I really respect these two guys when it comes to acting
but who do u think is better
or who do u prefer in acting?

I really struggle to say who is the better of the two really.

But I would have to go for Kevin Costner because he has the best performances in Dances with Wolves and JFK.

Cage has more overall good films becuase kevin appears in a lot of turkeys.

But these two are not anywhere near the best actors out there.

kevin offcourse in waterworld

Words and Opposite.

Nicolas Cage is a A' list actor who draws box office with millions while Kevin Costner in the other hand is a box office slop. The only Kevin movie that I believe really tried in Box office is Bodyguard (with Whitney) and Robinhood. Btw, Kevin has finished writing Bodyguard 2 and Jessica Simpson is sure in talk to work with him.

Even at the moment Dakota Fanning controls box office than Kevin Costner.

What determined a good actor is how well, their appearances will draw people to the movie and make sales. Thats why you see someone like Desmond Elliot in every dan movie in Nigeria. In a re-occuring roles.

I have to disagree 100% with this. Box Office does not mean the main star is a good actor.

The box office for all the new Star War movies was massive but the acting was really poor!

Arnold has many more box office receipts than Morgan Freeman but you cannot in a million years say that Arnold is a better actor.

Box Office earnings are down to many factors and not just if the main guy is a good actor.

Read the qoute again? "How well, their appearances will draw people to the movie and make sales. As a filmmaker, I believe I should know what casting is.

2. Star Wars will make money no matter who is in it. How many movie is like Star Wars? Even Harry Potter book sales alone makes money than any well organized movies  shown in cinema.

You are right on the rest of your comment.

Btw, How many times Morgan Freeman plays a center piece of story? How many times have you heard people saying I'm going to watch a movie because its Morgan Freeman movie (may be in UK). Morgan as always playing support to a center figure.

Being an actor myself I have a bit of insight and I am only disagreeing with the statement that implies being able to draw a crowd to a movie is the sign of a good actor.

All your points only support my point.

maybe what you should have said is

a good actor does not neccesaryily mean a good star.

I hope you get my drift.

But you will all agree with me that they are both good actors

Yes I agree 100%

KEvin costner sucks!!
Nicholas cage was tight in con air, face off and 24hrs

Nicolas Cage for Face Off with John Travolta, he is a good actor and should be compared to people like John Travolta.

Kevin Costnar, also good with romantic bodyguard, and so on, but i think nicolas is an action star and Kevin fits more with the Drama, romance staff

All good, but mostly i'll go for NICHOLAS CAGE.
he rocks!!!

nicholas cage rocks.

kevin is ok but he is kindda cut out for deeply intense and dark characters. While Nick cage can take on any character anyday anytime.

Go Nick.You rock my world.

kEVIN'S GREAT
He acted so well in UNTOUCHABLES

mayne, really its hard to choose between bot of them and the author has really hit a nerve here cos his mentioning my 2 best actors there, before i could choose i had to ask my whole family in a vote, this is how it went:
my dad:he goes for cage, thinks kevin acts too many mysteriois parts
my mom:goes for kevin, she loves the bodyguard
my sis:goes for kevin too, loves the untouchables and robin hood

i have to go for kevin, but i admit that cage is banging too

both

both

costner sucks!

Costner. I HATE Cage.

who just said cage sucks?? are u blind?? lol

@ esylnera
y dont u like me?

eslynera:

who just said cage sucks?? are u blind?? lol

I did. He sucks like crap. Are you blind? He's terribly ugly.

hey, are we talkin about ugliness in here? NO, infact, costner is uglierrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,
Nicholas is just too good to be compared with that
THEY'RE ALL GOOD , B ; BUT ofcourse cage leads this part, sorry oooh

cages movies r good tho
much better than kevin costner's

Cage is TERRIBLE. I can't stand his movies. No, really. I can't. Costner on the other hand IS a real man. He's hot for his age. He's a great actor. I don't find Cage attractive, I don't even think he's a good actor even though 10000 billion people disagree with me.

yea they will

and yeah, they should.

Too bad. Oh and 1000000 billion people agree with me. Suck on that.

if they live in the 40's

Kevin Costner all d way, dude is sexy. Nicholas is too dull for me  

not another one

just sayin my piece
