For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

  • Adam Sandler

  • Jennifer Lopez

  • "Insert ex-Saturday Night Live actor here"

  • Leonardo DiCaprio (I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I've believed he was a shit actor forever and there's a reason it took him so long to get an oscar...and it wasn't because of "snubbing"...he was just routinely shit up until the Revenant.)

  • John Travolta

  • Jennifer Lawrence (Up until recently, she was literally the female DiCaprio. Everything I said about him applied to her. Unlike DiCaprio, she got far far better rather quickly and my issue with her nowadays is mostly her choice of movies just aren't my jam.)

  • Tom Cruise

I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.

All credit goes to the director, as Denis gets top notch performances from every single person in his films.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 15 points 1 day ago

It probably helped that he had a relatively minor role in it too. The face of his faction of characters in the film was Luv

[–] Helluh@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Kevin Hart- doesn't act, plays himself but doesn't lean into that like Ryan Reynolds does. Will Smith- more of the above in recent years Jonah Hill- something inside me screams asshole every time I look at him Tom Cruise- he can take his propaganda elsewhere.

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Kevin Hart

Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)

Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense

Oh and (am Asian and tried to give her a chance but) Akwafina makes me cringe

Honorable mention: Adam Sandler makes me very wary. I get that he likes making movies with friends, but goddang his lows are low. Although recently I thought Uncut Gems was good

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I +1 that Will Smith sentiment.

I feel like a hypocrite somewhat, since I'm aware of other actors who did far worse things and yet I'm not as put off in a similar manner. I guess it's easier to separate the art from the artist in some people more than others...

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

He was great in action/comedy big blockbuster flicks but that Oscar slap made him super insecure and uncool. Like he lost his swag. Will Smith doesn’t sell that he’s That Guy anymore

The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Will Ferrell. He gives me the creeps and he isn't funny.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I’m surprised nobody’s said Ezra Miller yet.

Also Noah Centineo, Shailene Woodley, and - she seems like a sweet person but - Kristen Stewart.

Plus any Disney/Nickelodeon kids who never grew up past that phase; like Debby Ryan or Bella Thorne (though I don’t think she’s done much lately).

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Shia LeBeouf, though he's mostly gone away at this point.

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's awesome in Fury, as everyone is in that movie

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 16 hours ago

That was a surprise, usually hate him

Amber Heard, Will Ferrell, Rodney Dangerfield, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Poor guy can't get no respect

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hugh Grant. I'm sure he's both a wonderful person and a great actor, but... he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He's become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I never really liked him before, but I'm down with his recent villain arc.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.

I don’t switch anything off faster than when Danny McBride shows up

[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I used to think he was just a crass asshole but after watching and then loving Righteous Gemstones, he grew on me. Gemstones is such a crazy, hilarious, and satisfying show and the fact that he created/showran it changed my mind about him
