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
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.

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:

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. |

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. |

Re: Actors that instantly turn you off a film
Agree with Stiller, disagree on Owen Wilson. He's a comedic genius.

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) |

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. |

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

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 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:

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.

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 :
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...sell-crowe.jpg 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).

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

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.
