Maybe it should be remade as an Invader Zim vessel.

I love how Pacino seems to have no grasp of spacing in scenes. It's like he's always distracted by his wife flirting with a grip off-stage. Casting him as a blind guy kind of took advantage of it.

So they basically just took the star from bad movies and said they did a horrible job acting.

Jake Lloyd anyone?


Because he was a little kid? Barely had many acting credits, probably had bad direction as well.

Some of these are cult performances. Arny in Batman intentionally hammed it up. Those movies were admitted to be made to sell toys. Don’t think you can count it. Plus. Some of the best/worst one-liner puns in the history of cinema.

Liam and Ewen tried their best to salvage that mess. They brought their game. It’s just that no one else did.

George Strait in "Pure Country" is about as bad as acting gets. "Go on. Git yure arse outta here."

What the fricking hell are you doing posting a WatchMojo list you son of a bitch?!? I have a hard enough time blocking that bullshite from appearing in my YouTube feed as it is!


Also, no Chris Klein from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li = list fail. But I guess that should be expected since it's from a YouTube herpes sore like WatchMojo. What's next, a matpat jerk off session from The Game Theorists?

List is lazy. Just plug in the most commonly made fun of movies and you're done!

One of the most overrated actors of all time.

Some of those were bad movies, not performances.

Rihanna in Battle ship




That entire movie is so cringeworthy.

Sure, a floating museum can be up and running with a full compliment of weapons in just a few hours.

And in a movie about aliens who lose a battle to a WWII battleship, Rihanna was the most unbelievable thing.

Yeah pretty much this, that was my first thought.

It's not like each actor made the movies horrible all by themselves.

The biggest point to your argument is Sofia Coppola in Godfather III. (Though not a star.)

As if she alone is responsible for it being a terrible movie. I barely remember her performance (albeit I only saw the movie once as almost everyone alive.)

More interesting list would be great movies where one actor almost drags it down.

Look, I love Mark Hamill. Love the man. But his performance as Luke in the original Star Wars hovered juuuust above the dividing line between “bad acting” and “acting so bad it becomes a distraction.” He did get a little better for Empire and RotJ, at least.

It works in-character.

He was playing a hick farm boy who didn’t know shite from shinola so a lot of the bad acting can just be chalked up to being clueless.



Contrast this with a performance I listed upthread, Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough.

A wooden bimbo Bond Girl isn’t new. One who is supposed to be a nuclear physicist pretty much destroys a lot of the suspension of disbelief in any scene she appears in. While not what I would call great, the Bond Girl playing Dr Holly Goodhead in Moonraker didn’t completely embarrass herself in the role.

No mention of Keanu Reeves in any movie he's ever been in.
List is not legit, thread is not legit!
