Paul Rudd. Deeply uninteresting to watch or listen to.
Keira Knightly, in my opinion she seems fake. I don’t understand how is she praised for her roles.
Even in Pride and Prejudice? I thought she did well as Elizabeth Bennett there.
Especially there. I’ve seen older versions of the movie and read the book, and she was just not believable. For me at least. That is what I expect from an actor, to be believable and let me immerse myself in the story. It does not happen with her.
All of them…
Zendaya, very boring actress
She’s very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She’s good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.
Yeah, I think her and Sydney Sweeney are both really good in Euphoria. Sweeney’s meltdown was great, and funny.
She had a chance in dune, instead she played chani as “MJ from the desert”.
a nepo actor, through tom holland. another one is gal gadot.
Ryan Reynolds. I’d be hesitant to say “everyone likes him” because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.
Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn’t be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.
I hate that he became Scorsese’s new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.
Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let’s be honest, there’s no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.
I can’t believe I forgot about Nicolas Cage!
Nice call!
The man does not have a single molecule of acting ability anywhere within his soul.
Yeah but nobody likes him
🤷♂️ guess I’m nobody
Oh jeez I’m sorry dude it’s ok here’s a point up or whatever we call it here. For what it’s worth I remember I did enjoy this one movie where he plays these twin writers or something. And that was double Cage right there
Haha, no worries man. It’s just a light hearted conversation.
I’ll meet you half way and say that even though I enjoy his movies, I don’t think I’d like hanging out with him
I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.
Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.
Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him
Exact opposite feelings here, and I generally have a hard time suspending disbelief. I remember seeing The Basketball Diaries (this was before Titanic) and being blown away by his acting. I’d say this is a rare example of an actor being held back by good looks. A lot of folks have just not wanted to admit that this particular heartthrob has genuine talent. To contrast with, for example, Keanu, or Clooney.
He’s the modern Robert Redford
Apt, never noticed that parallel
I don’t generally have an issue with Leo but the imposter syndrome comment is on point. He does have a vibe and that description sums it up well.
Elijah Wood…for totally destroying TLOTR with his acting
Upvoted because indeed you are the only one
Mark wahlberg makes my skin crawl
Ctrl+f “Mark”
Cool, it’s already here. Me too.
He beats up Asian people for fun you know.
Pray with me.
He’s the only actor I can think of I actively boycott other than Gal Godot. Aside from his violent racism and American nationalism which is all well documented, I just absolutely loathe the type of character he likes to play; the macho snarky asshole who feels like he got kicked out of basic training and makes being a veteran his whole personality.
There’s few archetypes I hate more than the “former soldier who could kill a man, harbouring some deep unnerving instinct”, or the “American in a truck who loves the flag and is just a hard working guy”, and somehow he always plays and glamorises both, despite not actually being either.
Mahkie Mahk
Pedro Pascal
Yeah this fucking guy lol he’s everywhere
He has good comedic timing. I enjoyed him onSNL
Ya everyone likes him but me. Oh well
Cringe comedy actors like Ferrell. Just saying or doing stupid cringeworthy shit that really isn’t funny to make a situation more uncomfortable and unbelievable.
I agree with this comment in general, but don’t think Ferrell is a good example. Or really, maybe he is a good example, but the way his movies are shot isn’t a good example.
In Ferrell movies, the gag is that the actor says or does something outrageously dumb, and then the other actors largely go along with it, either pumping up the idea, or being coerced by it, or stomping it down in a hilariously insulting fashion. If there is ever a moment of awkward silence, it lingers for a second before the scene ends. Arrested Development is another example of this being done well. It’s a farce - the actions are so bizarre and outlandish that we can’t possibly imagine ourselves doing it, so we are absolved of sympathy for the cartoonish actor and enjoy seeing them fumble their way through the scene.
But there is a new wave of “cringe comedy” that seems to not understand what a farce is. A character will do something just beyond the limit of what we could imagine ourselves doing, so we can still identify with the character. Then the other characters react in the way people would react in real life - with stern condemnation or cold shouldering. And the scene goes on and on and on. It is terrible.
Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel and Ben Stiller are the 3 horsemen of the comedy apocalypse
Julia Roberts.
She has way too many teeth, I’m scared.
Adam Levine
He is such a dick in real life.
Matt Damon
His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.
I thought he was quite good in The Talented Mr Ripley
Funny enough, that was the first Matt Damon movie I saw.
…aaaaaand I absolutely hated it 😆
Norman Reedus i guess? Im a big metal gear fan but I won’t play death stranding.
Norman reedus is gross and looks like the smelly guy with cigarette burns on his fingers and bitten up fingernails. He repulses me, I have nothing but contempt for him. He’s so skeevy looking.
Him being skeevy looking but actually kinda nice is the part of the appeal.
Whaaaat, you don’t wanna play the game with the gross guy you dislike with pissing mechanics that also lets you collect your sweat, piss, and poop and put them into grenades to throw at ghosts?
Jack Black. I think it was around the time he started up his Jablinksy crap on Youtube. There were tons of “organic posts” on reddit about it and it just didn’t sit right with me. Ever since I can’t stand him.
I also could never stand him. I think I just saw him in to many things basically being Jack Black or something.
There is actually one movie called The Holiday, it’s a RomCom from 2006 which I like very much, and I think he does a good job there.
I hated him in that! Loved him in High Fidelity and after The Holiday, I was very mixed up about him
Big “theatre kid” energy on him.
