Woody Allen. Everything about the way he acts just makes my skin crawl.

I don't think I like any of the comedies I've watched from Adam Sandler, but his dramatic stuff is fantastic.
Shia LeBeouf was tolerable (some might even say good) in Fury, but other than that, yech.
Tom Cruise - Dudes a freak and a weirdo but Tropic Thunder was funny af.
Will Smith - After the Oscar’s.
The rock - Phony and plays the same person all the time.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Although I wouldn't call him an actor. So I'm not sure if I answered the question.
Leo DiCaprio. No exceptions. The movies he's been in that I've enjoyed were enjoyed despite him and not because of him.
His entire approach to a character is to put on an over-the-top accent and call it a day. I've never had the sense that any of his characters were the actual character and weren't just "Leo with an accent". I'll be fair and say that he has improved in recent years, with movies like The Revenant being tolerable.
But holy shit, how his career went anywhere when people saw his "acting" in Titanic and especially Romeo and Juliet, is mind-boggling to me.
Danny McBride. I can grit my teeth if he's playing a small role, 30 Minutes or Less was pushing the limit, but he so often plays the same insufferable, arrogant asshole and he plays it too well.
I have two.
I do not like Will Ferrell in his typical roles at all and I’m glad I’m not the only one saying this anymore. Everyone quotes Anchorman and I just did not enjoy that at all, or Elf, Step Brothers, or any of his “everyone loves” movies. Stranger Than Fiction, however, was amazing and I wish he would do more roles like that.
Tom Cruise is my other one. I find his acting very bland and unappealing. Mission Impossible has put me to sleep every time I try to watch it. I am not a big fan of Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, or any of them. My Cruise exceptions are Tropic Thunder which I wish he did more comedic roles like that and Minority Report, not a perfect movie but it was the very first DVD I ever owned so there is a bit of nostalgia tied to it.
Jared Leto, too bad he is in the Tron: Ares which I'm almost looking forward to watch simply because of nine inch nails...
Ryan Reynolds. The exception would be Waiting. I’m just so over him and his one dimensional acting.
A name I haven't seen in this thread is Owen Wilson. I hate his aloofness and his delivery. When combined with Ben Stiller it's a force multiplier.
I definitely don't like the guy who played kylo ren.
Seems like his popularity was completely forced.
Star Wars is about the only movie I don't like with him, and it's not because of his acting, but as you maybe meant his whole character feels forced in.
Other than that, can't hate anything Adam Driver is in - dude is an astounding actor, I'm usually floored by his performances in other movies. Doesn't have Brad Pitt looks or whatever, but boy can he play convincingly absolutely any part they give him, and that's why I think they give him tons.
Step on my throat, Adam Driver, you rudely large man. Break my fingers, you brooding mountain
Tom Hanks.
He knows what he did.
Was it fucking the volleyball because I think that was his finest performance.
Haha, will Ferrell as well!
Except Lego movie. (Haven't seen stranger than fiction but I'm led to believe that would be the second exception to my "I can't stand will Ferrell" rule, and a rule is only allowed 1 exception)
All the supposed comics - Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Steve Martin, etc. Even a lot of Jim Carrey's stuff - the humor is sophomoric at best.
Tawny Kitaen and Alex Kingston. I can't stand them, they're nails on a blackboard. It's why I gave up on NuWho. Gal Gadot, but that's mostly because her acting is wooden and characters uninteresting.
