For helping to rebuild the Ninth Ward in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Brad Pitt has proven what kind of man he really is. ...Continue »
Unlike the hundreds of celebrities who stood by and complained how awful it was that New Orleans was so badly damaged after the most destructive storm in recent history, Brad Pitt got off his backside and put his money where his mouth is. He formed the "Make It Right Foundation" and organized a small army of engineers, architects, material suppliers and laborers to begin reconstructing the homes that the federal and state governments refused to do themselves. For his efforts and his accomplishments in Louisiana, Brad Pitt deserves to be commended. The families who have been able to return to their homes and begin to rebuild their lives will always know that he is more than just a movie star: he's a hero.

Okay so he's cool and he's sexy and he has a really hot body and blah blah blah. In my oponion he's overrated and I think people should just stop making his head bigger and bigger with all the attention he's getting from the media. He never changes his style. He's always so calm and cool and has this stood straight never curved thing going which I admit is great for some characters like for his roles in ' Troy ' and ' Mr. and Mrs. Smith ' but for other it's just lame. Like in his new movie ' Burn After Reading ', He tried making himself funny after lots of years of being plain and empty but instead of funny he came out as goofy and stupid. Also Benjamin Button was too overrated. The whole movie he just sat there and talked. His expressions never changed. It was as if he was a straight line that goes on forever. His roles are loved because the writers did a great job writing his characters and he just adds the sexy factor, nothing more. I think he's way too overrated !!!

Brad Pitt is, I grudgingly admit, a very good actor. Obviously he's a handsome man, but that would normally bias me against him. He's done some great work. Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, Seven, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith are all quality movies. The first Oceans movie was good, but the subsequent sequels were lame and self-indulgent.

He usually chooses interesting projects and performs them well. And he isn't an overly preachy actor, which is good in my book.
