It just doesn't matter how he chooses his roles: he isn't a very good actor.

      Never liked him - I don't think the guy can act, never could.

            I have to differ. I enjoy his movies. They're fun and entertaining for the whole family. That's what I'm looking for when I go see a mov

              Cage doesn't make 'films' he makes movies, not great movie, but fun, watchable entertaining movies. that's why I like him and go to them.

              I always enjoy his movies, I think he picks the roles he likes to play. Sellout? Hardly... Smart, talented, and well paid..Absolutely.

              Choose?? He doesn't choose. He simply accepts every piece of cinematic trash his agents proposes. Such a shame. You could have been great.

                Cage is proving he can make any script plausible simply by being the lead.

                    By artistic reasons I mean I think he wants to have fun making movies. Adaptation was a great performance for him.

                      I don't care. I always watch all his movie. DO YOU CAGE; Screw the critics.

                        I think Nicolas Cage is great in ANY movie he is in. I think critics criticize too much. Isn't it the escapism we are looking?

                          I love Nicolas Cage. I would pay to hear him read the menu at McDonalds, which, by the way, is his next script...

                            I don't think Cage even KNOWS he has a choice about what movies to make.
