The Most Overrated Actor/Actress

[Daytripper]

I thought 'gangs of new york' and 'shutter island' were dreadful. Like someone sat and wrote a load of nonsense specific to combine a stellar cast before any ideas for em were thought through.
Di Caprio is suffering from over saturation exposure. Needs a few choice low budget off the rails type stories, in fact a couple of comedies would be great. See if his timing holds up.

I wonder how his career would have turned out if he had not turned down the role of Anakin Skywalker.

Sarah Jessica Parker, absolutely can not act, I am unsympathetic to every character she plays, I am not convinced that she looks anything other than a distracted horse and I resent movie moguls attempting to convince me otherwise.

 

[Tommy Chong]

I think you are right , I remember media comparing him to Brando tho , I don’t see it personally although Martin Scorsese has praised him constantly and he knows far more about filmmaking than I ever could. I thought he overacted a bit in The Departed as well.

Tarantino as well... I liked him in Django Unchained.


Oh, and another one: Jesse Eisenberg... Annoying little whiney tit and probably the worse Lex Luther.

He made the right choice. They may have paid well, but those three laborious stinkers are still awful now. And it was naughty altering the originals.

He needs a 'my cousin vinny' or a 'napoleon dynamite', and a 'little miss sunshine'. He could get some of these projects up and running. He'll have starring roles till he's buried and gone, but there's efficacy in the support stuff, especially if it's good.

Sean Dyche - acting like a football manager

Ryan Reynolds

Paul Rudd. Plays same bland character in every film

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Not a fan of the 'Sex in the City' franchise, I take it?

So you've never taken one of those quizzes to see if you're more of a 'Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda'?

And shame on you There''s nothing she can do about her looks!

 

[Walken]

Paul Rudd. Plays same bland character in every film

Great dancer though

Mate? I watched her in "Failure to launch" last night - she speaks her lines with the emotional conviction of a Current Affairs bot and can't deliver any sincerity whatsoever.

Miranda. I am a Miranda.

She would make a boss Secretariat

I saw the clip below with Ray Liotta saying who he considered the most overrated actor was in the 80's & 90's. Let's not stick to those two decades though.

So... Who do you consider to be the most overrated actor/actress?

Personally, I'd go with Tom Cruise and maybe Will Smith.

​

I disagree with Tom Cruise. He’s doing what he loves, which is being a barm pot and pulling off mad stunts. I’d argue the last few Mission: Impossible films have been some of the best action movies in the past decade.

I want to see him play a crazy character (basically himself) again before he retires, in Magnolia he was fantastic, probably my favourite performance from him

Will Smith on the other hand is a horrible try hard who always goes for the Oscar bait' pull on your heart strings' roles.

Oh, and in response to both of these:

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Will Farrell.

Id love to hit him in the face with a shovel.
