Exactly, that's my point. People have different opinions about acting, and some people see things that others don't. It comes down to what YOU think good acting is. So there will always be fans of Cooper. But maybe as they see more movies with much better acting, they will gain a deeper appreciation of great acting like I did.

You contradicted yourself. Before you had said, "Yeah, he's pretty bad," but now you say it "comes down to what YOU think good acting is." So now, in other words, you're saying it's all relative and there's no absolute truth about quality of acting. Therefore your original statement"he's pretty bad"can't be true, because you stated it as an absolute irrespective of personal opinion.
If you had simply said, in the first place, "I don't find him convincing," nobody could've argued with that, and you wouldn't have had any need to qualify/contradict yourself. -

Couldn't agree more, coolbrett. Yes, he does all the right things, goes through all the motions in great detail - but we can see his technique, the fact that he's applying himself. He doesn't quite live the part. It really takes me out of the movie. I cannot fathom how amazing directors like David O. Russell can't see it. Massively over-rated actor and very often, an annoying presence on screen.

Yes. He's the male Anne Hathaway, although mercifully he doesn't mug relentlessly at the camera as she does. He
is
just as self-conscious as she is - everything he does onscreen is for effect and is completely false. He couldn't disappear into a role if he tried. -

I have watched Silver Lining Playbook. Jennifer Lawrence carried him. Same can be said about the entire cast of American Hustle. He tried so hard in both movies to push himself above everyone. It became annoying after 30 minutes.

I'd rather watch a Reeves movie than BC. Reeves is bad for completely different reasons though.
Examples of great actors acting - check out Jack Lemmon in 'Save the Tiger' and Gene Hackman in 'Mississippi Burning', 'French Connection I & II'; Jack Nicholson in 'About Schmidt', 'As good as it gets'; Gary Busey in 'The buddy holly story'. -

Cooper is often praised by women and gay men who are, inexplicably, taken with his looks.
He's not even that good looking.

His comedic timing is excellent. I wish to God he would still d238o comedy again in the future. Enough with the so called Oscar-material films.
What does it matter what anybody thinks? Most people don't think. -

What? Have you even seen AMERICAN HUSTLE,THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK,or THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES? He's good in ALL three of those,especially the first two. And he's handsome, but not in that lame Hollywood pretty-boy wayhe's attractive in a more real-life regular guy way. I actually wasn't even going to see THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK until I saw him interviewed on the Charlie Rose show on PBS having a deep discussion about not only the film and what it was really about (a guy dealing with bipolar depression) and that's when I decided to go see it ( it was being marketed as this happy-go-lucky feel-good Hollywood filmwhich it's not, it's something different.) But anyway, as far as I'm concerned, he's proven himself a real talent to watch form now on.
