He's a horrible actor, the movies he was 'good' in was thanks to directors and editors polishing that turd

Mr Nobody and Dallas Buyers Club.
Dude gets respect just for those roles.
Also, Thirty Seconds to Mars ain't bad

He's really good in Requiem for A Dream.
That and the two movies you listed are the only things I've seen where he was any good, though, and his general pretentious douchebaggery on set with his mEtHoD aCtInG means his good roles will continue to be few and far between.

Requiem for a dream is the one. 100% convinced he is talented after that one. Piece of shit human outside of that but he's a talented actor at least.

I think he does alright in fight club

His performance in Panic Room is the single worst I've ever seen.

He's more talented than people give him credit for. It's not easy to move beyond being typecast as the "pretty boy."
Same with Zac Efron.

No. He's a good actor but unfortunately for him, he's had a few roles that absolutely bombed such as Joker and Morbius. That's caused some people to believe he is a poor actor. In reality, the directors were mostly responsible for those movies bombing and failing to utilize Leto's talent.

For the Joker in specific, the bar was already very high for the character.

He absolutely does not. He is a brilliant actor, and you are not having a shower thought.

Nah he sucks

Brilliant? Now that's a stretch

He as an amazing actor. But a fucking douchebag.
Anyone who says otherwise has clearly never seen Requiem for a dream

He's had a couple of fantastic perfomances, but he is very inconsistent when it comes to the quality of his acting, and more often than not he does indeed suck.
