Dwayne "I'm a rock" Johnson.

I feel that as a person, he seems like he'd be a nice guy, and he's a decent mindless action movie star, but the guy has literally never had a career.

hermes200:
Surprised no one mentioned Adam Sandler. He and his little rat pack of Grown Ups (Scheider, Spade) would be funny believing they are funny, if it wasn't pathetic.

I'm not big on Adam Sandler either, but his performance in Funny People, at least in the first half when the film was actually interesting, was rather sympathetic. But he'll never be taken seriously. I don't think its impossible for Sandler to pull off a good performance in a serious role, but at least as the old, goofy Sandler, whether you liked him or not, new exactly what he was trying to be in that Jim Carrey kind of way. But he'll never find a role that suits him more than a comedian going through a personal breakdown behind closed doors and sinking into his act.

If only that movie hadn't turned into a typical RomCom half way in when Sandler's character's health problem just kinda fixes itself.

I won't repeat as there are a LOT of people mentioned in this list i agree with... but for me.. it has to be Charlie Sheen.

Daystar Clarion:
Nobody has said Shia Lebeouf yet?

Damn guys, I thought you were better than this...

Oh be nice, he's not that bad of an actor!

I'd probobly say Sam Worthington too, he's not the worst actor I've ever seen but he's forgettable and thats a problem.

EDIT: Scratch that, Dwayne Johnson, the only good movie he has been in was "Get Smart"

you're right, that's really insulting the monument of a man that is The Wiseau.

a B-movie would be like...hmmmm Shoot'em up or somthing

thewase days the distinction is harder to make since "B-movie" is almost a style of its own (Tarantino makes Art/Bmovie/bloackbusters...well if not block busters they are succesful)

I don't like to trash actors or anyone really...but tom Cruise

not because of his acting ability, but because all of the crazy shit he's done I now CANNOT watch him in anything..he;s just too distracting

B-Movie these days would be about half the crap you find in a redbox methinks. I think the horror genre has sort of replaced the action genre in that particular slot of film making.

Brad Pitt, god all that man ever does in movies is eat.

Get out of here. Brad Pitt is awesome.

Se7en, Curious case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club, just to name a few...

Ok maybe he had a few movies that he wasn't terrible in. But Se7en and fightClub were the only ones. It's just a personal thing but i can't stand him.

yeah....horror is mostly B-movie stuff

of coarse B-movies arent the same thingas they were before

I think Ive seen one of those things before...how the hell do they work?

Ah, they function just like vending machines for movies. You just pick your film or game from the list, slide your card through, it feeds you your movie and you return it when you're done. It's like a dollar a day or something.

Orlando Bloom. My love for the first Pirates of the Caribbean film is slightly tarnished by the fact that I can't help but cringe in nearly every scene Will Turner is in. Seriously, it's a Disney film about pirates. Pirates. If that's not a free license to turn the ham up to eleven, I don't know what is. Johnny Depp got that. Geoffrey Rush got that (who, conversely, is all sorts of awesome). Legolas didn't.

But besides Pirates, he's been wooden and bland in just about every movie I've seen him in. What annoys me most is how his voice barely has any emotion in it at all -- the only way you can tell what he's meant to be feeling is by how quietly or loudly he speaks. I haven't seen a single film of his where he hasn't irritated me.

Also, Daniel Radcliffe. And I feel kind of awful for disliking his acting when he seems like such a nice guy in real life. Sorry, Harry.

Nicholas (worst fucking actor on the planet) cage! I liked a vampires kiss, but the only reason he was good in that movie was because the acting was suppose to be bad, so it doesn't count.

Jennifer Morrison, if you don't know who that's a good thing.

Megan Fox is terrible too and I don't even know who Sam Worthington is.

Whoever played Anakin in Episode I and II. Oh god I hate him so much.

Edit: Episodes II and III

whats to stop you from not returning it?

do they have your bank accoutn info and just keep charging? 0_0

Yep, a dollar a day straight out of you account. I'm guessing if you lose it you can just buy the movie or something. That or they just keep charging you until the day you die 0_0.

Fair enough... By association though, John Travolta... I forget, was he ever good in a film?

:P I was actually going to name him but forgot how to spell his last name and didn't feel like looking it up.

And no, no he hasn't.

Broken Arrow is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen...made even funnier by the fact that it's not supposed to be funny.

Now I think of it, He is probably the most famous, crap actor to appear in one of history's worst films ever made...

I think I have to call /thread at this point...

What movie was that?

Platypus540:

Jake Lloyd played him in Episode I. He actually sort of fell off the face of the earth after that. Hayden Christensen played him in Episode II and III. I recommend directing your seething hatred towards that individual (or just George Lucas).

Battlefield Earth. Probably one of the most fantastically bad movies ever made on a decent budget.

ummm...thats actually kind of scary..them having acess to your bank acount

like what if you lost/forgot about the thing and then went away for a while where you didnt use your card/bank..by the time you got home you were broke

bahaha, that could never happen. No way.... Right?

*never uses Redbox again*

All the people on this list only play ONE Goddamn character, and it's themselves: Michael Cera, Jack Black, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Seth Rogan, Will Ferrell.

All the people on this list can't even do that much: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Shia Lebeouf, Megan Fox.

I cant see how anybody could hate jack Black after The Pick of Destiny.

OT: Duane Johnson has no business in movies

Raven's Nest:

Well I can't argue for that reason alone. But he's been terrific in the past. Interview with a vampire, Top Gun, Collateral, The Last Samurai, Valkyrie, Eyes Wide Shut... All very different roles but he is great in all of them.

Of that list, I'll grant you Top Gun, Interview with a Vampire, and Last Samurai, the rest were absolute crap if you ask me.

I will admit, though, I don't like Tommy as a person in general, so that does bias me towards disliking his acting.

Fair enough... By association though, John Travolta... I forget, was he ever good in a film?

Just you know my favourite movie of all time: Pulp Fiction.

You uncultured cur

Dennis Quaid takes the cake in my books. The man looks and talks like he is terribly and painfully constipated at all times. In every one of his movies, Quaid's "bearing down" face and unintelligible grunting noises turn even the most serious drama into comedy.

Runners Up: Nicolas Cage & Mark Walberg.

Male: Craig Horner. There will be no discussion of this point. He has the charisma and personality of a rock . . . and less acting talent.

Female: Bridget Regan. When you set out to play a regal, powerful, respectable, intelligent mature woman, and instead play a skank who has taken on airs, you have no talent.

Vin Diesel?
I mean, the guy can only play 1 character - Vin Diesel.

You better hope Diesel doesn't hear of this slander, lock your door just to be safe. Wait, who am I kidding, he'd just punch through your wall.

I don't pay very much attention to actors. .. but that girl from transformers . . .because, well do I really even need a reason?

what would define a bad actor is someone who can not act well, who's performance is unbelievable and actively detracts from the movie they are in. People can say Cage or Schwarzenagger, yet in the movies they are usually a part of their acting fits the tone of the movies. They are by no means good actors, but they are far from the worse.
An actor that is typecast but can still display the role they are acting is also not a good choice here. Cera has a face I want to hit with a brick, but that alone does not make a bad actor. And in spite of it all, he can display believable emotions and fill the character role of a story well.

No, the only ones that really come to mind are the ones where the performance seems either utterly missing or are so off they dispel the illusion of the movie by how they are performed. Kristen Stewart for the former and Shia LeBeouf for the later. I suppose I could throw mention of the likes of Megan Fox, but I have only seen her in transformers myself and that is not a fair judge of her acting chops when the director's only guidance is "be eye candy"

I am surprised no one has mentioned Chaning Tatum (The Vow, 21 Jump Street) or Chris Motherfucking Hensworth (Thor and Avengers... as Thor), everytime either of them open their mouth I just think: "Dear god please let them shut up for once!" Hensworth is an Australian and tries to make his accent into a Norwegian one that is god awful and made me ashamed to be Australian.

The amount of awesomely hilarious Nicolas Cage videos in this thread delights me. How can anybody watch those and then come to the conclusion that "yeah man, this guy sucks"?!

Sacha Baron Cohen
Adam Sandler
Ben Stiller

I really can't stand the movies that these guys do, and thats all they done. It seems like they do a different movie with the same jokes.
