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 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.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Although I wouldn't call him an actor. So I'm not sure if I answered the question.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He was the highest paid actor a couple years ago so unfortunately I think we have to count him as an actor. He wasn't getting paid nearly as much in the WWE I don't think. He's nearing billionaire status. If he does barely anything he should probably hit it in the next 2-3 years.

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 71 points 3 days 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!"

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.

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.

Who would you cast in his place in Dallas Buyers Club?

Justin Long. I can't stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:

  1. Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
  2. Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.

Jeremy Renner.

Has he ever actually been good in anything (besides the Jeremy Renner app and his legendary rock and roll music)?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

he was pretty good in hurt locker.

I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I loved Jim Carey in The Majestic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Truman Show.

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.

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.

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.
