I respect him for Leaving Las Vegas and Lord of War, but man has he gone downhill... I saw the trailer for Season of the Witch and Drive Angry.. Dang Nicholas Cage is in so much debt because of his spending its a shame.. What do you think of Nicholas Cage?? I think he used to be a respected actor and has steadily gone downhill.....

I stopped watching his movies after "raising the Dead" that was the only movie I ever saw in a theater and actually left in the middle of.

I am honestly not a fan, and I swear that I am not just jumping on the bandwagon. :( I have never been fond of him or his performances. He can be decent, but I don't think that he's extraordinary and he irritates me for some reason.

Have you seen Adaptation.? Thats a pretty good showcase of the acting chops he manages to not fulfill with each passing piece of crap he's done. He is pretty damn awesome in Kick-Ass, though.

Adaptation is awesome...I admittedly forgot about that when writing my post. I will give him props for that one since it's probably the best movie he's ever done and he isn't his typical Nic Cage-y self. His role in Kick-Ass was cool but I couldn't see past his smugness there either.

I know him to be capable of growing a fine, luxurious mustache. What more do you need to know?

Under the right direction he can put forth a very good performance. It's a shame that he'll take quite literally any roll thrown his way. Nic Cage loves his money.

It really is a sadness that he hasn't done something with that much integrity since then. We can watch Adaptation. and Raising Arizona with a case of "what could have been".

I love him. He seems to genuinely enjoy acting, and knows how to turn bad films that take themselves too seriously into lulz-fests.

Do you mean "Bringing out the Dead"? that's one of my favorite movies :(

I think Cage is to the point that he's been in so many movies, you'd be really hard pressed to find one with him in that you didn't like. I don't mind him, though. He's fine.

It's been downhill.............and the fact that he lost millions isn't helping because now he will star in any piece of crap as long as the $$ is right.

Terrible actor. Everytime I see him in a movie, it's like seeing a breathless Nicholas Cage acting as Nicholas Cage as the character

I like him. Lord of War, Face/Off, and I have to say that I liked ConAir. I really want to see Season of the Witch though, IDC who's in it, there hasn't been a decent mature fantasy movie since LOTR. And however small the role Christopher Lee is in it so it doesn't matter. And Ron Pearlman is just, cool.

Pretty much what everyone else has said so far.

He's a good actor who has let himself down by taking on awful roles in awful movies. To star in something like The Rockand then ten years on star in Ghost Rider? I think he's got several great movies left in him though.

I do prefer him to other people like Julia Roberts, who seems to play the same person in every movie she does. Very little variation in her work.
