I just finished watching 'Gun' 2010 by 50cents in which Val Kilmer stars as well and I can't get my head around how such a prominent actor is making a string of unwatchable movies. Such a disappointment. And don't get me started on Nicholas Cage... Con Air and Face Off were the peak of his career. Everything went downhill after that. I mean, Ghost Rider? Seriously? You can’t be serious.

Its like using a diamond tiara to punch a nail in. VAL KILMER is good, but I sincerely don't like seeing him play ANOTHER COMIC BOOK HERO like Captain America or Avenger or Thor. He definitely has ISSUES, but ACTION MOVIES maybe is a better avenue than DRAMA. He nearly UPSTAGED TOM CRUISE in TOP GUN!! I think he ROCKS as a pilot, soldier, detective, or warrior. ICEMAN has always been my idol over MAVERICK. MAVERICK (Tom Cruise) is a midget, and it is laughable seeing him 'get it on' with a very "fleshy" and taller CHARLIE (Kelly McGillis). Can't help but chuckle to myself in the movie house!! My opinion is that, like in the "SAINT", Val is "not cagey or difficult... only ECCENTRIC." Most poets are. And Val IS a poet and composer. I guess when you are a SUPERSTAR, people build expectations of you that are unjustified. Val comes across as a "leading man" type, so people expect him to be 'gracious and polite' as the stereotype says. REALITY BITES, and stars are NOT what they seem. Val is a hard-working perfectionist, with a soft heart, and a sensitive ego -- hardly the "cuddly, charming, lovable" leading man stereotype. His marriage might have been a mistake, and I think he ought to be "more practical" in choosing mates in the future.. Val has a tendency to "go head over heels", then suddenly give the "cold shoulders" later. His first wife he met in WILLOW, which is NOT a very good movie (even for kids). And I guess he went OVERBOARD with that woman, and now, she wants her life back.. without him. I think Val will bounce back, and the only question is WHEN.

Maybe he was a bit distracted - but I still stand behind the man as an actor, and in my opinion he hasn't given a bad perfomance in the last 15 years - even Red Planet! Niall Guys,

Maybe he was a bit distracted – but I still stand behind the man as an actor, and in my opinion he hasn’t given a bad perfomance in the last 15 years – even Red Planet!

Are you honestly being serious ? I laughed so hard reading that I spit my soda all over my screen. Acting is an ability just like anything else. Some are good some are bad. I respect people who can act well just like I do with people who can sing well. Elvis a tortured genius ? Are you honestly being serious ?

Elvis was a tortured genius, incapable of protecting himself. Val is a is an actor, a fake, a liar. If Elvis is GOD then Val would be some jerk who drowned his brother. When are you going to get the point that ACTORS are always acting and not worth our time. I OWN the largest piece of pie (that is Holywood-London). Watch the movies and enjoy. Forget about the actor. If you would like a list of great men and ladies who are ACTORS, I would be Happy to supply. Daniel f – Val and Elvis are as different as celery and Spock!

He also gives to several charites, he has them listed on his site. Maybe the person looking for guidence to Val, should go to his site, and state your case there, you might find some help there. I have met Val, he was very nice, he has the gift of acting for so many years, And Val made KKBB to help RDJ to get back on his feet. Val has not given in, he's making films that he wants too. Plus he had a CD put out,A book of Poetry, He's still around full time. If likeing a actor, dosen't mean people fall to his feet, it's all about telling him how entertaining he has been. I absolutely think we are lucky to have a great actor, and many great stories he's told us, in movies.

I remember talking about him with Kevin Spacey in 1990 when Kev was doing National Anthems at Long wharf. I am posting for my son Craig. Val is his hero and I watch Tombstone with him every week. My son has a brain tumor and he sends me off to get letters from his idols. Sadly, Val and whacked Adam Ant are people I do not know. I have known everyone from Kate Hepburn, Burt Lancaster to his love Julia Roberts (who wrote and sent photos and a gift). Most actors have worked for me on celeb audio charity projects. I saved Val the space to record on Kate Hepburn's last project. Just look up Craig Braginsky. Val's agent never got back to me. Great actor, not nice fellow I guess. Mickey Rourke is another who will not reply. Patricia Arquette and my friends Jeremy Irons and Peter O'Toole also wrote to my monkey and namesake. I spent thousands buying Val's "Tombstone" gun (real 1882 colt)and knife direct from Caravan West/Peter Sherayko. My sweetie has a few months left and I have failed. Odd as I am known by most of Hollywood. Any suggestions? A petition (joking). In any event, my son wanted me to post that "Tombstone, Salton Sea and True Romance all ROCK!). I live near and know Chris Walken who adors Val. I bought the signed cd and we both enjoyed it. Thanks for reading a lost man's post (my 1st). Love to all you Kilmerites. Anyone who is helpful in my quest will get a film worn (by Val) thank you gift! Val is quite an actor.
