:
Most terrible actors (subjective POV)
Just out of curiosity, and sheer boredom as well, list 3 current actors that you think are absolutely terrible that they totally ruin what is/could be a good film.
* Actors that even though the premise of the film is brilliant (or how awesome the teaser/trailer is), you would still avoid it because of said actor.
* Actors that no matter how many awesome the rest of the cast is, you would still avoid the movie because of said actor.
* Actors whose movie that you wouldn't even find it worth pirating and watching for free.
So... who in your opinion is that bad despite their success? BTW, its open for discussion should you disagree with your peers. I guess the only rule is, they have to be somewhat successful so that the names are somewhat recognizeable to everyone.
And of course, its only wrong for the OP not to start:
1. Tobey Maguire
2. Antonio Banderas
3. Justin Timberlake

Yeah I'd say all his flicks were pretty good watches right up until his bankruptcy (or financial troubles if the guy's not bankrupt yet).
He's not that big yet, but another addition I'd have to say is fellow Canadian Jay Baruchel. The few films I've seen him, his characters are always annoying. It's like he's trying to always play the "loveable geek" which seems to be the trend now with Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jesse Eisenberg etc but he's just getting the "geek" part; not the loveable part. And an irritating geek at that.

the only movie i ever liked him in was punch drunk love..
bill murray is in the same category, he may have been acting for 40 years now but he is just being himself in all his movies, from groundhog day to lost in translation, same monotone, sarcastic characters

You all need to listen to the pod cast: How Did This Get Made? where some actors and writers and comedians dissect bad movies (some are funny bad, some are insane bad, some are just terrible).
By miles and miles and miles, Nic Cage has the MOST movies covered so far.
I can't stand Adam Sandler though.
didnt nick cage make all those movies because he went broke because of his stock broker or something like that

You are too hard on Nick Cage. While I agree not all his movies are good, my all time favorite movie is Family Man and he was great. I must've seen that movie 15 times growing up. They play it every Christmas.
Seems like a lot of you judge actors harsher than actresses. I guess as long as the broad is hot, which they usually are if they play a lead role, then their acting would be overlooked.

Agreed. I watch him because I always have the hope he'll surprise me with an awesome performance.
Besides, not all good actors are consistent. Just look at Kevin Spacey or Robert De Niro. Spacey was awesome in Usual Suspects but was terrible in Father of Invention.

I like matt damon, the guy has talent man. Good Will Hunting, Bourne series, talented mr. ripley, rounders, true grit, adjustment bureau, he's in a lot of movies I like.
Kevin costner basically plays the same character, but the guy did make tonnes of classics.

I liked J-Lo in The Cell.
Two more to add:
Billy Bob Thornton is lucky to be cast in movies where he can behave in a certain way. Hes not a good actor. Not by a long shot.
I can't see him ever playing a businessman role. Or a scientist role. Only a grouchy blue collared (insert profession here).
And I worry that Sandra Bullock isn't a very good actress. She seems cool. I like her, think she'd be awesome to hang out with, and I would absolutely WRECK that, but shes been in some baaaaad movies so I think my judgement may be clouded.
