I actually loved Carrey in those movies, his berserk energy was perfectly suited.

Unpopular opinion; he was amazing as the Riddler.

I think people overlook the way his energy has a dark undertone sometimes. There's something in his high energy performances that throws red flags for me, in a mental health emergency kinda way. But I like that in him.

I have a troubled family, and Jim Carrey reminds me of a particular uncle of mine who has severe bipolar and ADHD, among other things. I think most people find his performances funny because they can't imagine being in the room with someone who behaves that way.
