I actually loved Carrey in those movies, his berserk energy was perfectly suited.
Unpopular opinion; he was amazing as the Riddler.
I think people overlook the way his energy has a dark undertone sometimes. There’s something in his high energy performances that throws red flags for me, in a mental health emergency kinda way. But I like that in him.
I have a troubled family, and Jim Carrey reminds me of a particular uncle of mine who has severe bipolar and ADHD, among other things. I think most people find his performances funny because they can’t imagine being in the room with someone who behaves that way.
I don’t see Jim actually ever retiring for as long as he keeps getting cast in fun roles. Man seems to genuinely love acting.
And he also seems to pretty much be the person he is in movies in real life. What a blessing to make millions of dollars just being who you are.
He’s great in it. Can’t blame the man, he gave wonderful performances.
That said, cash speaks.
I’m not a huge fan of the sonic movies. But he is really fun in them.
Jim has no shortage of cash.
My guess is when he signed on for the first Sonic movie he committed to some number of sequels if they ended up being greenlit. Not that I think he hates to be in those movies, but it seems like a professional obligation to not leave them without one of the mainstay actors
To be fair, 2 years a solid break from most things. I could use 2 years off my job
Still not as fearless as Nicolas Cage.
You have much less inhibition when trying to claw out of enormous debt. Glad that Cage has got his feet back under him.
I always knew Carrey was an Adventure 2 fan.
To be fair, the trailers show him becoming an ally and dealing with his daddy issues. I can’t imagine them doing much more with the character, so this might end up being a sendoff.
In the games, Eggman has become an ally several times, but he always goes back to his plans of world domination. He wants to rule the world, so he’s not going to let anyone destroy it first.
Script, or check?
Maybe fun? That passage reads to me that he’s at the point of his career where he can pick and choose his work, and will only agree to it if he can goof off doing whatever the fuck he wants.
He does seem to be having a blast playing Robotnik in the first two
