Pretty much the entire cast of Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace


You honestly think Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor and Emperor Palpatine did poorly in that movie? Either you are smoking crack or that is just blind hatred for the Phantom Menace. Anakin and Jar Jar ruin it for most people, not the 3 previously mentioned.

I will also say that there seems to be dividing line on Phantom Menace based on age. Those that are over age 30 and lived with the originals for a while seem to despise the prequels. Younger generations did not have to wait 17 years for Episode 1, did not build up their expectations to unreachable heights, and enjoy the prequels. I personally love the prequels despite both actors that played Anakin and despite Jar Jar. Everything else was awesome to me.

Holy shite.

Arnold Schwarzenegger- Mr Freeze. Terrible movie in general. His role was awful.


nobody could have played that role well with how horribly written it was.

worst played role should be reserved for an actor that either did a terrible job with otherwise good to great material or did an awful job of bringing a known character to life.

examples

Sofia Coppola in Godfather 3 - so bad that even as a somewhat minor character she is all most anyone remembers and is why most call the movie awful.

Micheal Gambon in Harry Potter series - Did he play an English school headmaster ok? Sure, I guess. Was he true to the character of Dumbldore? frick no, he was nothing like the book character. He even admitted he didn't read the books and gave not one frick about playing the character as he was written.

Keanu Reeves in Much Ado About Nothing - Did Kenneth Branagh cast him b/c he thought Keanu could legitimately do Shakespeare or was he simply making sure nobody upstaged him?

This was particularly frustrating after we had two movies of Richard Harris playing it absolutely perfectly. I hated Gambon as Dumblebore in every movie. He had zero connection with Harry and, while trying to come off as tough and in charge, came off as far weaker and less in control that the calm, ever competent, all knowing Richard Harris version. The final 6 movies could have been so much better with the right Dumbledore.

Ohhhh this is true. The definition of wooden. I enjoy that movie, and view him as a comic relief!

Hell, he is so bad he makes it easy to forget that Denzel Washington is his brother and somehow Prince of Aragon in an era he would probably be killed for looking like a Moor.

Every single actor in The Core. If the movie would've had a sense of humor about itself like Starship Troopers they'd have earned forgiveness. I guess you can partly blame the writer/director on a lot of these, but if the principles sign up after they read this tripe it's open season.

The Core was just a silly movie that no cast could've rescued

I liked Tobey ok as Spider-Man. Not great but not horrible. I don't blame Tobey for Spider-Man 3.

In the "movie" Daylight; Sylvester Stallone as Kit Latura, a disgraced former New York City Emergency Medicial Services (EMS) Chief, and CURRENT LIMO DRIVER, who tries to save the survivors trapped inside the Holland Tunnel.

probably the only role he's actually played right
Id say the first Matrix and Constantine are about the only things he's done right.

I don't know about worst, but Sean Penn as Willie Stark in All the King's Men was just a terrible miscast.

Penn is a great actor, but was a total mismatch for the iconic character. He was brooding and had not an ounce of charisma.
