Some actors just make you reach for the off switch or put you off a film in the first place, there's no getting around it... Well then let's just mention all the Kardashians then. I think they are trying to act like humans, but it is all a miserable fail. I don't understand why the media is so obsessed with them, and that includes the media worldwide. It's the Freak Show effect. Circuses, carnivals, TV, film.....they all sell the freaks, sickos, car crash casualties, etc. Morbid curiosity SELLS!!

I don't remember his performance in that movie at all. Then again, I really didn't like that movie at all, so that's why I can't remember him in it. All I remember is Robert Downey Jr. as a black man, which just seemed wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or they're just high. Jack Black was annoying in High Fidelity and brought the enjoyment of it down by a knotch, and I don't see why anyone over the age of 20 would bother watching School of Rock more than once.

People give this guy a bad rap because of Titanic. He was great in that. No, the dialogue wasn't always, or even often that good, but that didn't mean he didn't do a great job with what he had to work with. Even so, take Titanic out of the picture and you still have: Inception Gangs of New York The Aviator Revolutionary Road Catch Me If You Can The Basketball Diaries What's Eating Gilbert Grape Blood Diamond And there are other movies that weren't necessarily as great, like The Beach or The Departed, that still had great acting from him. I'm sorry, but Leonardo DiCaprio can ACT. I disagree with every fibre of my being. I haven't seen all of Leonardo DiCaprio's movies but I've never seen a single one in which he suspended my disbelief. When I see him in a film, I am always painfully aware of the fact that I'm watching LEONARDO DICAPRIO pretend to be this thing or that thing. "Oh, look, it's Leonardo DiCaprio pretending to be Jim Carroll! Oh, look, it's Leonardo DiCaprio trapped in a layers of dreamworlds! Oh, look, it's Leonardo DiCaprio pretending to be J Edgar Hoover!" I don't hate him, I'm just never able to believe in any of his performances. You're entitled. Still, a great actor. You're the guy who thinks that Stephenie Meyer is a great writer, so I shall give your opinion the weight it deserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallithrax Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm not one that looks at how good the acting is in films, I watch a film for enjoyment, not to comment on how good the story was, or how good/bad the acting was. But I have noticed a few people mention actors who they say plays the same part in each film, so I thought i'd add one that I think is like that...

"You underestimate my POOOOOOOOWERRRRRRR!" The problem is that he's been a terrible actor in everything else he's been in too, so maybe it was that.... After all, Ewan McGregor didn't suck in those films, so an actor with ability can do something with it. Problem is, Hayden not only isn't great, he's not even good.
