Never though those words would pass my lips but its the way I'm beginning to feel. I've always enjoyed his films but latley I've just found them average and he doesn't compare to Fulci. I mainly enjoy Argento for the shock value atomosphere and music but after checking out a few of his films I hadn't seen I found it lacking. I was really dissapointed with Deep Red which had a few cool moments but was ultimatley average. I mean he's still better than 90% of the stuff out there I was just wondering what you guys thought? Does he deserve all the praise?

I'm watching Tenebre now so maybe this will change things for me.

argento is certainly the more talented of the two.fulci though a good director can be brutal at times and that can translate into excessive gore(all part of his charm) while argento has a better eye and all around story telling.

as for bad acting,your always going to lose a little of the performance in the translation...it's all forgivable.
