I don't particularly like his acting style, completely outside anything he does as a person. iRobot and Men In Black are some of his better roles, but like Jeff Goldblum or Eddy Murphy, he can only play himself. I don't think it works in iRobot that well though, but that's more of a casting choice than bad acting.

I agree he's pretty one note but I do think it works for that and Men in Black. He's a detective in both so yeah, not a lot of range, but it was more subdued from wacky to just sarcastic in I, Robot. I do like sarcastic jerk as a character type which may say something about me.

Yeah, in MIB he has Agent K to play off of. MIB 3, where he's the sole driver of the narrative, was a weak entry partly because of this.

He has plenty of good movies and is an objectively good actor, but I think his style needs to be used well, and i, Robot doesn't quite hit it. Maybe if Dr. Calvin was a stronger character rather than a worrywort and source of romantic tension, I'd like his performance more.
