to be honest it doesnt matter who played who or who was better. whats really interesting is they both did these films at different times and yet they act hunters character exactly the same... goes to show what an over the top personality dr. thompson had...
Nice, I haven't seen this. He does a pretty amazing job of en-capturing Thompson's mannerisms and speech! I agree, I wouldn't compare him to Johnny Depp. It would be easy because they played the same character, but they're both excellent.
both of them are good this was the semi biographical movie and really you cant say which is better because there is going to be a third film out in theatres soon and that film will be "The Rum Diary" with Johnny starring in it as Paul Kemp
i heard that to nail the character, bill murray lived with hunter thompson. on the first night at his house, thompson tied bill murray to a chair and threw him in a pool and then rescued him, this was all to make them friends
I never said anything about either one of them being better, so what's your problem asshole? Who gives a fuck what country you're from. Apparently ignorance and stupidity know no borders. Go pick a fight with someone on your own IQ level retard.
too be honest, my opinion is a way better actor then johhny depp. bill murray was very good freindswith hunter s thompson, he rallied with him alot back in the day and he knew how he acted and how he talked. bill murray was a great actor of hunter s thompson if u really studied the guy. johnny depp was a good actor as well but to be honest he acted like hunter from the book, not how he sometimes studdered and confused..bill murray does a great walk of hunter and sounds n looks just like him.
Your opinion is a better actor than Johnny Depp? Careful with your wording there. . . . Johnny Depp was closer friends with Thompson than Murray was. I do agree that he got the walk down better than Depp, but I wouldn't call either of them a better actor than the other. Both Depp and Murray studied Thompson restlessly for months before acting as him, and they both did outstanding jobs.
man now i know why murray was staring so wistfully out the window at those parties. get a little high and this shit DOES sound weak to the ear. and you Know Thompson himself was quite high for most of his life. Respect to Bill Murray, but fuck the Buffaloes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what ever...hunter was a fucking werido creep anyway who was into bizaro pedo snuff films. guy was fucked up. google all the bizzare acounts regarding his 'suicide' and snuff films.
i think you deserve more than a simple FUCK YOU. i mean you didn't just type, "thompson sucks" after all. how about this: if all you wanna do is google this shit then that's a bit lazy, look into his works and he's just into bestiality and snuff films, drugs and alternative thinking. no pedo shit here. come on man. get fucked up without fuckin up
For everybody comparing Murray and Depp, stop. Its apples and oranges, Johnny was playing the alter ego of Hunter, Murray was playing the man himself, Johnny did awesome for his part, and Bill did awesome for his. No comparing.
@Numerater It's not quite apples and oranges. It's apples and a different type of apples. Murray and Depp are inevitably going to be compared because the roles they're playing are so similar.
who ever did the better acting job is neither here nor there, but what i can tell you is this,.. . hollywood is so full of shit with these new -actors- more like head shots with no soul depth or any respect for the craft of being in the moent taking risks and possesing the talent to even wipe their own asses. the best actors have passed and when depp,deltoro,penn,have passed aswell so will the last of the A M E R I C A N buffalo. by. Jay
Although I think both Depp & Murray are great actors, for very different reasons, and I think both of their performances as Hunter S. Thompson were amazing, for very different reasons, I have to say that I think Bill Murray's work was the better of the two. Blessings!
look it doesn't matter who did better playing Hunter S. Thompson or how much money it fucking made. It's simple you like or not. I thought it was a fucking awesome picture and so was fear and loathing they're both fucking fantastic movies, Thompson is a genius, Bill Murray and Johnny Depp both did great jobs. Buy the ticke, take the ride!
This is the interpretation that formed my visual image of Thompson, whether it was "true" or not so much, and I've always loved it and found it endearing. Murray is brilliant, and in retrospect I think he captured the hapless side of Thompson, which Depp really didn't touch on. I don't think Hunter was ever in "control" of the situation, but that in his prose he made it appear so. Murray's Hunter is indeed more human, and funny, and probably closer in spirit to the real Thompson.
I'd say this. Murray does capture the more natural, real side of Hunter S. Thompson. However, Depp does a fantastic job paying attention to the subtle nuances of the guy. He does a better job with the voice, movement, and mannerisms. It's so hard to judge because how much Thompson is Duke, and how much Duke is Thompson? It's tough.
Im sorry to Johnny fans but bill takes the cake for this movie, hands down. Really, he captures the average every day stoner/dontgiveashit/getfuckedupeveryday person that he was meant to be.
Agreed, Johnny Depp's performance as Raoul Duke was almost like Thompson's fantasy version of himself whereas Murray's is more realistic. Thompson himself was pleased with Murray's performance, but he hated the movie
I agree about the "fantasy" part of it. Johnny is something of a character actor, and I think his job for Fear and Loathing was to capture Thompson's alter ego.

what the hell would that accomplish? you'd still get busted smoking a joint with a cigarette filter on it! landlubber is right - it aint like the 70's
Sorry, but Depp was basing his character more along the lines of Raoul Duke, Hunters alter ego so to speak. Exageration was the key to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Thus the way Depp acted. However, it was quite an excellent performance. Bill Murray was more along the lines of the real Hunter.
Agreed, Johnny Depp's performance as Raoul Duke was almost like Thompson's fantasy version of himself whereas Murray's is more realistic. Thompson himself was pleased with Murray's performance, but he hated the movie
