Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Seems there are some actors/actresses who get a lot of flack for not being that great, and in many cases, it is warranted. However, every once in a while said actor will play a role in which they actually do a decent job and surprise.
My examples: Keanu Reeves in The Gift Kristen Stewart in Adventureland and The Runaways Christian Slater in True Romance |

:up: for Keanu Reeves in The Gift.
I'll add Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street. I enjoyed his performance more than Jonah Hill's. |

Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
I totally forgot that Keanu Reeves was in the gift, so I looked it up. Turns out Cate Blanchett was in it too. And Hilary Swank!

Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love

Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Not a movie but I remember being quite impressed with Brandon Routh after seeing his performance on Chuck.
After not being able to say five words throughout Superman Returns, I just assumed he was a pretty face. Turns out he can actually act. |

Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
^ Haven't seen Ted yet. I was going to mention Scott Pilgrim but he had such a minor role I didn't figure it was worth mentioning. He was good in it though.

Sylvester Stallone in Copland
|
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Brandon Routh was perfect in Scott Pilgrim, as small as his role was. :)
Kate Hudson is absolutely atrocious in everything... except Almost Famous. |
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
I agree with Kate Hudson overall, but I think her only good performance was in The Skeleton Key.
|
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Haha, came to this thread hoping to be all clever and obscure with Keanu Reeves in The Gift.
|
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Keanu Reeves in 'Little Buddha' - he rarely speaks ... :D

Looking over her filmography, I've only seen her in two movies... Panic Room and Adventureland and thought she was good in both. I guess all the hate for her comes from Twilight. I just find that silly though. Either people are hating her because they hate Twilight... or they hate her because she really wasn't good in Twilight (which would mean that you're admitting to watching Twilight). |

I remember when Kristen Stewart was a teenager in Panic Room and everyone loved her and thought she'd be a big star.

Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
yeah, hate is a strong word.
Justin Long in Zack & Miri Make a Porno was an interesting and fun performance. Sure he was decent in Die Hard 4, but it he just felt like an extension of the Apple guy. |

I think a lot of people just hate her and it has nothing to do with her movies or her acting. They hate her attitude and personality and the way she comes off as completely indifferent to the entire world in interviews. Basically she seems to live her entire life in a pot induced haze.

Marlon Wayans in Requiem for a Dream.
I don't really hate him, per se, but he's incredibly annoying in just about every film. |
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
There are two performances I may like from actors I don't, in films I haven't seen yet:
Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in TDKR Leonardo DiCaprio as a bad guy in DJANGO UNCHAINED |
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Shocked somebody doesn't like Anne Hathaway.
|
Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction.

Re: Actors You Hate Giving Good Performances
I was immediately going to mention Keanu Reeves in The Gift. I'm glad several did before me, he was effective and infuriating in that movie and made me wish more filmmakers would cast him in truly dark and more villainous roles instead of just having him play the dumb good-guy all the time.
