Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) as Hank Jr. in Living Proof:



And for the record, I wasn't that impressed with JP as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line. He was too whiney.

Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist in The World is Not Enough

And I agree with Anakin Skywalker (the kid and the teenager), Sophia Coppola in Godfather Part III, and Keanu Reeves in Dracula and The Devil's Advocate.

Tom cruise in the Jack Reacher movie coming out.... Dude is like 6'5" in the books and people always start fights with him because of his size...... How can they change that much of a character and expect fans of the series to buy tickets???

I never liked Michael Keaton as Batman bc he was so physically unimposing.

Maybe the worst part of that steaming pile known as Battleship was Rhianna in the navy. She was a horrible actor and totally not believable.

I agree that Tripplehorn was bad in that role.

That role was similar to the one Ashley Judd played as the wife of Mathew McConaughey in A Time to Kill. At a point in the movies the viewer was expected to have sympathy for them because their husband's jobs put them in jeopardy. I never felt any for Jeanie.

Ashly Judd should have gotten the The Firm role. She could have seduced all of the partners, Cruise's character's brother, the Gary Busey PI character, Willford Brimley's character's fat butt and the albino and Sally Hunter together.

Maybe it's because the first thing I saw JT in was Basic Instinct. That kind of gave her a desperate, want-to-be-but-never-was vibe. I never thought she was very attractive. Still don't.

James Mardsen as Cyclops, simply not the chops for that role-although the role was written poorly.

Sophia Coppola is so far out in front, it makes Secretariat's Belmont win look close.

Diane Keaton in the Godfathers.

Terrible acting, total sourpuss, doesn't fit the mood of the pictures, doesn't match...and she completely sucks and battles Talia Shire in the contest of women trying to neuter men.

Almost ruined the movies for me...was hoping she would blow up in the car or go for a boat ride.


I actually blame Coppola and Puzo for that one. As great as they are at writing male characters, they are terrible at writing female characters. It's not an accident that the worst film of the Godfather trilogy (Godfather Part III) focused more on the female characters than the first two films did combined. Keaton is a great actress. She's proven her acting ability in Woody Allen films. She just didn't have much to work with in The Godfather. Meryl Streep or Katharine Hepburn in her prime wouldn't have fared much better in that role.

Holy shite this poor little Asian kid was terrible. I mean, did this kid audition and win the role over possibly hundreds of other better little Asians? I'm sure Jackie Chan had a son or nephew who could of played it. Terrible, just a piss poor effort

I've only seen this girl on SNL and Xmen, and she was awful in both.
