Oh, come one. Harrison Ford is a good actor. Sure, he only plays one character, but I don't think that makes someone a bad actor, just an actor without range. And he actually does a good job in Blade Runner. I just watched the DC last weekend, btw, and was impressed at how well it held up over time. Sure the music is vintage 80s, but other than that, it's quite timeless.
I hear you, pixelbend. I had similar thoughts once watching Shakespeare -- the thought 'boy, he sure uses a lot of cliches', and the realizing that, no, he's where the cliches come from.
