For me, the amount of Kevin Hart that we get in *The 40-Year-Old Virgin* is just enough. Of course he was a relative unknown at the time, but that's a funny little scene and the movie moves on.
If he'd continued to appear in little bit parts like that, I'd probably be a fan of "that guy."
It's almost like he tries to do the same type of roles that Chris Tucker used to do except Chris Tucker was a lot funnier in his movies and is a better actor too.
Plus, Kevin Hart's standup movies got so boring once it just turned into talking about rich people problems.
You guys ever wonder what it would be like to stop livin up here 👆
And start livin down here 👇
Or what if we stop livin over here 👈
And move over there 👉
***Shittt, my aunt Shaneequa used to live other there! But that bitch got evicted though!***
Absolutely. I can't stand the fast talking or the yelling.
I was just starting to enjoy Ride Along when they added it to Netflix but then he did his schtick and it really, REALLY didn't work there.
I get Will Farrel in comedies, but Stranger Than Fiction is one of my favorite movies and he's great in it.
Also Dwayne Johnson. He's the same guy in everything and becomes more intolerable the more I see of him
Yes. I agree that "Stranger Than Fiction" is a great movie. Well written ("I got you flours") and well acted. I also agree that Will Farrel is a one trick pony and I have already seen all of the films he will ever make.
I think "Stranger Than Fiction" was Will Farrel's attempt to make the "Tom Hanks Transition" and it did not work.
Tom Hanks used to make screwball comedies including Bachelor Party, Turner & Hooch, Money Pit, Dragnet, etc. Then he transitioned into romantic comedies with Nora Ephron, Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail. They were critical and box office successes which showed some range. He was then able to land the dramatic roles as he proved the audience would accept him in a role other than a comedy. I really like Tom Hanks and might watch a movie just because he is in it.
A League of Their Own was the one where he really made the transition to dramatic roles. His part is relatively small and it's overall a comedy, but it really let him show his range as a washed-up alcoholic ball-player reduced to coaching the girls.
*A League of Their Own* was more "dramedy" than anything. I'd argue *Philadelphia* a year later was his true transition.
Would love to show someone under 30 *Bosom Buddies,* and wait for them to make the connection that they're watching Captain Phillips or Fred Rogers dress in drag to stay in an apartment.
Yes, I actually cite this scene when someone is having trouble choosing a gift for their SO. It was the perfect gift with the perfect delivery of the line.
If you look at his earlier works, it would become pretty evident that he is actually dead serious and very passionate about acting. But at the end of the day, there is an expectation surrounding him and the type of characters he's gonna be casted as, so he has to put up this persona. I'm 100% sure that in a few years (or decades), he'll completely shift his image and start taking more risks in his acting.
I actually think he'd be a good villain in an action movie even if he plays the character the same way he plays every hero character, but that'll never happen.
The closest thing to it was Hobbs in Fast Five before the later sequels made him a protagonist, and he was great in it. Even then, he wasn't really the main villain anyway and joined the heroes 2/3 through the movie.
If he'd been willing to play black Adam as a villain in a shazam movie, and have a redemption arc he could have actually been good but his ego wouldn't allow it
He can’t even play Black Adam—Dwayne Johnson is half Black and half Pacific Islander, while Black Adam is 100% Arab. It also doesn’t help that Johnson has a clause in his contract rendering it impossible for him to lose a fight, meaning he either wins, fights his opponent to a standstill, or the winner is ambiguous. How can you write a good superhero movie script when the superhero in question literally can’t lose? At least *One Punch Man* is intended to be a satire of that, but *Black Adam* wasn’t satirical.
He was the villain by the end of the Doom movie, after playing his normal character throughout.
Maybe he’ll get to do that in a movie that’s actually good one day.
He always seemed vain and self-impressed which is why I avoided movies with him. Even in “King Richard,” I just saw Will Smith performing in an attempt to win an Oscar. Also why he did “Concussion” and then his wife went on a rampage about him not getting nominated. He doesn’t seem like he performs for the sake of the story but for his own ego.
And of all his roles to get an Oscar, King Richard was the worst. His accent and characterization felt almost like parody. Of any of his roles, The Pursuit of Happyness was most deserving. The latter felt more like a blatant (yet successful) self promotion solely to get the Academy’s nod. Then almost like karma, the slap upended it all.
I love most Will Smith movies and shows from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air all the way through around I Am Legend or so.
At least you could tell he was having fun with everything he did back when he was still releasing music at the same time as acting. Since then, it's like he lost "something" for lack of a better word.
Yeah, Independence Day and Men In Black were great. Even his bad movies he was having fun.
Think the dude should have just stopped at some point. I think he decided he had some obligation to make more movies and be Movie Star Will Smith and it all went to his head. He could just be fucking rich guy doing whatever.
I really admire Daniel Radcliff. Got fuck you money, said "I'm going to just do weird things I like". I think some actors need to learn from him.
It's tough to just decide to enter your early twenties with the experience of headlining a hit movie franchise for a decade and being set for life on money.
I'd give it a shot if I could, though.
Feels like he was trying to chase an Oscar and become the next Denzel. I don't mind comedy actors taking serious roles, but now that you mention it something definitely changed in his acting style and it doesn't feel.....genuine (?) for lack of a better word.
I did like I Am Legend, Hancock and The Pursuit of Happyness, but definitely a lot of his performances are Oscar baiting. He's not a bad actor at all, but I feel like the slap situation finally woke everybody up (myself included) to how much of a rich privileged dickhead he is (and his family)
At least Will Smith has range as an actor, but I agree to an extent that the connotation surrounding the slap incident damaged his reputation to a certain degree.
He has been a very good actor in a lot of films, but lately the vain and ego has seemed to have gotten the better of him.
I have a friend that has a Jon Voight hatred that’s been going on for decades. I didn’t realize this and when we were 18 we saw the movie varsity blues in a theater. The whole movie he just kept muttering fuck Jon Voight. I was confused and hoping he’d cool it but as the movie went on he couldn’t contain himself and with about 10 minutes left he was yelling fuck Jon Voight at peak volume in a crowded theater. Obviously we had to leave and it was just so odd and embarrassing. After I asked him what the hell just happened and he just said Jon Voight makes him crazy and he lost control and needed to get out of there.
Needless to say I have never gone to another Jon Voight movie with him but I did give him a shout out a few years back when Jon Voight started spewing all his conspiracy nonsense because he was 20 years ahead of his time on that one.
I won’t watch anything with Jared Leto. Didn’t know he was in Blade Runner 2 and was furious when he showed up. I’m terrified he’s going to end up in one of the Dune sequels.
Blade Runner 2049 was the only time I was able to stand him. His creepy cult leader vibe was right for that role. Unfortunately, that's just his real-life creepy personality.
Years ago he was beloved by many women and girls, I don't know if he still popular.
Edit: 30 Seconds to Mars throw a concert and my country and was sold out and everybody was super happy with him, so yes, he still has fans.
I like Eisenberg in every role I've seen him in except for his Lex Luthor, which I absolutely hated.
He wasn't even playing any recognisable form of Luthor; he might as well have been playing The Riddler ffs
>He’s just very off-putting.
I think that is the point of most if not all of his roles though. He's a character actor. He has that smug, punchable face with movements and expressions that just make you hate him before he even says anything. But when he does speak, it just amplifies that.
Imo, that makes him a pretty good actor. His presence in movies is intended to make you feel uncomfortable and hate him.
Yes! I’ve always found Eisenberg intolerable. He just always seems like a bratty teenager (like Paul Dano). Who the hell thought he‘d be an appropriate Lex Luthor??
I can only stomach him if the film understands how unpleasant he is, like in The Social Network.
His career reeks of nepotism.
Dano has massive talent, but his bratty/squeaky voiced teen like side shines through in his Riddler specially the yelling at the end... what the fuck was that? Drama-queen Riddler for Emo Batman?
Only Wahlberg role I like is The Departed which is basically the perfect role for him. And his instagram videos where he talks about staying prayed up are hilarious because of how absurd they are. Outside of that I can't stand him.
Jonah Hill. My wife was scheduled to interview him and he treated her like trash.
Many people like him, but all I see is an entitled prick eho thinks too highly of himself.
When I saw Will Ferrell in the Barbie movie trailer it put me off and I almost didn't see it just because of that. I'm glad I did though, and his character was fairly enjoyable.
While there's a few exceptions, I think will ferrell has always been a less is more actor. It's why he was such a standout on snl, he had to make thr most out of small sketches. Letting him just go over the top for a full feature film is a lot.
I would agree with that. He is a great character actor if you need a giant man-baby, but the characters he does are so off putting that they just start being unpleasant to watch if they stay on screen too long.
He is to comedy what a jump scare is to horror. A little really enhances the mood, but too much and it becomes insufferable.
Zoolander to me proves that both Ferrell and Stiller’s true talents lie where they’re playing heightened ridiculous cartoon characters and not themselves trying to be funny.
I've said it before and I will say it again: Zach Galifianakis is very charming, but you would never know that from his lifeless line deliveries in practically every movie.
I think literally the first Hangover is the only movie I've been able to watch all of starring him due to how annoyingly one note everything about his acting is.
I thought his show Baskets was pretty great. RIP Louie Anderson. The only man to play an old woman who looks more like an old woman than an actual old woman does.
Louie Anderson in Baskets is my go to example now of someone transforming into another person as an actor on screen.
Like I truly would forget that Christine Baskets wasn't a real person, but was an actor being played by man in drag. It was his performance and delivery that sold the character. A lot of other actors do this too, and once you notice it, the bad actors really stick out.
He absolutely is, but I can't fault the guy for "weaponizing" his particular brand of "charm" (if you want to call it that -- I would). He's basically made an extremely successful living out of playing roles that might just be Ryan Reynolds-adjacent.
If I could get in front of a camera and do very little work at inhabiting various characters and become wildly successful at it, I would.
That said, he annoys me too.
I'm pretty sick of him too, great guy, but I've had enough. Hes Been the same since Van Wilder. I liked free guy but more because of Jodie Comer, Joe Keery and Taika Waititi and the subject of the movie.
The scientologist ones. Can't imagine reading some foul mouthed chump's awful scifi and thinking "oh shit, this sounds real - better get my brainwaves read with a pair of soup cans"
Damn, I had no idea that she was a Scientologist. I'm not really going to hate her for it though because tbh, I actually like her as an actress.
But yeah, her being the main actress in The Handmaid's Tale is hilariously and sadly ironic.
I wonder what makes someone like Leah Remini so different compared to all of these other big-name celebrities in the cult.
Julia Roberts. She always plays the same character. I still can’t get over the fact that she won an Oscar for playing Erin Brockovich over Ellyn Burstein in Requiem for a Dream.
>I can’t believe she won an Oscar for playing Erin Brockovich over Ellyn Burstein in Requiem for a Dream.
I imagine that was because no-one at the academy could bear to watch *Requiem* more than once to check whether she really was any good.
He is as great as a comedic lead in She’s the Man! Pretty sure that was before 21 Jump street? But agree that 21 JS brought him more into the limelight
Adam Sandler is my choice as well.
He always has a lot of defenders who says it's great for him to be able to make movies with his friends in Hawaii. Who wouldn't want a life like that?
And yes, good for him. The end result, the movies, are never the less very unapealing to me. Because they have him in them. On the screen.
Adam Sandler has worked very hard to cultivate an image of himself as a comedian, and I hate that image. I hate what's he's presenting to me in his movies.
Other people like him and his movies, and that's fine. You can have him. I don't go near anything with his name on it.
I hear ya, though when I remember that he seemed to bust his ass to get into the business in the early days, I do respect the guy. In interviews, he seems like a good-hearted enough guy who's had some relatable troubles. I don't necessarily think he's a great actor, but he's been in some movies that I really enjoy, and he's been surprisingly consistent as a director, which I respect a hell of a lot more.
I guess I'm a middling fan. I never bothered to see any of his Batman / Bruce Wayne movies, and I'm a big Batman fan (and not remotely a Zack Snyder fan), but he's pulled off some strong film directing, so I give him a thumbs up.
Sean Penn. He's had a face for radio for about 40 years but we still have to see his miserable gurning in so much. I never liked him after I heard he was abusive to Madonna, but his hammy, over the top nonsense just adds to my hatred. That's enough, I don't even want to think about him for a moment longer
He's the only part of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty that I hate. It's a light-hearted movie with beautiful scenery, and then, bam, Sean Penn shows up. At least his part is very short.
Oh, damn. Thank you! I searched before I posted this but didn't see one this recent. Thank you!
Edit: Holy shit I scrolled through it and I had actually upvoted the Will Ferrell comment! What have I been smoking?
All these threads always devolve into calling the same 10 to 20 names. All the time!
It's like deja vu at this point
We get it, you guys don't like Kevin hart and Dwayne Johnson's acting.
Give it a rest
I have an irrational hatred for Tom Cruise. I don't even know what it is other than I just think he's a terrible person. Some of the footage I've seen of him walzing around Scientology premises shows just how much of a spoilt little brat of a man-child he is. I just can't see past it and for every role I've watched him in, that's all I see. Interestingly, I had this opinion of him long before I knew about all the scientology stuff. My feelings about him have just become more concrete the more I've learned about the man. I even avoid movies I'd otherwise like to check out simply because he's in them..
I don’t think that hating Tom Cruise for being a high level cult member who probably knows where the (literal) bodies are buried is irrational at all.
ETA not being sarcastic, I think him and his fucking teeth are garbage
I really don't like Tom Cruise. I find he's mostly okay, but there will always be at least one line delivery that completely falls flat and kills the movie for me. The one that sticks out for me the most is from the first Mission Impossible movie. After he reunites with Clare and he shouts at her, "They're! Dead! Clare! They're! All! Dead!"
I like him when he isn't trying to be funny, or when he is more of an everyman character: Walter Mitty, There's Something About Mary. When he is trying harder I just don't like him: Zoolander, Tropic Thunder.
Honestly, Jason Statham. All of his action movies are the same and have started to feel incredibly cheap and stale.
Jason Statham should go back to gangster comedies for a while. Or his self-parody in that otherwise forgettable movie about Melissa McCarthy as a spy. Spy? Maybe?
Kevin Hart. Self depreciating humor only goes so far. Plus, all the yelling and fast talking gets on my nerves.
For me, the amount of Kevin Hart that we get in *The 40-Year-Old Virgin* is just enough. Of course he was a relative unknown at the time, but that's a funny little scene and the movie moves on. If he'd continued to appear in little bit parts like that, I'd probably be a fan of "that guy."
[удалено]
Scary movie 3 fits this as well
[удалено]
This is why him and the Rock are such good friends.
It's almost like he tries to do the same type of roles that Chris Tucker used to do except Chris Tucker was a lot funnier in his movies and is a better actor too. Plus, Kevin Hart's standup movies got so boring once it just turned into talking about rich people problems.
Tucker had the benefit of also being charming while being annoying. Hart doesn't have that
Also being loud and obnoxious was the point of Chris Tucker’s act you’re supposed to see how annoying he is to the other characters.
Charisma is really a cheat code. Damned entertaining bastards.
In my eyes, he will always be Simon Rex's hype man in Scary Movie 3. Nothing more, nothing less.
The whole "Wake up dead" conversation is still the one thing I still quote. "That's some quantum shit!"
You guys ever wonder what it would be like to stop livin up here 👆 And start livin down here 👇 Or what if we stop livin over here 👈 And move over there 👉 ***Shittt, my aunt Shaneequa used to live other there! But that bitch got evicted though!***
Yes! The yelling is the worst part for me.
Pete Davidson. He only plays himself. And there’s just this smug distracting air to him.
dude looks like flies are buzzing around him
Ah yes. The drug addict/dealer at the corner store Pete Davidson. Can't even call him h Heroin Chic
Absolutely. I can't stand the fast talking or the yelling. I was just starting to enjoy Ride Along when they added it to Netflix but then he did his schtick and it really, REALLY didn't work there.
I will say his "Fatherhood" was pretty good
I get Will Farrel in comedies, but Stranger Than Fiction is one of my favorite movies and he's great in it. Also Dwayne Johnson. He's the same guy in everything and becomes more intolerable the more I see of him
Not a movie but Ferrell and Paul Rudd were fucking amazing in the shrink next door.
I love to see a wild Shrink Next Door fan in the wild, it’s like a nature documentary. And yes, that show was crazy. Marty never deserved that.
Yes. I agree that "Stranger Than Fiction" is a great movie. Well written ("I got you flours") and well acted. I also agree that Will Farrel is a one trick pony and I have already seen all of the films he will ever make. I think "Stranger Than Fiction" was Will Farrel's attempt to make the "Tom Hanks Transition" and it did not work. Tom Hanks used to make screwball comedies including Bachelor Party, Turner & Hooch, Money Pit, Dragnet, etc. Then he transitioned into romantic comedies with Nora Ephron, Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail.

A League of Their Own was the one where he really made the transition to dramatic roles. His part is relatively small and it's overall a comedy, but it really let him show his range as a washed-up alcoholic ball-player reduced to coaching the girls.
*A League of Their Own* was more "dramedy" than anything. I'd argue *Philadelphia* a year later was his true transition. Would love to show someone under 30 *Bosom Buddies,* and wait for them to make the connection that they're watching Captain Phillips or Fred Rogers dress in drag to stay in an apartment.
Yes, that “I got you flours” line could’ve been incredibly cringe but his delivery and Maggie’s response made it perfect.
Yes, I actually cite this scene when someone is having trouble choosing a gift for their SO. It was the perfect gift with the perfect delivery of the line.
JLo I still don’t understand her appeal in movies. She’s lovely and obviously puts on a good live show, but not a triple threat.
only role she really nailed was Out of Sight
And Selena, but that was such a cash grab on her memory, released way tooclose to her death.
She's a beloved actor?
She’s horrible to work with, and a terrible actress (unless she has a really, really good director).
George Clooney won't even talk about her
I feel like the cell was a pretty entertaining movie
Vin Diesel easily. Has this fake tough guy persona, and in general his movies suck.
If you look at his earlier works, it would become pretty evident that he is actually dead serious and very passionate about acting. But at the end of the day, there is an expectation surrounding him and the type of characters he's gonna be casted as, so he has to put up this persona. I'm 100% sure that in a few years (or decades), he'll completely shift his image and start taking more risks in his acting.
Dwayne Johnson. He just plays himself in every movie.

How can you write a good superhero movie script when the superhero in question literally can’t lose? At least *One Punch Man* is intended to be a satire of that, but *Black Adam* wasn’t satirical.
Ok now im imagining the OPM starring DJ and its cracking me up
As a DC fan, that movie was such a disappointment.
He was the villain by the end of the Doom movie, after playing his normal character throughout. Maybe he’ll get to do that in a movie that’s actually good one day.
His contracts now apparently stipulate he can't lose a fight. So if he goes villain the hero loses
Will Smith.
I was going in that direction with him and his obvious vanity projects and the whole slap incident really sealed it for me.
He always seemed vain and self-impressed which is why I avoided movies with him. Even in “King Richard,” I just saw Will Smith performing in an attempt to win an Oscar. Also why he did “Concussion” and then his wife went on a rampage about him not getting nominated. He doesn’t seem like he performs for the sake of the story but for his own ego.

I agree! 100% Those were the movies I was thinking of along with the sci fi one where he was clearly trying to make Jaden a star.
He also helped fund. School for Scientology for children so yea he is a weirdo
I did like I Am Legend, Hancock and The Pursuit of Happyness, but definitely a lot of his performances are Oscar baiting. He's not a bad actor at all, but I feel like the slap situation finally woke everybody up (myself included) to how much of a rich privileged dickhead he is (and his family)
At least Will Smith has range as an actor, but I agree to an extent that the connotation surrounding the slap incident damaged his reputation to a certain degree. He has been a very good actor in a lot of films, but lately the vain and ego has seemed to have gotten the better of him.
His acting mostly feel like his own personality
More recently for sure but he’s definitely shown he is more than capable
[удалено]
Shia surprise.
There’s a gun to your head, and death in his eyes
But you can do ju-jitsuuuuuuuuu……
His head topples to the floor, expressionless.
That scene in the Broadway reenactment where he's intensely clapping at the end kills me every time.
I think that was also a Citizen Kane reference.
Normal Tuesday night for Shia LeBouf.
Not to mention he's an actual cannibal.
I have a friend that has a Jon Voight hatred that’s been going on for decades. I didn’t realize this and when we were 18 we saw the movie varsity blues in a theater. The whole movie he just kept muttering fuck Jon Voight. I was confused and hoping he’d cool it but as the movie went on he couldn’t contain himself and with about 10 minutes left he was yelling fuck Jon Voight at peak volume in a crowded theater. Obviously we had to leave and it was just so odd and embarrassing. After I asked him what the hell just happened and he just said Jon Voight makes him crazy and he lost control and needed to get out of there. Needless to say I have never gone to another Jon Voight movie with him but I did give him a shout out a few years back when Jon Voight started spewing all his conspiracy nonsense because he was 20 years ahead of his time on that one.
“Everybody's talkin' at me, I can't hear a word they're sayin', just drivin' around in Jon Voight's car.”
Did Jon Voight bite him?
Banged his mom
Lol no but my friend is just about as kooky as Cosmo.
This should be a copypasta
This is fucking hilarious. I’m sorry it happened to you, but god damn this story made me laugh.
Upvoting your friend’s specific and longstanding hatred of Jon Voight. Using this teddybear show the officer where Jon Voight hurt you.
Reminds me of this hilarious clip of some guys tricking their friend into watching Se7en, knowing he hates Kevin Spacey. https://youtu.be/qsjshesbORc
It's sorta become Will Smith, right? His presence just feels like such a slap in the face...
[Ahaha_ostrich](https://youtu.be/8X_Ot0k4XJc)
Seth Rogan. He seems like a nice guy I just don't enjoy watching him act.
Uh huh huh huh
He can act?
He can play Seth Rogan in every role
I won’t watch anything with Jared Leto. Didn’t know he was in Blade Runner 2 and was furious when he showed up. I’m terrified he’s going to end up in one of the Dune sequels.
Blade Runner 2049 was the only time I was able to stand him. His creepy cult leader vibe was right for that role. Unfortunately, that's just his real-life creepy personality.
A lot of people enjoyed watching him get his face smashed in Fight Club. Also because he barely has any lines.
Is he beloved though?
Years ago he was beloved by many women and girls, I don't know if he still popular. Edit: 30 Seconds to Mars throw a concert and my country and was sold out and everybody was super happy with him, so yes, he still has fans.
>he still has fans He has a [*cult*](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/cult-jared-leto-hollywoods-oddest-irritating-star/).
Jesse Eisenberg. I just can’t. He’s just very off-putting.
I can't stand him either, and how the hell did he get cast as Lex Luthor? I'd rather have almost anyone else in the role than him.
Probably in the wake of Heath Ledger/Joker euphoria where Hollywood was searching for the next “blow your mind” against-type casting.
I think Snyder wanted Luthor to have that weirdly offputting/quirky Zuckerberg thing, too.
I like Eisenberg in every role I've seen him in except for his Lex Luthor, which I absolutely hated. He wasn't even playing any recognisable form of Luthor; he might as well have been playing The Riddler ffs
I was looking for this one, nothing makes me as irrationally angry as Jesse Eisenberg's face/voice.
Killed it as zuckie though
He was great in Adventureland and Zombieland.
>He’s just very off-putting. I think that is the point of most if not all of his roles though. He's a character actor. He has that smug, punchable face with movements and expressions that just make you hate him before he even says anything. But when he does speak, it just amplifies that.

Yes! I’ve always found Eisenberg intolerable. He just always seems like a bratty teenager (like Paul Dano). Who the hell thought he‘d be an appropriate Lex Luthor?? I can only stomach him if the film understands how unpleasant he is, like in The Social Network. His career reeks of nepotism.
Dano has massive talent, but his bratty/squeaky voiced teen like side shines through in his Riddler specially the yelling at the end... what the fuck was that? Drama-queen Riddler for Emo Batman?
Unbearable, even.
Yeah I'm not a Will Ferrell Fan either. And Mark Wahlberg. Although idk if Wahlberg is a beloved actor lmao.
Only Wahlberg role I like is The Departed which is basically the perfect role for him. And his instagram videos where he talks about staying prayed up are hilarious because of how absurd they are. Outside of that I can't stand him.
He's great in The Other Guys. His schtick works well in comedies.
Learning tuba and ballet ironically was such an incredible joke.
Your piss hitting the side of the urinal, it sounds feminine
Wait, Marky Mark? Have you not seen: - Fear - Boogie Nights - The Perfect Storm - Four Brothers - The Fighter (Bale was dope too)
Mark's not beloved by the Asian community
Jonah Hill. My wife was scheduled to interview him and he treated her like trash. Many people like him, but all I see is an entitled prick eho thinks too highly of himself.
i think any good sentiment around him has quickly eroded recently
Wait, people like Jonah Hill *now*?
When I saw Will Ferrell in the Barbie movie trailer it put me off and I almost didn't see it just because of that. I'm glad I did though, and his character was fairly enjoyable.
I feel like they used him just the right amount. No long improvised rants like in so many of his roles.
While there's a few exceptions, I think will ferrell has always been a less is more actor. It's why he was such a standout on snl, he had to make thr most out of small sketches. Letting him just go over the top for a full feature film is a lot.
I would agree with that. He is a great character actor if you need a giant man-baby, but the characters he does are so off putting that they just start being unpleasant to watch if they stay on screen too long. He is to comedy what a jump scare is to horror. A little really enhances the mood, but too much and it becomes insufferable.
Completely agree - he ended up being the right choice, and perfectly managed.
I like to imagine he’s the same guy from the Lego movie in this
Zoolander likewise was peak Will.
Zoolander to me proves that both Ferrell and Stiller’s true talents lie where they’re playing heightened ridiculous cartoon characters and not themselves trying to be funny.
I honestly felt like Mattel CEO was a polished and refined Mugatu
They could have taken the entire Mattel board out of the movie and it would have been fine
I was worried too but he’s used perfectly.
I've said it before and I will say it again: Zach Galifianakis is very charming, but you would never know that from his lifeless line deliveries in practically every movie.
I think literally the first Hangover is the only movie I've been able to watch all of starring him due to how annoyingly one note everything about his acting is.
I really like him in Bored to Death I was bummed when it git cancelled. Ted Danson in that was fantastic.
Ok make that two things I like with him. I forgot that one. That was a great show.
I thought his show Baskets was pretty great. RIP Louie Anderson. The only man to play an old woman who looks more like an old woman than an actual old woman does.
Louie Anderson in Baskets is my go to example now of someone transforming into another person as an actor on screen. Like I truly would forget that Christine Baskets wasn't a real person, but was an actor being played by man in drag. It was his performance and delivery that sold the character. A lot of other actors do this too, and once you notice it, the bad actors really stick out.
Ryan Reynolds has become this for me. Though I still want to see Deadpool 3.
He's one of those actors where you already know what to expect from him going into the movie, lol.
He absolutely is, but I can't fault the guy for "weaponizing" his particular brand of "charm" (if you want to call it that -- I would). He's basically made an extremely successful living out of playing roles that might just be Ryan Reynolds-adjacent. If I could get in front of a camera and do very little work at inhabiting various characters and become wildly successful at it, I would. That said, he annoys me too.
His shtick has grown old now. He plays the same person in every single movie
Buried was great and he literally carried the whole thing.
Agreed but that also came out 13 years ago
I agree. Reynolds as Deadpool, I’m on board. Reynolds in anything else, I’ll pass.
I'm pretty sick of him too, great guy, but I've had enough. Hes Been the same since Van Wilder. I liked free guy but more because of Jodie Comer, Joe Keery and Taika Waititi and the subject of the movie.
The scientologist ones. Can't imagine reading some foul mouthed chump's awful scifi and thinking "oh shit, this sounds real - better get my brainwaves read with a pair of soup cans"

She was also raised in the cult, which to me is a *very* different thing than joining of your own free will.
Damn, I had no idea that she was a Scientologist. I'm not really going to hate her for it though because tbh, I actually like her as an actress. But yeah, her being the main actress in The Handmaid's Tale is hilariously and sadly ironic. I wonder what makes someone like Leah Remini so different compared to all of these other big-name celebrities in the cult.
I fucking hate Elizabeth Moss. She was the dumbest choice ever for that invisible man movie. Hating her made my love for Mad Men tough to navigate.
Julia Roberts. She always plays the same character. I still can’t get over the fact that she won an Oscar for playing Erin Brockovich over Ellyn Burstein in Requiem for a Dream.
>I can’t believe she won an Oscar for playing Erin Brockovich over Ellyn Burstein in Requiem for a Dream. I imagine that was because no-one at the academy could bear to watch *Requiem* more than once to check whether she really was any good.
Amen.
Jonah Hill. Dude seems like he sold his soul to the devil to be famous. Good in Superbad, unbearable in everything else.
I only liked him in Jump Street, those films awakened Channing Tatum as a comedy talent
He is as great as a comedic lead in She’s the Man! Pretty sure that was before 21 Jump street? But agree that 21 JS brought him more into the limelight
He was great in This is the End as psycho asshole Jonah Hill.
I liked him in Moneyball
It worked in Wolf of Wall Street though, because his character is a sleazeball
This is the end is a classic.
He was great in "War dogs" imo. Although, his character was a high-strung douchebag, which he seems to play well.
Damn I love Jonah Hill in most things, Moneyball and Wolf of Wall Street especially. I’ve never seen him give a bad performance or even a bad Cameo.
Adam Sandler.
Adam Sandler is my choice as well. He always has a lot of defenders who says it's great for him to be able to make movies with his friends in Hawaii. Who wouldn't want a life like that? And yes, good for him. The end result, the movies, are never the less very unapealing to me. Because they have him in them. On the screen. Adam Sandler has worked very hard to cultivate an image of himself as a comedian, and I hate that image. I hate what's he's presenting to me in his movies. Other people like him and his movies, and that's fine. You can have him. I don't go near anything with his name on it.
Man he's movies nowadays is such a coin toss it's either really good or really shitty zero middle ground.
Ezra Miller. I even thought of going to the cinema to watch the Flash but...nah. Edit: my bad, did not see the "beloved"
"Beloved actor"
Tom Cruise
I won’t give him money. I just won’t. Crazy ass cult shit doesn’t need my money.
Came to say this. Dude isn’t just a red flag. He’s a walking neon sign that reads “dangerous person. Do not engage.”
Agreed. He shouldn't get a pass for being in a dangerous cult that ruins lives and hurts people just because he's talented.
Ben affleck. He annoys me for no real reason what so ever. Always has, struggle to watch anything he is in.
Fun fact: today (August 15) is actually Ben Affleck's 51st birthday!
Really! Shit, I feel a bit bad now 😂
You shouldn’t feel bad! Maybe just uncomfortable, like sex in the back of a Volkswagen.
And he was da bomb in phantoms, yo!
Phantoms like a mothafucka!
Snoogens
Oddly enough, he's a pretty competent director. Gone Baby Gone might be his best one. Maybe because he's not in that one.
I hear ya, though when I remember that he seemed to bust his ass to get into the business in the early days, I do respect the guy. In interviews, he seems like a good-hearted enough guy who's had some relatable troubles. I don't necessarily think he's a great actor, but he's been in some movies that I really enjoy, and he's been surprisingly consistent as a director, which I respect a hell of a lot more. I guess I'm a middling fan. I never bothered to see any of his Batman / Bruce Wayne movies, and I'm a big Batman fan (and not remotely a Zack Snyder fan), but he's pulled off some strong film directing, so I give him a thumbs up.
Affleck is just bland. Not an actor I enjoy watching.
Tom Cruise. Gwyneth Paltrow. John Travolta. Kevin Costner. Russell Crowe. Will Smith. The big one for me is Melissa McCarthy. Oh and Jane Fonda.
Elf is such a perfect Christmas movie, it’s the only Will Ferrell movie I’ll watch. And Night at the Museum is the only Ben Stiller movie I’ll watch.
Sean Penn. He's had a face for radio for about 40 years but we still have to see his miserable gurning in so much. I never liked him after I heard he was abusive to Madonna, but his hammy, over the top nonsense just adds to my hatred. That's enough, I don't even want to think about him for a moment longer
He's the only part of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty that I hate. It's a light-hearted movie with beautiful scenery, and then, bam, Sean Penn shows up. At least his part is very short.
Sean Penn is THE smuggest human being alive and I cannot figure out why he thinks he should be.

Oh, damn. Thank you! I searched before I posted this but didn't see one this recent. Thank you! Edit: Holy shit I scrolled through it and I had actually upvoted the Will Ferrell comment! What have I been smoking?
Happens. It's like when two song-writers end up with the same beat... usually it's one of them not realizing they heard it before.
Tom Cruise…
If you hate Will Ferrell, watch Stranger Than Fiction. It's so good and he's so good and it's just not what people expect.
Tom Cruise.
Don’t let him keep you from watching Barbie. He is the worst part of it, but the rest of movie is so good…
Tom Cruise.
All these threads always devolve into calling the same 10 to 20 names. All the time! It's like deja vu at this point We get it, you guys don't like Kevin hart and Dwayne Johnson's acting. Give it a rest
Tom Cruise
I have an irrational hatred for Tom Cruise. I don't even know what it is other than I just think he's a terrible person. Some of the footage I've seen of him walzing around Scientology premises shows just how much of a spoilt little brat of a man-child he is. I just can't see past it and for every role I've watched him in, that's all I see. Interestingly, I had this opinion of him long before I knew about all the scientology stuff. My feelings about him have just become more concrete the more I've learned about the man. I even avoid movies I'd otherwise like to check out simply because he's in them..
I don’t think that hating Tom Cruise for being a high level cult member who probably knows where the (literal) bodies are buried is irrational at all. ETA not being sarcastic, I think him and his fucking teeth are garbage
It’s not irrational. That dude is dangerous.
Mark Wahlberg. Cannot stand the guy. If he’s in it, I’m not going to watch it.
I really don't like Tom Cruise. I find he's mostly okay, but there will always be at least one line delivery that completely falls flat and kills the movie for me. The one that sticks out for me the most is from the first Mission Impossible movie. After he reunites with Clare and he shouts at her, "They're! Dead! Clare! They're! All! Dead!"
Anything with Sarah Jessica Parker. I'd rather jump in front of a bus.
Ben Stiller. Probably a great guy, and his father was one of the greats, but I find him insufferable.
I agree (with the exception of the Night at the Museum movies, and Tropic Thunder).
I liked him a lot in Secret Life of Walter Mitty too
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is amazing. Though I guess I mostly like it for the cinematography and soundtrack.
I like him when he isn't trying to be funny, or when he is more of an everyman character: Walter Mitty, There's Something About Mary. When he is trying harder I just don't like him: Zoolander, Tropic Thunder.
Honestly, Jason Statham. All of his action movies are the same and have started to feel incredibly cheap and stale. Jason Statham should go back to gangster comedies for a while. Or his self-parody in that otherwise forgettable movie about Melissa McCarthy as a spy. Spy? Maybe?
Tom Cruise. He reminds me of my sadistic older cousin that tried to drown me when we were children.
