Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I'm sure there are some. Closest one for me is probably Nicolas Cage.

We have had this thread countless times, but Bruce Willis for me.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Shia Labeouf

I really want to watch "Charlie Countryman", which stars Mads Mikkelsen but I cant bring myself to it because its a "Shia Labeouf" film.

I really had a hard time watching Lar Von Trier's "Nymphomanic 1" and "Nymphomanic 2" because of Shia. Thank god he wasnt in much of part 1 and I haven't even finished part 2.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Jessica Alba
Hayden Christiansen
Sarah Silverman (usually)

*Makes mental note to choose a Bruce Willis movie for our next commentary*

Un breakable or sixth sense then. Or Sin City.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Sin City blows. I was thinking more along the lines of one of the first 3 Die Hard films, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys or Pulp Fiction.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Eh. Definitely not a Pulp fan.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Actually haven't seen the others. Well I've seen parts of the Die Hard movies but not enough for it to count.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

The Fifth Element is the most fun of those movies, IMO (and is in my top 100). It would probably work better for commentary than the others, too, since it's got a good amount of action and humor to it.

I can understand that, but she's also in the best opening scene in the history of film.

NSFW for language

As raul said, there's plenty of these threads, but I'll chip in with:

Sean Connery
Nic Cage
Daniel Day Lewis

Benicio del Toro, yummy! :love:

Can't stand Silverman (except for her voice performance in Wreck-It Ralph) and Way of the Gun was awful, but +rep for this:

The only blind commentary I've done was The Encino Man

Expand your horizons.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I don't like The Fifth Element, so fill yer boots, raul! You'll love it. :D

Benicio is my boyfriend. He doesn't know it yet, but he will.

I don't get the appeal. I find him actually rather unattractive and have never been particularly impressed with his acting either.

:shrug:

Will Smith - couldn't stand it when his name was connected with Tarantino's Django Unchained at one point... urgh.

Yeah, but he'd have to go away and pretend to do that too me for about 6 months before he felt he could do it justice. :rolleyes:

Obviously, there Satan for me, too. And, with a few exceptions, Steve Martin is a good sign of crappiness. Along with:

Chevy Chase, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Jackie Chan, Adam Sandler, Adrien Brody, Sean Bean, Dan Aykryod, Sigourney Weaver and Mel Gibson (since long before all his public problems)


Samuel L Jackson (post 2000), Kate Beckinsale, too, but just because they're usually in crap films/films I wouldn't want to watch. I have no problem with either of them.

He's been good in some stuff and horrible in others, I think. I don't think he's been particularly smart in his career and has chosen roles he's not right for.

Lately he's not looking as good, but there is something so incredibly sexy about him. I don't normally get crushes on actors, it's usually confined to a role they play, but I've had one on him for a long time now. It's something about the way he moves.

Well, maybe I can entice you with offering 21 Grams as a commentary:D

Black Snake Moan and Django Unchained. Watch them.

One that came to mind earlier when I was looking at the Comic Book Movies List:

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walt...s/baleblah.jpg


Can't stand him.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Christian Bale is very good in The Prestige though.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Javier Bardem.

Oh I have seen a few of his films but wow... he's annoying. Its sad too because "Skyfall" is one of my favorite 007 films. My Argentine friend suggested I watch "The Sea Inside" and that's about the only one I can handle him in. I have "Goya's Ghost" and "Biutiful" on dvd (at my friend's suggestion) but I have yet to watch them.

Jackman was better, though I don't like him either.

I completely agree. I can not stand Ben Stiller the most. I do not see how he is "funny", unless you consider him "Stupid Funny", and well that's not for me. Owen Wilson is a bit more tolerable but still not that funny.

I don't like either one, but Stiller to me is far, far more tolerable than Wilson. And Tropic Thunder was damn funny, though much of that is owed to Robert Downey, Jr.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Agree with Stiller, disagree on Owen Wilson. He's a comedic genius.

No. Just no.

Hell no.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Wedding Crashers. That's all I'll say.

Good movie, but not because of him.

Well, they are all great obviously. That's the best comedic cast for a film ever built IMO

No.

The only one I really like in Wedding Crashers is Vince Vaughn. Same for Old School.

What do you mean No? Its my opinion :)

I mean I disagree with your opinion. As usual.

It really boggles my brain how opposite we have become. Hell, it will be tough to agree on the next commentary :)

If this is a joke it's not funny.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I don't find Vince Vaughn funny either. He's a better actor overall than Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller.

Perhaps its because I don't like American comedies at all (I should say the more recent stuff within the past 2 decades)

Please don't give me Japanese statistics like Guap.

He can be quite good, even in dramas, though he's made a lot of crap recently. I've loved him ever since seeing Clay Pigeons. I watched it for Joaquin. I loved it for Vince Vaughn.

nope I find films like "Adam's Aebler" and "De grønne slagtere" funny. European Comedy is so much better and more "clean".

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Clean? Who the hell wants that?

Actually "Delivery Man" was a good film with Vince Vaughn. It was more of a Drama than a Comedy as most suspected it would be.

I get tired of jokes about Woman and Farting... at least Danish Comedy doesn't have that!!

I suggest giving Clay Pigeons a try. It's a suspense comedy. Vaughn plays a serial killer. I also suggest Return to Paradise, which is pretty heavy drama.

Thanks Miss Vicky, I will check them out when I can.

I'll try and get them both seen. :)

I knew if I kicked this off again someone would remind me of all the people I don't like. Thanks, MV. Can't stand him either.
Or him. Though I can understand forgetting Jackman as he's beige in human form.

No, it wasn't. It was awful.
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.6080...83240&pid=15.1
Exactly. I'm glad you agree with me. :p:D

Also, Vince Vaughn. How did I forget him? I've never liked him. Jon Faverau, too. Also, Paul Rudd (the only bad thing about Clueless), Greg Kinnear, Charlton Heston, Tate Donovan, Michael Rapaport, David Arquette, Jeff Goldblum, Freddie Prinze, Jr.

That last lot are just people who've turned up in Friends, which I adore, but by Christ did it have a load of people who ruin episodes. :( Especially Paul Rudd, who managed to ruin Phoebe. :bawling:

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Agree with HK that Tropic Thunder was awful. Worst movie the wife and I have ever seen in theaters.

I refuse to believe this. I can buy it's good, for a Vince Vaughn film. But not that it's good. BTW, have you seen the original, Starbuck?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbuck_%28film%29

What?! Are you kidding me? :eek:

I went into that movie expecting to hate it, but I absolutely loved it.

I take back what I said about Bubba Ho-Tep. Stay away from it. Stay far away from it. I don't need you hating it and then going in and dropping a bomb on the ratings thread.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Well in that case, I'll move Bubba Ho Tep up in my queue list

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I enjoyed Tropic Thunder. All of the actors did great jobs playing their characters.

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ld55p...6i6bo1_500.jpg

Come on, can you even tell that is Robert Downey Jr.?

Gwyneth Paltrow...I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow. And Katherine Heigl.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

kevin costner

not an actor but: M Night Shamalan

I probably haven't seen enough her movies to judge but Amy Adams is really hit or miss for me. I really liked her in The Muppets but couldn't stand her in Night of the Museum 2 or Man of Steel.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

With the exception of 1 or 2 films, Will Ferrell. He's really not as funny as some make him out to be.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Will Ferrell's not funny at all. :nope:

The meatloaf says otherwise.

Nope I haven't seen the original but I read about it after I seen "Delivery Man"... perhaps I will see it one day soon.

No Will Ferrell is horrible but if you seen the videos with the little girl Pearl and him... she's the one who steals the show..

Jonah Hill is a horrible actor as well.. not funny!

Watch the ''original'' version of Delivery Man .. Starbuck >>> Delivery Man .

The Dark Knight Trilogy , The Fighter , The Prestige , The Machinist , Rescue Dawn , American Psycho , Empire of the Sun , Equilibrium , 3h10 to Yuma and Public Ennemies .

All these movie (for me) are very good ... I don't really understand your though

I never said that there aren't any good movies starring Christian Bale. 3:10 to Yuma is one of my favorite movies and used to be in my top ten. But I love it in spite of Bale, not because of him.

Also, I don't consider The Dark Knight Rises, The Machinist, American Psycho or Public Enemies to be good movies. I've not seen The Fighter, Equilibrium, Empire of the Sun or Rescue Dawn, nor do I intend to.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I thought The Machinist was interesting stylistically and Bale's performance was very good but I figured out the "twist" pretty quick and the exploration of the guilty conscience theme wasn't exactly blazing new trails.

American Psycho was much better for me. Loved the horror satire of a shallow 80's mindset taken to its insane yet logical conclusion.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Will Farrell's older movies and his SNL stuff was funny, but Anchor Man was the turning point. Everything since then I haven't enjoyed much. I haven't even seen his most recent films, I just ignore him now.

Thank you!! I have never understood all the hate for Owen Wilson...no, he's no Daniel Day Lewis. but he does have the ability to carry a film and he proved that with Wedding Crashers.

Quite right. He's not that annoying. :p

The only film I've ever liked Christian Bale in is Empire of the Sun, after he grew up his performances are too 'actory' . When we went to see Harsh Times in the cinema we had a terrible giggling fit, crying laughing at the homeboy talk coming out of his mouth. Hilarious.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

There are a couple of actors I just can't stand, don't know why. The guy who tops my list has to be Matthew Fox. I watched his movie called We Are Marshall and haven't had the courage to even look at him ever since. Complete turn-off. Ugh.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey in comedic roles but not in dramatic roles where I quite like both of them. Ben Stiller in just about anything. I would never not watch a movie because of them because there are always exceptions. I liked "There is Something about Mary" and I quite liked "Dumb and Dumber and Happy Gilmore." I don't think any single actor could turn me off a film. If I can tolerate Ben Stiller, I can tolerate anyone.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Adam Sandler (except perhaps in Punch, Drunk, Love), Will Ferrel, Jim Carrey (in comedy), James Franco and Ashton Kutcher (I don't know why but I hate them both!

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

All that is perfectly reasonable, neiba and, by that, I mean I agree, therefore it's right. :D Though I've yet to see Punch Drunk Love. Started it and can't say I'm impressed.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Well, I'm not saying the movie is brilliant! But it shows that Sandler actually knows hot to act! :p

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

I liked everyone you guys mentioned so far. Comedians CAN be annoying but that's part of their character persona.

My dislike: Sandra Bullock, she reminds me of Sarah Palin.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

:eek: Wash your mouth out with soup. :D

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Ha!:) If it makes you feel better, I think Drew Barrymore is wonderful in most all of her movies.

It's along list and I'm sure I missed few :cool:

Christian Bale

Jonah Hill

Bradley Cooper

Russel Crowe

Tom Cruise

Hemsworth Family, all of them

Jack Black

Bruce Willis (is becoming one of them)

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Anston

(I have to mention) Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, & Taylor Lautner (although I never wanted to watch a movie but haven't because one of them. I just have never wanted to watch any movie they're in, and I hope it stays that way forever)

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Turn Off :

I hate him as hell don't like one movie with him in it ... I just cannot stand him

Another Turn Off:
http://croah.fr/wp-content/uploads/2...melgibson.jpeg
- One of the most overrated and boring actor of all time

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

lol

Joaquin Phoenix
Ben Stiller (I refuse, I mean "REFUSE" to watch any of his crappy films)
Jeff Daniels
Jason Segel

Oh there is more... far more....

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

Alec Baldwin (although I do like a couple of his performances, he usually turns me off).

Why?

I dont know... I guess its just the character he plays.... the first film I seen him in was "8mm" with Nic Cage and well I was just relieved when he died.. . felt the same way about him in "Gladiator".

I know he's one of your favorite actors but its just like Jake Gyllenhall, who I cant stand either. Sorry Miss Vicky!

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/george_clooney_01.jpg

Ever since Batman and Robin this guy has been on my s**t list. I almost did not see Gravity because of this guy. Luckily I like Sandra Bullock quite a bit, so I went to see her. Glad I did too since it was an AMAZING movie in 3D.

Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and/or Jennifer Aniston are huge blaring STAY AWAY signs for me

I think I'm the only one on the world who actually appreciate this movie hahaha

You and Sexy Celebrity are the only two I know of who like it.

He plays a whole bunch of characters that have little in common. Have you seen anything of his beyond those two films?

Signs, which isnt my favorite M Night film.. The Village, which I enjoyed.. Walk the Line which was ok... I seen Quills but dont remember him in it...and dont remember him in Hotel Rwanda.

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
 

His role in Hotel Rwanda is really, really small. I can't recall if he even had any lines. If he did, it was like a couple of sentences at best. Not sure how you can forget him in Quills, but okay.

Sexy love it because of Arny I guess ? but for me this is a movie from my childhood and I actually got it in classic VHS but I know it's bad just for the feelings I have about it I still appreciate it :p

for Quills, it was more about Geoffrey Rush... I am a huge fan of deSade... how can I forget to focus on Rush's character.. Kate Winslet just had a role that mattered because of Rush...

Like what ya like. I like quite a few crap movies too. Just not that one. :D
