He's a terrible singer. I guess you're referring to Le Mis, where they are all under par singers in that movie. So that doesn't say much about his acting ability:)

totally keep the talk going is this site full of professional wind up merchants id say. Accounts just set up to keep the convo going. Like a ponzi talking scheme.

Theworldisy

I am now convinced that this site has to be full of set up merchants. Start a topic wind people up and keep it going. Seen it on so many topics. Maybe im wrong but looks that way.

Stallone.

Ben Affleck.

John Travolta.

**** off Hugh, in real life the girl would prefer to go off with a guy who can string a sentence together. Although he was pretty good in that recent thing with Nicole kidman to be fair

I think he can be excellent in right film.
Paddington 2 he was fantastic imo

Really? I can't imagine anyone else playing the role?

I've always found Sam Worthington to be absolutely terrible in everything I've seen him in. And thanks to James Cameron, we have four more Avatar movies to endure him in. Having said that, another of Wortho's upcoming movies has one of the best-worst premises ever; Alphas.

When the local Great White population spirals out of control, environmentalist Gavin McDade (Worthington) is tasked with finding a natural solution to the shark problem. He tracks down the owner of a nearby Killer Whale sanctuary, whose career as an Orca trainer was cut short when she was attacked by the star of her own show. She reluctantly agrees to reintroduce a pod of juvenile Orcas into the same waters to drive out the sharks, but soon realizes there’s a female alpha Great White lurking beneath the surface capable of destroying them all. With nowhere else to turn and with his rebellious sister’s surf competition quickly approaching, he must convince the former trainer to unleash the same creature that nearly killed her in what will become the greatest battle of apex predators the oceans have ever seen.

He's also absolutely scene stealing in the gentlemen

I would of had the opinion that Hugh Grant was a boring ‘plays the same character’ in every film he’s in type of actor, and not very good.

That opinion changed after seeing The Gentlemen.. he was utterly brilliant in it, and I really hope it opens his career up for him and gets him away from that typecast role he always seems to play.

Sean Connery. Truly awful actor

Yes, I just think the delivery of her lines is very amateur, almost like watching a pantomime actor. Theres no conviction in her voice I find...

Ever since training day I've found him unwatchable, and highly annoying.

Definitely a few on here trying to get a reaction. Someone made an attempt to mention Daniel day lewis in this thread, who's next Gene Hackman?

Hercule Poirot

10 pages of comments and no mention of Tom Hardy?

I thought he was ok in Inception but everything else he's been woeful in, mumbling around like a robot devoid of life - he nearly ruined Warrior which is an excellent film

John Conners.

He was excellent in the movie Lawless, he was also excellent in Bronson. Gained critical acclaim for his performance in Locke and again in Taboo. I think a lot of people are struggling to make the distinction between a truly "bad actor" and actors they just dont like personally. Either that or a lot of posts are trying to get a reaction.

Megan Markle but I've only seen her in that Oprah interview.

On the flip side Harry is a great actor.
He's had a life spanning career playing Prince Charles' son. :pac:

Didn't take long for the thread to descend to the ridiculous. Nick is an oscar winner, and was nominated in another year.

Should have won an oscar for Con Air:):)
No-one else could deliver that immortal line - put the bunny back in the box.

He was brilliant in About A Boy as well.

Hugh Grants biggest mistake was getting involved with Richard Curtis (Four Weddings, Notting Hill,etc..) He turned him into a caricature.

And yes, I'm counting the prostitute scandal here

Notting Hill did quite well financially.. not a bad mistake to make

De Niro, good one time but time to hang up the boots, since meet the fockers I've lost all respect, Pacino not far behind

Close the thread its been infiltrated by wind up merchants looking for a reaction. You forgot Marlon Brando, truly horrendous actor.

Anne Hathaway

Sebastian Dangerfield

I think Barry Keoghan is terrible. Anything Ive seen him in after Love Hate, he's been the same - monosyllabic, expressionless, beyond the occasional smirk. He almost looks bored. Good luck to him though, it seems to be working.

Vin Diesel is terrible too. Huge climactic event - "mumblemumblemumble faaahmily" - slams car into first gear and speeds off

Nicole Kidman is now awful. Maybe she always was, but she was laughable in The Undoing. She has such little movement in her face now, she has to move everything from the shoulders up to display emotion.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen! Must check out that show.

Quintin Tarantino: a minor role always. A few shrilly ranty lines and he's popped.

Mister Vain

Sandra Bullock. She always looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Can't stand her.

Ryan Gosling. Completely expressionless, which worked fairly well for his role as a replicant in Blade Runner I suppose, but terrible for everything else.

GTFO. The Rock, Indiana Jones, The Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables. He absolutely dominates the screen.

If anything he's underrated as an actor.

The prostitute incident happened just after this. I'm guessing he alienated a lot of Hollywood people and so had do more Curtis type movies.

I just feel that he started well but some of his most recent performances have been rambling messes. He was excellent in Peaky Blinders but his output lately has been poor. I enjoyed Venom as a film but felt it would have been much better with a different actor playing the lead.

In the real world a posh guy like the type Grant plays would wipe the floor with most.

Yeh but shes playing a character who would have Botox, probably. I thought they were both ok in that, her and grant.
