Hey MGBSG1, nice selection of actors. I agree with you on Anthony Hopkins (probably the best actor we'll ever see in our lifetime). And Jim Carrey and Denzel are also one of my favorites. (Just as a side note: who cares if people laugh at your pick of Jim Carrey. He's one of my favorites too. It doesn't matter what other people think... only what you think)

Now take a look at the IMDb page for each of the actors you just listed. Have a look specifically at their first several films. As you can see, they are all mostly low-rated films. Before they ever became a huge success, they had a good 10 years of poor/average films.

Also look at your favorite movies. Check the IMDb pages of the actors who starred in those movies and you will see the same thing. Before they ever starred in your favorite movies of all time, they had plenty of low-rated films which not many people cared about.

So my point is, Amanda's film career has literally only just begun. The actors you've listed are 20-50 years ahead of her. I'm sure she will be at that level in 20 years as well. It takes a lifetime of movie making to get recognized as one of the best. And all the bests had shakey starts and tons of low-rated films. I actually think Amanda is on a very good start for only 5 years of movie making. She's only 22 years old. Give her time
