Jurassic World Dominion is just the latest example of Hollywood trying to convince us that Chris Pratt of all people is a movie star. justbrizigs on the would-be leading man:
, it felt, on the surface, like this was a star in the making. The casting of Pratt as the scrappy, wise-cracking head of a ragtag team of intergalactic misfits, off his winsome turn as’s good-hearted goofball Andy Dwyer, remains one of the MCU’s more inspired casting decisions. Pratt’s clear knack for comedic timing and embodiment of a loveable idiot translated seamlessly to the blockbuster role of the brash Quill.
That’s too bad, because Pratt doesn’t do “funny” anymore, beyond continuing the MCU role of Peter Quill. The only “funny” roles Pratt seems to take now, the roles that made him into a household name, are voice acting parts in animated films, like the. He also plans to voice esteemed characters like Mario in the still-untitledfilm—two famously mute characters in need of Pratt’s particular blockbuster brand of snark.
As a serious, dramatic star—flying solo or as one of a group—Pratt just doesn’t have the stuff. You know, the stuff that makes movie stars, movie stars. Pratt lacks versatility, the skill to transition from comedy to drama, and any modicum of gravitas. His richly expressive, doughy comedy face has been replaced by a chiseled, handsome stoicism sheltering absolutely nothing underneath.
To give him some benefit of the doubt, I’m sure that part of Pratt’s flailing dramatic abilities can be blamed on his choice in roles. He’s either got a bad agent or bad taste, or a little bit of both. But it’s hard to say if his public persona could be forgiven if he ever decided to return to comedy, the genre where he’s clearly more comfortable and skilled.
