Overrated Actors
I don't know whether this has been done or not, I'm newww! Cut me some slack. Haaa.
Okay, so name some actors and actresses, where people are like "OMG soooo gooood!" and you're like, "Ehhh." :p Halle Berry Kira Knightley *Gosh...that same facial expression...just...NO.* Orlando Bloom Matthew Mconaughey Kate Hudson Nicholas Cage Harrison Ford Jim Carey *ugh...just NO...* George Clooney Julia Roberts Angelina Jolie Meg Ryan Jude Law Hugh Grant ...now, I'm not saying that these actors haven't seen their good days, because, most of them HAVE... but these are the actors that just...don't do anything spectacular, in my opinion. who's on your list? oh, and feel free to disagree with whatever you see on my list! :D |

Oh, wait.... |
Re: Overrated Actors
Oh, wait, he's also incredibly popular. Isn't it at all conceivable that people are overrating Sandler as an entertainer? I love it when you play sheriff over the arbitrary parameters of threads like this one or that one thread where you were up in arms over what truly constitutes a guilty pleasure or whatever. It's very helpful.

Re: Overrated Actors
Oh? I just constantly see Cusack listed as the redeeming factor in most reviews of the stinkers he's in. Though, not being a fan don't follow his career explicitly.

Re: Overrated Actors
Hard to say whether a particular actor is rated properly. Only the huge stars have any consensus as to their talent, really.
So, that said, whether or not she's rated properly, I think Scarlett Johansson is pretty flippin' mediocroe in the majority of her roles. She is, of course, stunningly purdy, but to quote Paula Poundstone -- "couldn't we just have a picture of her in the corner of the screen?" |

Re: Overrated Actors
Not sure you could really call him overrated, but Kevin Costner is approaching Keanu in the wooden stakes if you ask me.

Re: Overrated Actors
George Clooney. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but he looks the same in every damn movie.

Re: Overrated Actors
I really like a lot of John Cusack films too and, for me, he's more of a draw than most Hollywood actors.

Re: Overrated Actors
Bogart and Guinness are dead, so I never see movies anymore because of the cast. It's all based on the whole enchilada. When I get them through rentals, it's one of two kinds: flicks I missed at the theatre or rare films, mostly foreign, I cannot see unless I rent them. When I watch them on cable, it's based on serendipity because I rarely plan that out before I start scoping out the menu. :) I rarely buy films for myself anymore although I have a handsome collection.
As far as Cusack goes, I'd never call him overrated, but that's just the kinda guy I am. HA! :cool: |
