Mel Gibson isn’t always a model citizen, but he’s reportedly headed back to the big screen in the thriller Edge of Darkness (which just sold to Warner Bros., according to Variety), his first big role in seven years.
And you know what? I kind of missed him. I mean, this is Mad Max we’re talking about. Martin Riggs. William Wallace. Before pouring his heart and soul into directing The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto, the Aussie Oscar winner was a dependable, bankable, likable actor. And while there’s absolutely no excuse for bad behavior, there’s also no substitute for a real movie star — and they’re in short supply these days.
So how about it, PopWatchers? Does Mel deserve another shot? Or would you rather send him back Down Under for good?
Absolutely – bring’em back!
OF COURSE! He is a fantastic actor and we have really missed his presence. Someone give the man a really JUICY part!!
I was a big Mel Gibson fan. Lethal Weapon (1 & 2, especially), Forever Young, Braveheart, Bird on a Wire, What Women Want, Maverick & Signs…all movies I really enjoyed. His behavior was horrible and I do have a problem with it, but people make mistakes & it is in my religion to forgive. I’d love to see him act again, but I have to say his new project doesn’t sound like the kind of thing I’d want to see.
Mel Gibson is a boone to any movie he is involved in, in front of or behind the camera. I hope he continues acting for many years to come!
I like him! Welcome back, Mel.
YEA!!!
Bring him back… and this time around make sure he goes to an acting school before he gets in front of the camera. Sorry, Mel, you are good with faces, but that doesn’t mean acting.
Mel’s behavior was definitely terrible. But he deserves forgiveness along with all the other movie stars. There are stars that have been forgiven for much worse. You know a sleeper movie that I loved? Payback. I’d love to see Mel back on the big screen!
uhh.. Yeah!
I will welcome him back with open arms. One of my favorite movies all time is Braveheart. Probably my favorite epic. More Mel!!
Not only is Mel Gibson a bonafide movie star like you say, Adam, but he is a great actor. All anyone has to do is watch the scene in Ransom when his character tells the kidnapper off, hears a shot and – thinking he has just caused his son’s death – breaks down in the balcony. AMAZING!
Welcome back, Mel. Don’t ruin your chance, please. Plenty of people still want to see you onscreen!
It’s about time—I LOVE Mel Gibson. So he said a racist comment and got caught; doesn’t make him a bad person. I absolutely love watching him in movies, and can’t wait to see him succeed again. In fact, I’ll probably go see his next movie no matter what it is!

I think Mel has paid his debt to society, so to speak. Bring him back! Can’t wait. Hope he does some comedies though. He is funny.
