For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

I don't care for "Home Alone 2" star Donald Trump

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A bit player at best.

In his latest role he's basically Walmart Hitler

Pretty tired of seeing Chris Pratt's face everywhere. His early career was great, but I find him obnoxious these days

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 74 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Perfect for parks and rec and guardians 1. Everything since then has just been typical Hollywood overuse. "People like him let's put him in everything!"

Used to be different but Jack Black needs to go away. Every time I see him in something its the same character over and over, pudgy loser that plays air guitar and scats at every opportunity cause he's all quirky like that.

Jared Leto. All his best roles are the ones that could have been better, if they were played by someone else.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I hate him, too, but he was good in Blade Runner 2049. I mean, the role should have come naturally since he was playing a narcissistic sociopath.

Steven Seagal, he’s complete garbage on every level. He can’t act, he can’t run, he’s a sex trafficker and rapist, and his whole career was started with a bet by producers to make the most incapable and unlikable person famous.

Also, aikido, he can’t even do a stupid useless fake “martial art” invented to sell to suburbanite children properly.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Did you not see that demonstration where he effortlessly destroys an entire dojo of people by wrist-flipping them one at a time without moving his hands more than 20cm?

Thats raw skill.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

That’s a good point, most of them didn’t even come in contact with him before they went flying through the air. Probably a chakra thing, just using raw spirit energy like Naruto.

Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don't realize it's him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I agree, but I'll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they're on.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

Edge of Tomorrow is just Tom Cruise getting killed over and over again. It's great for people who hate Tom Cruise!

Jamie Foxx and his associates were at an adjacent table at at restaurant in LA years ago. He was a total cunt to wait staff. Pure asshole to his core. Restaurant comped our meal because he ruined the evening for everyone.

Mark Wahlberg is a racist that once tried to beat a Vietnamese person to death while shouting "I hate the Vietnamese" and other racist shit in the past.

Hollywood is starting to make me dislike Pedro Pascal only because he's in EVERY DAMN THING.

I actually like the guy, but overexposure is a thing. And he could stand to just chill for a little while.

The first one that comes to mind is Jared Leto. Can't stand him in any role but I will tolerate him in Requiem for a Dream. And even then I've only seen that movie once which is more than enough.

My wife laothes Tom Cruise. Hard stop. No exceptions. I don't have any problems with him as an actor, the Scientology insanity is a whole other matter.

...maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.

Chris Pratt's only good films were the Guardians of the Galaxy fims and the Lego Movie and his face wasn't even in one of those.

Scar Jo. She's just not a good actor. Same with Gal Gadot. Also Jack Black and Seth Rogen and the Rock, they don't act - they're just themselves in every movie.

Adam Sandler. I personally feel that his humour is aimed at school children - making silly faces and silly voices and basically making fun of the disabled or neuroatypical - but it's marketed to adults.

But I like 50 First Dates. He's mostly not a shouting toddler in that.

I couldn't stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven't minded the guy.

Will Farrell and people who have the same "try hard" comedy style as Will Farrell; Steve Carrell, Ben Stiller, etc.

Anthony Mackie.

He has a face that is simultaneously smug and dumbstruck. He ruined Altered Carbon, he was the weakest part of the Falcon & Einyer Soldier series, and he just screams “Overrated” to me.

But he was ok in 8 Mile.

Amber Heard. I used to find her attractive and her acting is decent. Then, the whole court case fiasco happened and I just can’t tolerate her anymore. I haven't watched Aquaman because of her.

There are no exceptions.

Kevin Spacey. Because the people that accuse him of raping them keep committing suicide right before trial. And then he released that creepy video of himself sitting in front of a fireplace talking about "killing them with kindness". I've refused to watch anything with him in it since I found out.

Jared Leto (I don't know why, I just really don't like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.

This will be an unpopular opinion but I cannot stand Nic Cage. He's unwatchable to me. His mannerisms, his delivery, everything about him tweaks me the wrong way.

I came here to say Will Ferrell with the same exception, then read your post.

Stranger Than Fiction shows Will Ferrell is perfectly capable of being a good actor playing interesting roles, but chooses to just play low effort trash.

Chris Pratt, I never got why he’s famous. I was never a fan anything he did he just seemed like a one trick pony. (Be the dumb/funny chubby guy) then he did Guardians of the Galaxy and yes I did enjoy it but that’s about it. And with him being casted in almost everything lately I’m done with him.

Jessie eisenberg. He only plays jessie Eisenberg. I hate his whiny delivery. The “Now you see me” movies were awful, and he ruined Lex Luthor.

I can’t think of anything he’s been in that I’ve thought was good.

(Nicholas hoult as LL looks great though)

Joaquin Phoenix, no exceptions. And it's totally not fair. He's a gifted actor, and I can't stand him for some reason.

This is very similar to whatever beef I have with Sean Penn.

Tom Cruise - but damn, his performance in Tropic Thunder is a masterclass.

The first time I saw the film, I didn't even recognize that he was in it.
