material_boy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 As much as I love the Queen, I just can't get behind her acting carer. So many bad movies -- and so much bad acting in otherwise "meh" films. The only sort of film that I expect she'd be good in that she has not yet done is an action film. She's an excellent dancer, and I suspect she could quickly learn and expertly execute the highly-choreographed fight scenes that have dominated films since "Kill Bill." Hell, she would have been incredible as the Bride in "Kill Bill." Desperately Seeking Susan, Evita, Dick Tracy, A league of their own are movies I loved and her performances. Hated Dangerous Game but she was superb in that. Who's that girl was cute. The rest though - dreadful, especially Swept Away which I always pretend does not exist. She is often too nervous and self conscious as an actress. You can see her fear and insecurity which actors just can't show. Madonna is often nervous on stage thus her shaking at times - but that does not affect her as a performer and I consider her to be the best popular music performer ever. Acting though, not her forte. I think she would be always be wonderful in musicals as she is magnetic and believable in all her music videos. A'h well, she has still been in some great movies and Desperately Seeking Susan is still one of the highlights of her total charisma on screen. "Desperately Seeking Susan," "Dick Tracy," "ALOTO," and "Evita" have always been the "big four" for me. The films are well done all around, she acts well in them, and the roles in each are a good fit for her star / public image at each of these times in her career. Madonna needed to play Madonna after Susan a little bit longer. after the press said, she only played herself, she jumped too fast to prove them wrong. its what killed the acting career. I've never really thought of this before, but you might be right here. The only real role that got away imo, was Ginger in Casino.THE END. + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may mock her age, but one can never deny that she looks good. I believe she could make the role her own, and not doing it because for the reasons you give I think is short sighted (if that is indeed the case). Imagine if all actors felt like this, think of the movies that would never have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratzuo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 They may mock her age, but one can never deny that she looks good. Oh, but the media do it all the time, choosing the worst photo out of a hundred where she looks great, just to prove she's "old". I believe she could make the role her own, and not doing it because for the reasons you give I think is short sighted (if that is indeed the case). Imagine if all actors felt like this, think of the movies that would never have been made. Problem is she's not your average actress, she's Madonna. She's got a bad rep so you know the haters would have their knives out even before filming started. It'd be simply too easy for the media to get really vicious about Madonna, were she to play Norma Desmond. I've always thought she just wouldn't feel comfortable taking that role - less so at this particular stage of her career. It's the complete opposite of the image she wants to portray.

ratzuo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Well, we never got a Bedtime Stories or ROL tour because of movies. And it was W.E. that put MDNA on the back burner promotion-wise. Heck, some might even argue the quality of the album was affected as well (personally I never felt that way, I do love me some MDNA, but it is true the recording process was very un-Madonna in that it took a backseat to the movie).

frzndrwnwrld Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I agree that W.E. got in the way of MDNA being a more polished album. It's still a good album, but not her best. With just a little more attention, it could've been stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacHarris Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 She should just direct herself next time around & get her Streisand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacHarris Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 As for Nicole, I can't think of any particular role Madonna would've done better... but whenever I see Sharon stone on-screen, I do squint and imagine it's M instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
