Who do you think is a better actor? I thought it'd be funny/interesting to compare the two because neither man is having a good PR moment right now (though it's understandably much worse for Damon).
Both men leave me lukewarm for the most part, despite showing a lot of promise in the early days. McGregor is TAYYYY-rrible at most accents and a lot of his more recent performances are almost devoid of the natural spark and vitality that you saw in his Trainspotting days. Damon OTOH is just bland and charmless despite "objectively" fulfilling the demands of the role. If I had to choose, I think Ewan in top form is rangier and slightly more exciting to watch. Damon is more consistent, though, and probaly has less egregious lows.

Damon
He's been one of my favourite actors for 20 years or so now. I do like McGregor, and now and then he has really impressed me, but not too often.

McGregor is very underrated and has some top level performances but Damon is better.

Ewan for sure ! Matt is a little bit too "same-y" for my taste.

McGregor has a more interesting filmography, while I prefer Damon as an actor. Not particularly care for any of them though.

I picked Damon, whom I consider to be one of the most consistently good actors working right now. As you say, McGregor's best performances are better and more interesting than Damon's, but his worst performances are startlingly terrible. I have to say too that McGregor has a lot of dreck on his résumé - like Julianne Moore, he seems to work too often for the payday and isn't terribly concerned with quality.

Damon has gotten much better parts over the course of his career so it isn't an entirely fair comparison, but I'd say he's both more consistent and better at his best.

I would have to go with Damon. I'm also not a huge fan of either, and Damon does have the benefit of better roles, but I also think he's the stronger performer period. You can fall in love with Ewan McGregor, but not so much for his acting.

I feel the same way about both actors really, where neither one has impressed by too much but I generally don't mind either. I'll go with Damon bc he has *some* charisma and I'd pick a Damon film over one with the latter. Although McGregor's filmography shows more depth and versatility with the range of characters he's played. I've just never warmed up to the guy.
