Os1ris 08-15-05 05:46 PM

Um....you could have actually matched up actors that compare to each other in some sense :bored:..... but anyways Denzel is better

Nynth Degree 08-15-05 05:49 PM

I don't really see how these 2 are comparable, lol. Norton was in the best film of 2003 though - 25th Hour, directed by Spike Lee. If you haven't seen it, you need to 'cuz it's godly. He's also been in:

Primal Fear
Death to Smoochy
The Score
The People vs. Larry Flint
Red Dragon

^Some damn good movies right there. He's one hell of an actor, and so is Denzel.

v/ denzel for john Q and training day...
although tha score was dope... ed norton playing a retarded guy... wow

Lyriclesolja 08-16-05 04:28 PM

Denzel is better by far.......but Ed was good in Fight Club

Serial 08-16-05 09:18 PM

Edward Norton has more talent as an actor.. he has the ability to play different roles. Denzel plays basically the same roles throughout his career.

I mean Edward Norton can play a million different characters, its hard to believe that the guy from American History X is the same guy as the one in Fight Club, I mean damn. You also forgot The 25th Hour, another great movie from Norton.

I like Denzels movies but Norton accounts for 4 of my top 10 movies.

Norton is also married to Salma Hayek... one of the luckiest men alive.

noname 08-16-05 10:30 PM

denzel all the way........no contest

Magic5 08-16-05 11:05 PM

Movies I liked from Edward Norton -

American History X
Fight Club
25th Hour

Movies I liked from Denzel Washington -

Antwone Fisher
Training Day
John Q
Man On Fire

I don't know.. in a sense I like Edward Norton more, but I've like more of Denzel's movies, so I'll vote for him.

Edward Norton is dope as shit though.

Magic5 08-16-05 11:06 PM

For the people who said "no contest," you guys are dumbasses.

noname 08-16-05 11:06 PM

Red dragron was pretty dope too...nobody mentioning that...

Magic5 08-16-05 11:17 PM

I've never even heard of that..

fluidmoon 08-16-05 11:20 PM

Magic5 08-16-05 11:24 PM

Denzel hands down.....Ed Norton has talent as an actor an is obviously a legend, but Denzel has played too many good roles in his career to ever be fucked with...

anxiety 08-17-05 05:14 PM

Like Mimesis said, anyone saying Denzel hands down or no contest, you are morons... They are both good in my opinion, neither are even great... Norton is just a better actor.

Denzel strikes me as a natural talent...whereas Edward Norton seems like he might have gone to school to learn to act


Denzel is the better actor because he makes you wanna go see the movie for his performance...Edward Norton doesn't have that effect
