He’s one of the best actors working today. He’s got so many great performances as it’s hard for me to choose with one exception. That is in The Avengers where he kind of stole the film from everyone as Bruce Banner and really just played it cool. Once he becomes the Hulk, he gets his moment and becomes the star of the film. He’s the big reason why I’m excited for Avengers 2.
He is so cool as Bruce Banner. Looking forward to Avengers 2 as well!
Oh, I love this post! His performance I love most is Begin Again – he is basically playing my perfect guy:) He plays roles in such different movies, I just cannot wait to see him in Foxcatcher
Hahaha, but he did have issues with his wife…so he wasn’t completely perfect 😉
Ruffalo was an actor that I honestly didn’t like until I saw The Kids Are All Right. That completely changed the way I saw him. I think he’s done great work after that.
Never had issues with him myself. Why didn’t you like him?
So handsome and talented. One of my favorites; hard to pick one role. He’s always solid.
Yeah, even in weaker movies like Now You See Me 😉
Hey. I LOVED that one! But yeah, the ending was awful.
Well, the ending completely ruined the rest of the movie for me…
Totally forgot he was in Collateral. I’m gonna have to revisit that one soon.
Me too!
Ahhh, so hard to choose one. I LOVE Mark Ruffalo. 13 Going on 30 really introduced me to the guy. I love him in Zodiac. I think my current favorite of his is either Avengers or Begin Again.
Great picks and he has been giving solid performances for a while!
