Actors you love and hate

Orange Elephant

Edward Norton is my favourite...

Don't know why. He's just always good.
Maybe it was him being the best thing in Primal Fear or him being deadly in "American History X" and "Fight Club"...
he was the best thing in "Kingdom of Heaven" too, but that was just sh*t.
I hope he's gonna be in more films soon.

Robert De Niro is excellent too, but way too obvious. Morgan Freeman is always great, but I don't know why he's always doinbg voiceovers now (Just cause of "the Shawshank Redemption")!

Kevin Spacey is very good, and Christopher Walken.

I always hated Al Pacino. Orlando Bloom is a complete twat.
I never liked Bill Murray, probably cause he always plays the same part.
Vince Vaughn is awful, I never find him funny or believable in a serious part. Jack Black annoys me too...

I probably hate Sylevester Stallone, Steven Seagal and George Clooney the most.

I used to absolutely despise Nicolas Cage and any film he was involved with by default but Bringing out the Dead, Wild at Heart and Raising Arizona have managed to kind of turn me around.

Because I think his movies suck and he's one of those actors that really annoys me. I especially hate him in Independence Day.

Alrighty. You should really check out Lost Highway or Zero Effect to witness his mad acting skillz though.

Nicely said.

I was actually watching Lost Highway a couple of nights ago. Very wierd but still very bad. I'll give him credit for trying to do something "artistic/alternative" though but I still hate him as an actor.

Haven't seen "Zero Effect" but I doubt it will have any effect (God that's pathetic) on my opinion of him.

Kazaanova

I'm an awful judge of acting ability, I love LOADS of actors but actors that would get me to see a film, just to see them would be:

Edward Norton
Christian Bale
Jean Reno
Joaquin Phoenix
Owen Wilson
Russell Crowe(One of the best working actors today)
SEAN BEAN(If they had of let Boromir live in the LOTR films, I think most people would be OK with it if Sean played him)
Jeff Goldblum(Cant get enough of this guy)
Maggie Gyllenhaa
Robert De Niro
Denzel Washington
Bruce Willis(Can be annoying)
Billy Bob Thornton
Famke Janssen
Brad Pitt
Nicolas Cage
Samuel L. Jackson
Alexis Bledel
Tom Cruise
Luke Wilson
Daniel Day-Lewis
Cate Blanchett

For some reason I cant really stand Al Pacino and I've seen plants in films that were more intesting to watch than Ben Affleck. Same with Jude Law...urgh. And Sigourney Weaver is hideous.

Also I think a lot of people like Edward Norton because you can tell hes a very serious actor and he really likes doing it. Hes not on MTV promoting a **** film every second month either. He can make any role great, even in a **** movie. Hes the perfect balance of someone whos enjoyable to watch(love his voice) and someone who can play a role perfectly and make it interesting.

Spider_Baby!

I love Paul Newman. Never seen him in a movie i dislike. There arent too many i hate with a passion, nobody springs to my mind straight away, anyway.

Scarinae

I'll come back to this thread and do a proper list - but I have to say that I despise Tom Cruise. It got to the stage where I just can't watch films that he's in - friends say that I'm missing outcos I haven't seen Vanilla Sky or Minority Report and all those other films that have come out since I developed this intense dislike, but well they're only films anyway and I'm sure I'll live without seeing them

Also, how come Jeff Goldblum always seems to play a scientist? The Fly, Jurassic Park, Cats and Dogs, Life Story, Independence Day - he was some sort of scientist in all of them
