For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.

But Chris Pratt for me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Chris Pratt is one of my big ones... Can't stand the guy

Charlie Hunnam is not good, has a silly face, and cannot deliver lines.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I think that's honestly why I think he's fun. His king Arthur movie is a hardcore guilty pleasure as someone who enjoys the actual king Arthur myths...

Why the fuck did they try to make him a superhero???

It's just blind stupid fun but they don't have an ego attached like the rocks movies do

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Oof a lot of ppl like him

Collin Farrel and Kristin Stewart.

They're just not good actors. They've been in a couple good movies, but those movies succeed despite, not because of them.

Owen Wilson. Something about him just makes me queasy.

Adam Sandler, with the exception of punch drunk love, maybe. I wanted to like tough cut gems, but I have up or of serving hand cringe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yo, came here to say Owen Wilson! I can't stand him. It makes me sad that he's in all those Wes Anderson movies, because he's a good director otherwise.... :-/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

The Owen Wilson co-written ones are the best by miles. I will fight over this.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He did an incredible job in Django Unchained, but other than that I would agree with you. I don't believe it is his fault though, more a result of how he is always cast.

[–] blarth 2 points 1 day ago

Agreed, but I still love Inception.

Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible... and still they are in sooo many german movies.

Tom Cruise I just don't like anything about him

Will Smith, because he's annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am no fan of Tom Cruise, but his performance in Tropic Thunder is a god damned masterpeice

Hate the person, love the actor. He's made loads of good movies, so I can't complain

I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don't really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they're used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named "Gibson".

So I've renamed him after Mel Brooks.

I mean there's a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

  • Danny Masterson
  • Bill Cosby
  • Kevin Spacey
  • James Franco
  • Kevin Sorbo
  • Tom Cruise

So it's not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

For the dumbest reasons, I can't enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she's absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain't great. I also didn't enjoy Heather Graham's acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock's acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the "Hollywood accounting" too, money laundering and all of that.

Basically, if you're enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who's gonna go straight to Hell, no "Go" no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?

Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What's the deal with Sorbo?

For the most part I’d agree. But he was honestly pretty good in Dallas Buyers Club. Most everything else I can think of is shit.

Nick Cage.

Man’s not a bad actor, but he’s often cast in roles he has no earthly business being in.

Honestly, 7/10 of his castings are way off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You beat me to it. I like(d) him in his early career, then it got to the point where pretty much everything I saw that had him in it sucked, so if he was in a movie, it was a sign to me to skip it. I have had a bit of a change of heart in some of his latest stuff, I'll at least consider watching it if there's a modicum of evidence that there are redeeming qualities to the movie overall.

The other aspect of it is that I used to think he was good looking when he was young, and then sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s he just seemed to turn physically repulsive to me. Part of it is his hair. I think if he ever got a good hair cut or played a part that involved wearing a decent hair piece, it might not be so bad.

His acting is hammy, but he does that on purpose. His philosophy on acting is the method thing is good but it isn't an artistic performance. He puts his personality on the character.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@notgivingmynametoamachine Come on. "Valley Girl" was a classic 😎 Fer sure Fer sure.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Kevin Hart- doesn't act, plays himself but doesn't lean into that like Ryan Reynolds does. Will Smith- more of the above in recent years Jonah Hill- something inside me screams asshole every time I look at him Tom Cruise- he can take his propaganda elsewhere.
