I disagree with most of those but even if they were true, all of those would still be the fault of the studio bosses.
Actors all look the same? You bet they do, we market tested the top five male face shapes and we make sure every actor’s face is modelled on the most popular.
Writing derivative? You bet! Our customer surveys said they love that curly haired kid from Stranger Things! That’s why he’ll be the lead character in three separate Stranger Things spin-offs.
That's not new at all. The amount of acting in any Rat Pack movie is about zero. A lot of classic black and white comedies and musicals are just actors doing vaudeville or Broadway schtick with a camera running.
It can still be fun and enjoyable, but it's not Acting.
I think Joel Kinnamen is fine in the roles he's cast in - maybe he doesn't have much range (I'm not saying he hasn't got range, just that I've not seen him in anything other than things like Altered Carbon or The Suicide Squad); I think Chris Pratt is exactly the same.
Joel does stoic tough guys with a dead-pan sense of humor extremely well and doesn't stand out as miscast in the things I see him in.
