For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

Seth Rogan

Will Farrell's later stuff

Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn was perfectly cast for Bad Monkey, IMO. He fit the role well, so he worked well for it.

He's solid (in my opinion) in Brawl in Cell Block 99 also, as one of his non-comedy roles.

Nick Cage.

Man’s not a bad actor, but he’s often cast in roles he has no earthly business being in.

Honestly, 7/10 of his castings are way off.

His acting is hammy, but he does that on purpose. His philosophy on acting is the method thing is good but it isn't an artistic performance. He puts his personality on the character.

@notgivingmynametoamachine Come on. "Valley Girl" was a classic 😎 Fer sure Fer sure.

Will Ferrell. He gives me the creeps and he isn't funny.

Shia LeBeouf, though he's mostly gone away at this point.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He's awesome in Fury, as everyone is in that movie

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That movie changed my mind on Jon Bernthal, he was so good in it. I had only seen him in the first season of Walking Dead and thought he was pretty bad. I think most of that was just the show though, the dialogue was terrible.

The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott

I’m surprised nobody’s said Ezra Miller yet.

Also Noah Centineo, Shailene Woodley, and - she seems like a sweet person but - Kristen Stewart.

Plus any Disney/Nickelodeon kids who never grew up past that phase; like Debby Ryan or Bella Thorne (though I don’t think she’s done much lately).

ETA: Lacey Chabert, as she’s exclusively in Hallmark-type slop now. It’s concerning.

Hugh Grant. I'm sure he's both a wonderful person and a great actor, but... he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He's become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.
