In the long run who do you think will come out more sucessful (career wise), Franco or Bloom? I'll go with James. Popularity wise I think Orlando. But thinking more so that James will go the distance.

James Franco is a much better actor. Much better. Bloom was good in Pirates of the Caribbean, but only mildly good.
I don't know about careers thought. Bloom already has a pretty good career set up for himself. Franco just needs a few leading roles.

Franco was great in the James Dean Movie.
And he was Incredible in Spider-Man 2 , so I believe he will be a force very soon.
Can't stand Bloom.

many can't stand Bloom, yet he might be the biggest star in the world today (movie star). If you look at what films hes been in, what films he going to be in the the next year or so, the guy is HUGE. IN reality, not many are bigger then him at the moment. He's on every magizine cover, talk shows. he's mentioned all the time. his first like 5 films have been blockbusters. He's been in so many films already and making so many more in the next year or 2. Everybody wants him. His steam from LOTR Success has not worn off, and he's still goin strong. He's got 2 pirite sequels coming so he is guarenteed successful for the next few years
James, however, i feel is the better actor. I think he will be huge in the future. just like bloom. I think James has more range.
franco was the best part of spidy 2 IMO and i wish they had more of him-peter together in the film

Probably James Franco Orlando ti me just seems to serious in his movies. He needs to do a bigger range of movies. Although Orlando does have quite a big fanclub :funny: I know a few of them myself and they're nuts.

As an actor, I like Franco more. He was just awesome in the Freaks and Geeks television show. I hope he gets some leading roles here soon.

James Franco is a much better actor. Orlando Bloom has a better carrer ahead of him, he has been a part of a lot of successful/big movies.

Oh for God's Sakes...Please:eek:
I think Franco's star will shine brighter after Spider-Man 3, where he plays the main villain......

Franco and Marla Sokloff broke up :(
I loved them together.
But yeah James Franco is a better actor and he's hotter too.

Well the question was "who do you think will come out more sucessful" not who is the best actor, or best lookin, or etc...
I think Bloom. Every director seem to want him in his movies. And he has his next 5 years lined up already and he is turning down offers all the time.
You can hate him, but that has nothing to do with it.

^James Franco has about 5 movies that will be coming out in the next couple years too though.

All those movies mentioned were huge but NOT BECAUSE of Bloom. MOst of the time he was the weakest part of a movie. And naming "Black Hawk Down" is ridicilous, because you see him only for a sec.
I dont hate him, I hate this whole hype about him, and its nothing more than a hype. As long as this hype and little girls falling for it exist, he'll stay more sucessful.
Bloom was good in Ned Kelly.
Antony

Tony Montana ha a really good point there. Saying Bloom caused the success of any of his movies is stupid. He has people like Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortinsen, Josh Hartnett, and Brad Pitt to thank for the success of his movies.

James Franco is all around more talented than Bloom, hopefully that translates to more success.

Hopefully, in time, people will simply get bored of Orlando. Then he will have no chance as he is not a very good actor. Over a long period of time I think James will do better.
You guys should seriously check out Ned Kelly when it comes to DVD. Bloom can act well enough if he's given a good script to work with.

I'm inclined to agree with that. Certainly Bloom is far from leading man material at the moment, and in none of the big films he's been in thus far (nor those set for the future) is he the lead actor.
He's certainly very popular with the younger female audience (which in itself is a very big market), but because this is so much based on his looks and being 'hot' then this inevitably shortens the length of his career towards the top end of the ladder.

Franco is a better actor, but Bloom is more popular with teenage girls, and he has more movies coming, including Kingdom Of Heaven, so...sucessfull? Bloom.... but I wish it were Franco.
I dont really care and to be honest success doesnt mean that one is a good actor or vice versa... or has a long time carrier in Hollywood so time will tell... re my opinion on Orlando... I am just fed up with this Bloomia and want to vomit... lol

James Franco is much hotter, I would so do him.
But Orlando cute too, but he has a nasty skin color, it's like...beige or something. I don't agree with it. Also, the pubic facil hair needs to go.

Well, if Muffy is on the trendy side of things she may know a thing or two about how annoying shaving is.
Also, yes, as a guy, it is annoying.
Second, anyone that says Orlando Bloom is the biggest star today really should lay off of whatever drug composes about 14% of their blood. Seriously. It's for the good of the land.

Do you mean me? I never said Orlando Bloom is the biggest star today, no way, far from it.

James is by far the better actor. Orlando Bloom just got lucky with some big movies & success. I would like to see Orlando really prove his acting skills. Hes not a bad actor, but he just hasn't proven himself yet.

Bloom is not in Franco's league!
James is realy a great actor.

Good actor does not nessesary equals success. Seems like people here doesnt understand that.....
Muffy
07-07-2004, 06:54 PM
Well James is really hot but Orlando was also very hot in Troy...same with Eric Bana, I think i'm obsessed with him he's so sexy. And I honestly never thought Brad Pitt was tha hot until I saw Troy, he's so buff and....gold.

I think that orlando will be around a little longer, because to me franco isnt as good of an actor. IMO
