    Sean Penn is a natural. His performance in Mystic River was beyond greatness. One if the top ten actors of all time by far.

      I don't like this real-life bully. His Oscar-winning performance in Mystic River, which was at times good, is marred by severely over-the-top melodramatic bullshit. I like more naturalistic acting. He's one of my least favorite big actors working today. Also, I'm sure I will be thought off base, but I don't like the movies he's in that much. I'm not disputing his talent, but I just dislike his hamminess and that sense of self-importance that comes through in most of his performances.
      In short, I think he's hammy, pretentious, and arrogant. And bores me when he's not alarming me with overacting at moments.
      In Mystic River there is one scene that was embarrassing bad when he overacted. Of course, he was probably good most of the time. The director (Clint) should have stepped in. I don't want to watch this good movie again because of him. I guess that makes me whatever? but at least I don't go around smacking people for no reason. He is over the type in Carlita's Way but for some reason, I don't mind him in that.

    Bad Boys pop in the pillow-case scene.
    As a kid growing up in the 80's Sean Penn was one of those Dylan/James Dean/Rebel Without A Cause figures... Namely because of his role in Bad Boys, Taps, Falcon And The Snowman, Colors, etc.
    But definitely that scene, and Spicoli in Fast Times are what cemented him as a permanent figure in Hollywood...

    I know they gave him some awards, but I always see him as under appreciated.

Younger generation seems to appreciate him more, though.

    This is what you call an actor that deserves full credit for his performances that EARNED him those Oscars, he's capable of adapting himself into any type of character, whether they're a murderer/rapist or a disabled man. There's only a few out there that can grab your attention and make you feel whatever they're going through, the fact of the matter is Sean Penn makes you believe his character is real. Don't ever tell me about Leonardo DiCaprio deserving an Oscar because he doesn't. Not for any of his roles. To me, he just can't make me believe that his character is real, at the end i always see an overrated actor, he's good but not that good as people make out to be. His performance in Wolf of Wall Street was decent but not Oscar worthy, especially when the other nominees are way better. Matthew Mcconaughey in Dallas Buyers Club was outstanding. I just saw Mystic River last night, and wondering to myself why Sean Penn won an Oscar for this role, then i saw him crying and told myself oh ok i see now. It felt so real and i could understand this because that's exactly how i'd react if my daughter was murdered, among the thousands of Dad's out there, they'd also be feeling that way.

      It's sad how they criticize Sean Penn for everything he does. There's a lot of Sean Penn haters out there. Look at yourselves in the mirror? Who are you or who are we? Regular people that have our own point of views and freedom of speech. We are not public figures. Who are we to judge anyone. When i go to work , i go and work and get paid for my JOB. What i do in my private personal life, what i think or say out of my job it's my business. Same thing with an actor. He gets paid to act ,that's his JOB. What he does outside his acting or movies it's his business and we should respect everyone including Sean Penn for whatever he believes in or whatever he thinks or does. He's one of the few public figures that speaks his mind on his beliefs.If every actor or public figure would be as clear as Sean Penn their would be more people public figure haters. Let the man be himself. He seems to be doing just that without giving a hoot what people think about him. I love his acting,he's a great actor that's why he has 2 Oscars.I admire him as an actor, as a person and he's a GENIUS.My opinion he should have won more Oscars. I love people who stand up for what they believe in and speak their minds.I just love this man :)

      I agree Leo is way WAY overrated. The Titanic lovers felt he should've won for Titanic, but he wasn't even nominated, nor should he have been. It's a nothing role, a cliche character, and he doesn't WOW us. The one movie he really shined in was Gilbert Grape.
      Penn can immerse himself in any part and create convincing characters. And give us the feels. Look how vastly different his characters in Mystic River, I Am Sam, and Milk are... and unbelievably they're all Sean. He can play any part, and WELL. I used to name Hoffman as the best; more recently I've realized it's SEAN PENN.

      Dead man walking shouldve been #1 by far. Although i dont think any performance can hold a candle to daniel day lewis in my left foot

      Glad u mentioned day lewis in twbb which i think is the best performance this century and possibly of all time.

      gregg mikulla Sean Penn in Dead Man Walking is better than all of DDL's performances.

    The Professor and the Madman 2019 is the best new film and performance from him so far.,

    After I watched his acting in I AM SAM (just watched it yesterday, my bad!) , I can pretty say that Leonardo DiCaprio is no longer my favorite actor!

    1) Dead Man Walking, 2) Mystic River and 3) Bas Boys. DEAD MAN WALKING IS THE BEST
