Worst acting you have seen in film?

[Snee2]

And did it ruin the movie?

Adam Sandler in waterboy and yes it dif

The guy who played Dougal in Fr.Ted has ruined that nice Death in Paradise for me. He has one facial expression and his eyes swivel far too much.

Clearly none of you have watched Jared Leto’s “performance” in suicide squad!

I'd have said Dick van Dyke for that accent, even he wasn't happy with his performance to be fair.

Johnny Depp. So bad in so many things.
I remember when he was all Winona Ryder and Kate Moss and we thought he was the bollocks!

God, I loved Julia Sawalha in P&P, I thought she was brilliant. The perfect immature, self-absorbed annoying Lydia!

And Alison Steadman is one of my dream dinner party guests.

I hate to say it, as she's had a bit of a thrashing on this thread, but Keira Knightley in Everest.

Her Kiwi accent that was actually just an Aussie accent l, because she clearly couldn't master a Kiwi one was so annoying. Why not just cast someone who could do it, or, you know, a Kiwi...

The acting of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson in the Harry Potter films. They just cannot act.

What is more embarrassing is that they literally scoured the country looking for them.

Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker. He didn't ruin the movies, They were already terrible but he certainly didn't help.

Jared Leto as the joker jeezus wept it was ... no words !

Heath ledger brokeback mountain it was all mutter mumble mutter mumble really spoiled the film

Andi Macdowell - 4 Weddings

Keanu Reeves - Much Ado About Nothing

Sofia Coppola in The Godfather 3.

Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker. He didn't ruin the movies, They were already terrible but he certainly didn't help

Adam Driver isn't much better tbh

My DP has a great love for those crap “Sharknado” type movies. There was a particular gem on the horror channel last night “Terrordactyl” ... Christ I wanted to pull my hair out.

Ben Afflek: Gone Girl

Scarlett Johannson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Matchpoint. No chemistry whatsoever and ruined an otherwise brilliant film.

Hands down Abbie Cornish in three billboards. She nearly completely destroyed the movie for me.

Came on this thread to say Nicholas Cage in the remake of The Wickerman - but see Imhave already been beaten to it

Katie Holmes in Batman begins. No wonder they dropped her from the sequels. I’ve seen it before a couple of times and hadn’t noticed, but watched it the other day and my god she is awful.
Shame because I loved her in Dawson’s creek. But then they all acted like that in Dawson’s creek, talking like no actual person does, so I suppose I didn’t notice how awful she is.

Julia ormonde
No idea how she got parts in 3 pretty big films;
First knight
Sabrina
Legends of the fall
She is utterly without charm, talent or personality.

Agreed with most on this thread tbh..
Keira knightley
Kristen Stewart
Keanu (but he's so purty!)
Nicolas cage (with the exception of moonstruck)
Charlie sheen (my dad's famous)

cista I watched gone girl last night - dh said he though Affleck’s acting was awful as he didn’t seem like he cared, but that’s kind of the whole point - he didn’t. So to me I thought he acted like a person in his situation would.

"Is it still raining - I hadn't noticed." Is what sprung to my mind too but Andy McDowell dreadful in ANYTHING, even in adverts - pinnochio would be less wooden!!

Julie Walters - particularly in billy Elliott

Eddie redmayne in ANYTHING can't even abide him on chat shows, awful arrogant arse.

Ben affleck as Batman just that

Ben Afflek in anything tbf... he must know where some bodies are buried. How else is he getting these roles?

Judi Dench plays Judi Dench in everything she does.

Add to agree about Keanu. To detail the thread, what has happened to his eyelashes?

Age probably as you age your eyelashes thin
