You asked a question. I answered it. Stop getting upset I don't agree with you.axlryder said:

Upset? We're having a conversation, broskie. I'm merely questioning your position because I find it questionable. No need to go making ridiculous accusations of people of getting upset just because you want to bail out the conversation.8-Bit_Jack said:

As for the worst guy, as much as I'd love to say anyone from the Twilight series, I have neither seen those movies or anything they've done outside the series.
So...Hayden Cristiansen. Yep, Anakin sucked big balls in terms of acting and his other efforts were even worse.
And I've explained my position. And you've responded "nu-uh!" and repeated your prior statement. And I'm bored now. Also, having read the rest of your post now, I have to add: will smith is a shitty actor too.axlryder said:
Actually, I made new points, and you had yet to really reinforce your own position with any kind of decent reasoning, basically just saying they're bad because you think they're bad and you somehow try and equate derivative humor to bad acting. Again, baseless accusations of people getting upset based around your own desire to bail are silly. If you no longer want to defend your position it's not as though finishing off with a childish personal attack is somehow going to make you seem more informed or intelligent.8-Bit_Jack said:
Also, you can hate on Will Smith all you want, but given the quality of your reasoning so far I doubt too many people are going to take your opinion seriously (unless you're talking about the POS Seven Pounds). He's really not a great actor, though, just decent and pretty hit or miss.

There are only 3 indiana jones movies. Not four.
And to give an actual answer. The worst actor... From an objective standpoint: Almost any porn 'actor' =D In all seriousness The plethora of male actors who are taking over the 'action' star roles. And then all the females who are taking over the 'hot' role. Also Vince Vaughn. If you count 'today'
Personal standpoint: Olivia Wilde. She doesn't show emotion, much like kristen stewart. However everyone loves Olivia cause she's 'hot' Much like scarlet johansson (sp?)
But my opinion doesn't matter, there are 11 pages and noone maybe besides the guy i'm quoting is gonna read this.
First of all, Nicolas Cage is a goddamn treasure, and when he dies
or quits acting the world will be duller for it.
I once thought that Mark Wahlberg fit the bill, but there are too
many good things that he's been involved with over the years
(Boogie Nights, I Heart Huckabees, The Fighter, The Departed,
and The Other Guys, off the top of my head) to consider him.
His performance in The Other Guys is actually pretty brilliant;
about 90% straight man, but with just enough in the way of
intentionally off-kilter asides so that you understand that
he's parodying the macho, take-no-prisoners attitude of the
average movie cop.
If I consider longevity (meaning no actors who have just come up
within the last 5-10 years), I'm probably going to choose Keanu
Reeves. The films that his brand of acting worked in (the first
Matrix film, A Scanner Darkly) were films that required him to
seem dazed or vaguely disoriented; in other words, whatever his
performance added could have be replicated by another, better
actor on Valium.
I've always found Ben Affleck to be terribly boring considering the
amount of attention he got, but maybe I haven't seen enough of his
work to properly judge him.
I suppose Adam Sandler may belong, but I fault him more for his
laziness and lack of ambition than anything else; Punch-Drunk
Love and Funny People, at the very least, that he's capable of
considerably more than he normally shows. He's been amazingly
successful, though, and maybe that's what's most important to him.
Too tired to say anymore tonight.

You may think that Kevin Spacey is a bad actor, but by the time you realize the truth, he's gone. Run out and try to catch him, but you won't find him. He's already had his driver pick him up. Don't bother looking for fingerprints.8-Bit_Jack said:
More seriously, he has worked hard in the past. You're allowed to take some stupid easy roles and method act a campy Lex Luthor if you want from time to time.
As for me, I'm going with Gerard Butler. Talk about a guy who oozes nonchalance, in spite of his complete and total lack of talent.
Nicholas Cage would be fine if he didn't act in everything given to him and didn't play the same character in those shitty movies. I do love the good movies he's in though.
Kristen Stewart is just horrible though. If you need someone to play touchy emo kids who you want to punch in the face, she works. Once the last Twilight movie disappears maybe she will too.
If you actually catch any of Sam Worthington's stuff that's not all action, it's actually pretty good.
For the worst male actor though? Taylor Lautner. He can play one role convincingly: An alpaca

All of mine have been mentioned, but here goes:
Shia LaBeouf: Most punchable face ever.
Michael Cera for never being able to speak above a fucking whisper.
Jack Black for being so stereotypically American he almost made me believe there was such a thing as a stereotypical American.
And Adam Sandler for making an entire career out of being a jackass with poor impulse control.
Also I'd throw in Will Smith for consistently ruining films I was looking forward to, but he gets a reprieve for Bad Boys and Bad Boys II.

My vote goes to Jean Claude Van Damme,
there's this ongoing series he has, I forgot the name of it, thank god for that. Something about assassins? cops? no idea. His '''action''' films are appalling too. Movement he makes seems sluggish and rehearsed, the camera angles nearly always show a direct MISS, yeah it's just bad.
The guy sits behind a desk and rambles on with some lines that don't even make sense and I'm 99.9% sure he's just reading the text off some damn screen.

Mila Kunis? Really? I thought she was pretty good in Black Swan and Friends With Benefits... Keanu Reaves is definitely not the worst either....BlakBladz said:ROUND TWO
Dick Van Dyke
Jean Claude Van Dame (yes-- dame)
Keanu Reaves
Steven Seagal (I've raged at my friends so many times about my Seagal hatred)
Dolph Lundgren
Mila Kunis
Sandra Bullock
Vin Diesel
Dane Cook
Orlando Bloom
Bile Filter is maxed out. Time to take a break and watch 'Running out of Time'.
OT: I have a unreserved passionate hate for anything starring Megan Fox, she's not a good actor and she's generi-hot which is a sad, sad combination for somebody in films. on a more specific note, everybody who touched the steaming pile of crap that was 'The Dark is Rising', it made me want to great my eyes with a cheese grater...
Rihanna-oh wait, you said actor? Let me just delete any memories I had from Battleship.
Right, well the actor who played John Carter is pretty much the new Sam Worthington when it comes to playing generic action role lead in any big budget action movies. I second Shia LaBeuof and Megan Fox and anyone else from Transformers. I was also going to say Channing Tatum, but I actually thought he was genuinely funny in 21 Jump Street. I also can't stand Ben Stiller or Jack Black, and Adam Sandler would probably be here too if it wasn't for the fact that Punch-Drunk Love is one of my favourite films of the last decade.
