Overrated actors?


Who are some actors most think are excellent, but you just don’t see it?

Brad Pitt seems to the worst “best actor”, alot of people said he was the worst thing about Inglourious Basterds, and that he’s never been good. After watching War Machine, I’m starting to agree...

Robert Downey Jr.
Samuel L. Jackson

Yes, on RDJ. He got over hyped because of that pile of crap, Tropic Thunder, then comic book nutjobs worshiped him because of Iron Man. There's nothing exceptional about him, and he was horrible in Sherlock Holmes.

He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Chaplin 16 years before Tropic Thunder. Whatever anyone thinks of him, it didn't start with Tropic Thunder. It began with Less Than Zero in 1987.

Will Ferrel
Halle Berry

With the exception of Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, both of those actors act the same in every movie they've done.

Daniel Day Lewis

Good? Yes. Overrated? Absolutely!

I was never the biggest Brad Pitt fan but I thought he was fantastic in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Can't stand Meryl Streep, Rachel Weisz and Keira knightley.

Julia Roberts!

I never really understood her appeal

reply

She looks like a horse and has a funky nose, yet was considered "America's Sweetheart." There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

reply

She's decent looking but I wouldn't call her gorgeous. She has an average face.

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse!

Mean or not, it exists. I'm sure everyone has heard of it.

I never understood how she bagged the Oscar for Erin Brokovitch over Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For a Dream
