I liked him in this movie. He's actually believable. Comparing him to Denzel is bananas.

the movie suffered from a lack of gravity imo. everything big that happened felt like there was no weight behind it. kind of like paint by numbers; its there because its supposed to be

The script wasn’t very good. He and Pedro didn’t have a lot to do

He wasn’t able to rise above the mediocre script, but part of being a movie star is to be able make the clunky dialogue sing regardless or push back to put in your own voice

He’s so good in everything else it’s hard to understand why and I wonder if he abandoned his instincts on this or was a bit overwhelmed by his costars

I thought he was fantastic in Gladiator, I actually thought Denzel phoned in his performance, he’s definitely been better.

100% agree. Paul Mescal is a great actor but something was just a bit boring about his performance in Gladiator. Not bad, just wasn’t exciting.

Yeah I disagree. It was such a huge jump and so different to the roles we are use to seeing him in. For a magnitude of this film I think he nailed it.

I'd say Pedro, Fred and Joseph all outshine him although not quite as much as Denzel not a good look, but it's an unusual role for him so far

He definitely has someone making things happen for him. For him to be where he is in his career after 4 years and a handful of roles is crazy

some people can’t carry a blockbuster, lesser actors can carry it off charisma, and very good actors (like Mescal) can get lost in the scope of it all

He wasn’t that great in gladiator but it makes the most sense for business.

Paul is a good actor, but his range is limited and was miscast in this. He’s becoming overrated

After he said there was a take where he kissed Pedro and it was cut, I wonder if there was better but Scott has bad judgment. I think a kiss in that fight would have elevated the tension and passion
