he's in, precisely because they're often generic action films where nobody else is giving an honest effort. He stands out, and stands alone as THE actor to portray iconic characters without his own ego interfering.
Hey I liked Doom...
Me too. Plot ripped off "Resident Evil" more than it paid homage to the "Doom" video games, though. Really wish they'd stuck with the portal to Hell on Mars plot, instead. :(
The 1st person scene was worth the movie though!
Me too. One of my favorite movies ever, actually. And Karl’s performance as Reaper was flawless.
He was awesome in Riddick, this is crazy.
agreed
You missed off his best list
John Kennex - Almost Human. He was absolutely fantastic in Almost Human. Still pissed off Fox axed it.
I think he purposely left off tv shows, else Xena would have turned up on the bad list lol.
Amen to that!! :)
I can never forget John Kennex. Almost Human was beautiful.
Mike Wilson-Barrett I LOVED that show! Hardly saw anyone who ever saw it. I was pissed it got axed too.
As a regular fan of Urban, I don't see that any of these 5 "bad" performances were bad at all. You may not like what he had been asked to do, or the final result of what the movie brings, but I don't see that Karl Urban was the problem.

I actually liked doom very unappreciated movie
The problem with Doom is that people want it to be something that it's not. I think it does what it tries to do quite well and I really like Karl in it.
+Lance Lange I could not agree more.
I enjoyed Doom, perhaps not liked but it was kinda fun (especially compared to Transformers I saw earlier). The FPS bit was somewhat cringy but the flick was a fun space mutants flick. People complain about it as if the source material was War & Peace or LotR caliber. Let's be real for sometimes, huh?
If it's enjoyable then it's good.
+The Mockracy isn't enjoying something and liking something the same thing? sounds like a redundancy. But I agree in comparison to an absolutely great movie, yeah it's not there. But its being called as bad as priest and that's just ridiculous.

I love Karl Urban so much, he is hilarious. He slays as Bones and Dredd. Can't wait to see him in Thor Ragnarok
And now we have "The Boys", by far the greatest show right now and Urban is perfect in it.
he was great in the season 2 finale when he decided to protect homelanders son instead of hating him for accidentally killing becca
how can you not love him and Thandie Newton in Riddick. Their contrasting characters worked so well together
I know this list was just his film work, but Mr. Urban did great work on the one season of Almost Human.
Doom - The generic action hero. Have you played the original game?
it's funny bc doom guy went back in hell and killed everybody there bc his bunny died idk Any generic hero who is like that
"AYE EM... THA LAW!"
+Xiaolruc "Prepare to be judged!" Oh, we judged your performance, all right, Stallone.
John Wick almost fits that bill
where the hell is adam?
Ignorance is real
"It is known..."
*_Almost Human and Dredd (as well as hopefully Dredd 2)..._*
THAT'S where I know him from! Thank you!! Yeah, that was growing on me.
Almost Human was my top show on T.V. it scratched the itch that a show like Nathan Fillian's Castle couldn't because that show is so focused on love. Almost human blended futuristic vibes with a dynamic duo that was unbeatable. Michael Ealy was also AMAZING in that show. Hopefully they reboot it some day.
Patrick Geller Yup once it became about the couple, it declined, but when it was more of them as a duo it was great.
Couldn't agree more. There are far too many shows focused on love. Almost Human gave us bros fighting crime. Miss that dearly.
And one of those bros was a robot. :D
One of the last shows I enjoyed, but I'm not surprised it got cancelled. I mean why make good things when you can make more crap?
Anything Karl Urban is great
he's actually a brilliant actor and precisely highlights the "mediocre" movies in which you tell that he sucked
I didn't even notice half of these were the same actor.
That's how good the man is :)
He's like the anti Gary Oldman.
Right!?
The Chronicles of Riddick entry was a little unfair, he was decent in that. I like that movie also, I think it gets hate mainly due to it being a very different style to the first movie (Pitch black) And not what people were expecting. Same thing with Prometheus.
if they can justify making two dozen james bond movies with seven actors thus far why is it crazy to assume riddick couldn't pull a serial? I'll never understand the hate.

Me neither, I thought the movie had a great tone to it. I was looking forward to the third but I guess the hate killed the direct sequel to it. I didn't like the third movie that eventually materialised so much personally.
bowser515 the third was really a repeat of the first, to try to bring back the craze.
I love Chronicles of Riddick. Seen it so many times. The third movie is great, pretty much a retread of Pitch Black but I like how the first half focuses on Riddick himself.
Universal didn't get their money back on Chronicles of Riddick but I read that Diesel put most of the budget out of his own pocket because they didn't want to do another It was the budget that hurt the third film and hope they do make one more .He has to get even with Vassko .
I liked Chronicles of Riddick.... He played a role of a Necromonger and I think he did what he had to do... Sorry, big fan of Riddick's world.
DOOM was an amazingly shitty awesome film. Cult classic, loves it. Using a CRT monitor as a flail? Count me in
Wait, wait, wait - so The Last Samurai desecrated the samurai culture?
It was garbage and centered around Tom Cruise's substantial ego.
damn beautiful film and I don't care if it's realistic or not.
I heard somewhere that Karl is willing to play Dredd in a possible Netflix series.
he is totally underrated. So handsome and so sexy. He has something for sure.
i actually really like doom, i'm not saying it's a good film, but i find it very entertaining! such a guilty pleasure!
Karl urban was great in the chronicles of riddick and it was a great film
Almost Human. Definitely a great show and Karl Urban's performance was amazing. It was the kind of show I wasn't sold on by the adverts, but after watching the first episode, was sold on. Loved it and still bitter about the fact it was cancelled.
Him and Dominic Cooper could play brothers
and Misha Collins
+Joshua Richards or Sebastian Stan
Bring back "Almost Human"!
I think you meant, Karl Urban: 10 awesome performances
He's an all-around good actor, but I agree Dredd was great with him in the lead. I don't care that it was a Clint Eastwood impression - it fit perfectly. Also, for me he stole every scene in Star Trek Beyond.
I agree. Star Trek Beyond allowed him to show just how great an actor he is. I thought his interactions with Spock were some of the best parts of the movie.

So much love for Dredd. We love his commitment and lack of ego shown by keeping the iconic helmet on for the entire film. He stayed true to the source material and was rewarded.
I liked him in Red and Almost Human
Bye, Riddick movies rocked and he's Vaako was sooo good.
I'm a Riddick fan so I loved Karl as Vaako. I also liked Doom and thought he was good there too. My favorite though has to be in Lord of the Rings, his expressions in the deleted scene where Legolas and Gimli have a drinking contest slays me
I thought he was completely enigmatic in Priest. When he was on screen, he owned the scene. WhatCulture, don't become watchmojo. Please!
Loved Dredd, and I really actually liked Doom! Those are my two fav Karl Urban movies for sure.
I Enjoyed Karl Urban in "Path Finder"with the Viking Twist to it and when he sets out to defeat those that left him behind as a Child + The great Skin scenes in "Path Finder"As well I saw that in the Theatre and afterwards bought the DVD version of "Path Finder" same goes for the first "LOTR" Trilogy he was in briefly saw in the Theatre and afterwards bought the unrated Extended cut of the First Trilogy still have to buy "The Hobbit Trilogy" on DVD . P.S Karl Did a Pretty Good in "Almost Human"Shame he didnt; get at least a ( "3 Year Run") instead of just a ("1 Year Run") thats Fox For You.
If he were to play the gunslinger in The Dark Tower, I'd watch it. He don't look half bad in that Stetson.
Agreed!
I really wish they would have asked him to play Roland!
no you will not criticize Riddick
FYI, Vin freaking morgaged his HOUSE in order to help complete the third Riddick film. He just loves playing the character.
Yes, he did!
I have mad respect for Vin!
Karl Urban has to come back and do Judge Dredd again. He nailed that part.
Where. The. HELL. is RED
I always like Karl Urban. Even if the movie isn't my favee, he does a good acting job.
Everything that Mr. Urban does is gold. He has never had a bad performance, only bad material.
Urban was great fun in Almost Human as the grumpy lead.
Karl's performance as Bones in Star Trek is my favorite. As far as the new wave of actors for the TOS characters goes, I feel his performance is the best match to the original actor. I really can't say enough good things about it. I definitely look forward to seeing more of Karl Urban in Star Trek and other movies.
He was great in R.E.D
The scene in Return of the King where Éomer finds his sister on the battlefield got to be one of the best scenes he's ever done. Even though it is short, it is so goddamn intense and believable, made an impact on me.
I think Urban is a great actor.
He was pretty good in Almost Human.
When he was at a Con in Minnesota. Anyone that asked to shake his hand as he walked around he was happy to do so. Gotta say, to turn around and have the man not 3 feet from you was amazing!
I'm sorry, but I absolutely adore Doom, and it kind of sucks how many "Worst of..." lists it's appeared on.
So glad you recognised his work in Out of the Blue. Fantastic film and outstanding performance by Urban.
He played a character called Munder, in a really shitty horror film named Ghost Ship.
I loved Ghost Ship, to each his own.
That was a God Awful movie
Karl Urban is one of the best. No matter what movie he is in, he is great and handsome as hell.
I liked him in Chronicles of Riddick. It was the movies that sucked not his performance. He is an excellent actor. He gave great performances in all that he did
Karl nailed it as Dredd, deservedly no.1 spot as best performance!
When I first saw McCoy in the "Star Trek" reboot I seriously thought that they had found a relative of DeForest Kelley and put him in the role: Karl NAILED IT!
Confession: "Doom" and "Priest" are two guilty pleasures of mine...
Dredd was my favorite movie with Karl Urban. Hopefully, they make a sequel.
Anybody else enjoy him as Julius Cesar in Xena? Xena is the first thin I ever saw him in and it always stood out in my head. When he showed up in LOTR, i didn't recognize him at first then about halfway through the light bulb went on and yelled out, "Cesar!"
lol pretty sure most people completely disagree with you. He was great in almost all of those movies. Just because the movie wasn't that great doesn't mean he wasn't. Doom is definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me.
I guess I am just a big Karl urban fan because I loved all of his performances in good or bad movies
I'll always see Karl as Caesarin Xena! no matter how famous he gets haha. That's the role i always remember.
They forgot his performance in 'RED'. That was brilliant too.
He’s fun as Skurge the Executioner in Thor: Ragnarok.
He was also solid in RED.
I believe his best role was Caesar in the Xena series. It was also one of the most popular of the time. His face and attitude in the show perfectly fit the role of Caesar.
I loved them all! I loved him, back when he was on Hercules and Xena.
I liked doom :(
we all like something that sucked that's why they're called guilty pleasures
+chris hollingsworth true, i loved van helsing with hugh Jackman
Oh man, Van Helsing, I loved that movie when I was 13, still enjoy it to this day. And the FPS scene in Doom is awesome.
I facepalmed at that FPS scene but sure.
Why? I felt for the time it was something very different and suited the source material. Sure they could have maybe executed it better, but the concept was cool I feel.
honestly, Out Of The Blue is an amazing movie. I watched it bc of this video and it was incredible. Being from New Zealand, I was horrified when I learned of this tragedy, I had no idea this had happened in my country. Karl plays an amazing part, seriously good movie.
My favourite Karl Urban film is any film with Karl Urban in :P
Dredd is one of my favourite Karl Urban flicks, be nice to see a sequel.
most underrated actor out there
The first thing i saw Karl in was Riddick. He really held the dark vibes for the entire story, carrying the antagonist role so that the protagonist could play off his personna. Regardless of script or outfit, Karl easily informed the audience what was going on and what side he was versus that of the hero. His acting wasnt a tragedy either. That movie led me to doom and then a few others. I've never really come across anything off other than the milk farmer he played once....but i can agree with that weird looking dino thing and xena. Then again, that's a bad decision, that doesn't mean he can't act
I really liked him as Cooper in RED ... especially his reaction when he realizes the source of Moses' phone call to him.
I thought he was pretty good in RED. But I also liked him in riddick. Meh
RED WAS GREAT and Karl Urban is a big part of it
This is the FIRST time I ever say this - you took the words right out of my mouth. Well done.
He's perfect as Vaako... and Riddick's movies are great... and the video games. (Well in their director's cut version.)
I liked him as Texas Ranger Woodrow Call in Comanche Moon. It was the prequel to Lonesome Dove where Tommy Lee Jones played that character. James Garner played him in Streets Of Laredo. Johnny Lee Miller played the youngest version of Call in Dead Mans Walk.
I met Karl Urban at a convention once.
chronicles of riddick actually has a strong following, vaako was good in it.
Yup .... Loved Karls work as Bones McCoy.... so so awesome. Vacco Vaaco.... whatevertheH his name was, yeah, he was cool in Riddick too... Just now was rewatching Dredd 2012.... precisely BECAUSE he's awesome as The Judge Dredd... But he damn well blew me away as "Bones".... damn that guy nailed it.
Yeah, I watched "PRIEST" too.... obviously he was not "Top Notch" in that one
Not necessarily my "favorite" but one I like a lot is Cooper in the movie Red. Love how he's just chatting with the wife on his phone while he plants evidence and then hangs the guy he's framing.
Caesar in Xena... My favourite 😍
Yup I remember watching one of his very early movies like Ghost Ship..... His performance was phenomenal
It’s not about the duds! Karl Urban was absolutely amazing and integral in LOTR and Star Trek and he DID have the Stallone lips in DREDD
The Chronicles of Riddick is a cult flik. Carl was great in it.
