overrated actors

[karter]

ok who do you think is overrated ??

my list

jennifer lawrence
amy poehler
bradley cooper
the benedict cucumber guy...

[Francis]

Never do I ever hear how amazing Amy is so no she's not overrated.

Neither is Jennifer she's truly talented.

Bradd Pitt
George Clooney
Johnny Depp

[karter]

jennifer lawrence is highly overrated please don't

[Charz777]

Would you count Leigh Francis as an actor in some respects? If so; him! Everybody loves him and he's just... eugh!

[Francis]

Erm No, she's one of the most talented people in Hollywood right now.

[karter]

no, she is overrated her role in silver linings truly sucked booooo in hunger games she was okay

her quirky next door girl personality makes people believe that she has talent when she doesnt really! not oscar deserving at ALL GOODBYE

[Francis]

You've got to be joking? I see some jealousy.

[peteyt]

Never do I ever hear how amazing Amy is so no she's not overrated.

Neither is Jennifer she's truly talented.

Bradd Pitt
George Clooney
Johnny Depp

Haven't seen loads of Johnny Depp stuff but a lot of his so called weird, mad characters all seem very similar so I do find him slightly overrated but I do need to see more stuff. I have yet to see The Lone Ranger but found his character in the trailer seemed too similar to Captain Jack Sparrow. Obviously it's the same guy but a good actor can adapt.

[karter]

why would i be jealous or why would i be joking i just literally said why i think she's overrated

??? >????????????????????????????????

[Francis]

She was great in Silver Linings Playbook

[karter]

oh what a great role of......a crazy deranged widow?? who likes to dance?

[FlyingJesus]

Jennifer Lawrence is boring and overrated and liked more for her off-stage "personality" than what she actually does for a living, which is a normal acting job. She also pretends to campaign for body positivity but said she was reluctant to do scenes with Christian Bale because he was "chubby" at the time and it grossed her out. Wonderful

[lawrawrrr]

Leigh Francis if he counts. Alex Pettyfer and Robert Pattinson (also Kristen Stewart) haven't been good in the films I've seen but seem to be loved....

And I do think Jennifer Lawrence is a bitttt overrated - she's good but not THAT good.

Poor guy... I was thinking the other day about how horrible it would be to have a well recognised name for someone crap, such as Peter Griffin... I guess Ed Cullen fits :P

My overrated actors? From what I've seen Benedict Cumberbatch in, he hasn't been good. Although I suppose I've only seen his crap stuff since everyone loves him so much :P

[Aiden]

Yeaaaah he hates being called it! He usually goes by a nickname and is looking into changing his names because of the instant connotations people get when meeting him

He should change it to something dynamic and Hollywood hero-esque like Jacob Black

saying that johnny depp cant act is like saying that usain bolt cant run.

I love Jennifer Lawrence and personally I don't think she's overrated but I guess I can see where some of you guys are coming from. Still doesn't stop her being fab!

I guess you're talking about Jennifer Lawrence even tho I said I've never seen her in a movie. Try not to be so needlessly confrontational next time.

I don't know why you seem so worked up about a young lady doing so well for herself. This thread basically seems like it was made just to bash her and I don't know why you'd want to operate in such a negative and jealous way but I guess it's up to you

He may be very popular, but that is because of the vast differentiating roles he has played, and played well for that matter.

Most of the actors being named here are celebrated and established actors. Acclaim doesn't come from nowhere. This is just another one of those threads on here where people post lists as their answers and that's it. It would be interesting to see some justifications for these answers.

'Overrated' basically = 'they are very popular and successful but I personally don't like them'. Hipster mentality lol. Is anyone going to actually explain why they think Jennifer Lawrence is an 'overrated' actor, or are we just gonna dig at her personality??

Hmm wise words. could you explain why you don't stick up to them though??


Adele's vocals aren't even that mind-blowing, I don't know why people always say that lol.

?????????? So you basically said Adele was overrated without using the word because you don't like it so it makes everyone a hipster while you're some sophisticated virtuoso

Well I guess we can't even criticize someone's personality even though they're offending people just because they're doing so well and are 'well established'. This thread wasn't even made for bashing someone. Someone repeatedly quoted me and I replied?

[FlyingJesus]

Exactly what language are you looking for when you want someone to explain why she's not that great an actress? There isn't a scoresheet that you can use with rating someone's acting talent, there's simply nothing there that wows. She does the job and speaks from the script but she doesn't make it as believable as a lot of truly great actors - basically she still always looks like she's acting, when the point of acting well is to look like you're really that character

[Yupt]

don't understand why everyones being so confrontational regarding what was said by Judas

It would just make better conversation if instead of just listing actors who are well known but you don't like, you explained your reasoning. for example i disagree with the suggestion that johnny depp is over rated because I think he's brilliant. the fact that in many cases one might say "is that johnny depp?!" suggests that he is so good at putting himself into a role to the extent that very few of his own characteristics are shown - something which isn't always the case with other actors.

[FlyingJesus]

But we did explain it

you seem so upset babe calm down :L:L I don't know how why we are suddenly talking about Adele in a thread about actresses but you clearly have some kind of personal issue with me rather than the discussion at hand.

But anyway I never said Adele wasn't deserving of her success because she is talented. This thread is basically putting down the accomplishments and acclaim of talented actors and I don't think that's fair.

But well done u explained your opinion regarding her abilities instead of just saying "she's overrated" and attacking her personality :) :) :)

[Empired]

Robert Pattinson (also Kristen Stewart)
Hey they were terrible in the Twilight films because the scripts were written so, so terribly. Neither of them are as bad as everyone tells them they are outside of the films. Actually their awful acting kind of fitted with the horrendously written Twilight films.

I can't speak for Kristen Stewart that much 'cause I've only seen her in Twilight but Robert Pattinson wasn't half bad as Cedric in Harry Potter and I've seen him in some other film (Water for Elephants?) and he was pretty good in that too.

Can't believe I'm defending them but I guess I feel sorry for how Twilight has restricted them lol..

I thought that Rob Pat was actually not great in HP either, a bit wooden really, same as they both were in Twilight! I'd not avoid a film with him in, and some people can genuinely get better but yeah, I never saw why everyone was so in love with them in the films when they weren't even good, let alone that​ good.

Neither do I. I think it's the Twilight films that are overrated, not the actors in particular.. Even the films do the books injustice :P

I don't have a personal issue with you it's just I happened to pass by a thread and saw that you were contradicting your own words so quit all the "calm down babe" and handle the fact that you couldn't stick to your own words

--

Wow how dare a commoner have an opinion about an actor's acting ??

I don't need qualifications in acting to say that some actor's role wasn't really worth the praise. And at the end it's my personal view ..no one in this thread even questioned someone's ability. Calling someone overrated does not imply that they cannot act or they should learn acting or whatever

Also regarding the attacks on her personality, if she has done something which is worth criticizing then it is worth mentioning too. Not criticizing people just because they're 'well established' is stupid

Robert Pattinson is good in Remember me. I agree he is a little bland tho, his style is the same in a lot of his films, he always looks like he's stuck in chains.

[Shar]

I can see where people are coming from in terms of Jennifer Lawrence

Anyway most definitely Kristen Stewart. She is awful and expressionless.

[Cassiieee]

I think Jennifer Aniston is overrated a little.

[Jurv]

nope sorry not accepting that jeniffer lawrence is overrated

um if i was to choose i'd say megan fox and yes i agree with cassiee, jeniffer aniston is overrated

Which I had already done before you came whining into this thread. You, however, are yet to produce an opinion other than "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!!!"

[Inseriousity.]

I thought she does good in Hunger Games but I'm not certain if that's cos she's naturally gifted at acting or she is just naturally disconnected from everything. I like to think the former because she's very down-to-earth and I love that about her.

I'll say Alan Rickman, people like his voice but I just get annoyed that... he stops.... at... random places... every sentence and that somehow makes it good acting. It's very distracting.

NOOOOOOO I am actually so upset I'm never talking to u again I can't BELIEVE U!!!! traitor :'(

idk rly... think johnny depp is a great actor. myb Kiera knightly but does anyone even like her.... & natalie Portman and Leonardo dicaprio. Gerard ******* butler. rebel wilson zZzZz she cannot do different roles can she.... Helena bonham carter... IDk loads more

[karter]

i liked kiera knightley in last night

agreed about gerard butler yh

[geo]

nope sorry not accepting that jeniffer lawrence is overrated

PREACH. love the stuff she does in movies, love her as a person. yes she can be slightly hypocritical, and not all of her views on weight and beauty are brilliant (as they're still reinforcing that there is an ideal weight [hers]) but i think she's pretty great.

ALSO GONNA LEAVE IT TO PROFESSIONALS TO JUDGE FILMS AND ACTORS BYE

but then again overrated could be a personal opinion, so i respect that YOU personally don't rate these people that high, but belittling some of their (good) work and talents is a lil mean. like overrated is kinda hard, because everyone's gonna think differently. like if your favourite actor was mainly known for indie films and things, and doesn't get much (critical) acclaim, then you're probably going to think they're underrated. however it's because of their career path and success that gets them to their current acclaim, so to say someone like jennifer lawrence is BAD is ridiculous, as she just wouldn't have won an oscar, or any of the awards she has won.

don't really know who i think is OVERRATED as to me it's kinda dumb. like i don't get how a person can be overrated.

[Aiden]

I agree with Jennifer Aniston.

Others:

That 3sum in Twilight
Eddie Murphy

[geo]

i just want to point out that some of her scenes in slp were really great. like she PLAYED the role of her character well, no good criticizing the personality of the character when that wasn't her choice.

just saw a post on tumblr about this:

https://24.media.tumblr.com/dee651bc02de58f5ca92941520efcce8/tumblr_mgjowiMkBL1qad270o1_500.gif

that's crazy good (to me, anyway). although i don't feel like i'm one to really judge acting, or anything, as i've no experience. but dem facial expressions. i guess i'm slightly bias seeing as SLP is my favourite movie. (well, one of my favourites)

and karter i've seen you mention (in a different thread) that emmanuelle riva's acting in Amour was oscar worthy. totally agree, she was AMAZING. however i do believe there's years where many actors/actresses/film peoplez work is oscar worthy, yet because they're competing in the awards, only one person can win it....

i am adding Emma stone

Oh I forgot about Helena Bonham Carter (usually I try not to think about her), prob the most boring flat and typecast actor of all time but all the *+*aLTerNaTiiVe*+* kids in the art courses seem to love her

OMG YES! Leonardo Dicaprio or w.e is well overrated! He's okay liek but not as good as people go on, just because he was in Titanic?

WHAT? Ben Stiller is great. Especially when there's people like Adam Sandler in the film business.

I think DiCaprio is actually quite good - just everyone remembers titanic. But his later films have been pretty good.

I wouldn't say Aniston is overrated, perhaps back in the day - but not so much these days.

Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler come to mind for me.

Oh Adam Sandler is another one :P

[FlyingJesus]

Can't stand Adam Sandler or Jim Carey, they make me want to bite things

[Phil]

Used to love Jim Carrey but really grown out of him tbh

[Yupt]

I don't think the likes of Eddie Murphy, Jim Carey etc.. are really rated highly as actors, they're just rated highly as comedic performers in film. Although, I think some of Jim Careys stuff can be quite good, I liked him in yes man for instance, when he wasn't doing his "silly" trademark.

Helena Bonam Carter is great, can't even believe she's near this thread. She plays a similar character in most her films who all tend to be odd, weird people - but in fairness, look at her she's an odd looking lady so she isn't going to be cast for much else. But when she was, I thought she played her role very well in the Kings Speech which is the only role I can think she's played which doesn't fall into her norm. She was incredible in Fight Club.

[Ekelektra]

I don't think Jennifer Lawrence is overrated, but I've started to get sick of her ditsiness. I guess I think her personality is overrated but not her acting.

Someone who I think is overrated though is Angelina Jolie, I haven't seen any of her things in a while but what I have seen I didn't think she was that good.

[iBlueBox]

Johny Depp.

[Eric]

I didn't know we have to mix in our views on their personality cause I thought this is about overrated actors not overrated celebrities so it has to do with their acting and not their personality right?

And maybe Jennifer Lawrence is a bit overrated but that doesn't mean she's not talented?? Yes, her popularity has to do with the success of the Hunger Games but her performance in Winters Bone was good. I agree she didn't deserve last year's Oscar cause apparently she delivered a better performance than Riva in Amour but award shows could be crap sometimes. If anything she should have gotten the award for winters bone. I'm not wowed by her performance but i think she's a fine actress and i hope she challenges herself to do more different roles


And anyone saying Johnny Depp is overrated without providing any valid reasons is either they haven't seen most of his films or don't know what's a good acting or both

Not going to ramble on how to judge an acting but bad acting could be attributed to many factors so yea

[karter]

jim carey was great in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind otherwise not fond of him

[Judas]

Jim Carey is one of those comedy actors that seems to have a 'winning formula' so plays virtually every character the same. Like Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler, for example. However there are exceptions such as I Love You Phillip Morris which I thought he was surprisingly great in.

Same with Jennifer Aniston I guess. Even though I love her she basically plays Rachel from Friends in every single film lol but she is mostly just in generic Hollywood romantic comedies so I guess there's not much room for her to breathe. She is slightly different in Office Space and v different in Horrible Bosses though.

Still wouldn't call either 'overrated' though. They have a job and do it well so people see their movies, good for them lol


Which I had already done before you came whining into this thread. You, however, are yet to produce an opinion other than "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!!!"

Really?? Apart from how I feel about the term 'overrated' which is the entire reason I came into this thread in the first place? If you're gonna respond to my posts at least read them. You aren't an idiot don't act like one please

[Charz777]

OMG YES! Leonardo Dicaprio or w.e is well overrated! He's okay liek but not as good as people go on, just because he was in Titanic?

I think the problem with Leonardo is that all of his well-known performances are similar (and I say well know because as much as I like him, I've not actually seen him in an awful lot!) He is always the character in love whether it's Romeo and Juliet, Titanic or recently The Great Gatsby and will go to insane, often unrealistic measures for love, and then ends up dying. So, we don't see a lot of variation so it doesn't seem like he has much talent to show, but I think the roles he's played he's done a good job, especially with Romeo and Gatsby. He is the best Gatsby I've seen!

[FlyingJesus]

What has no-one seen The Beach

[Judas]

Hmm I can't say I'm a massive fan of his but what about his performances in Shutter Island and particularly Django Unchained? Those are very different roles. Like I said I don't really like him and I haven't seen all of his films, but he can branch out from that kind of hopeless romantic character. Also I haven't seen The Wolf of Wall Street yet but he seems quite different in that, too.

I've never seen them. I was going only based on what I've seen. So, I may have a distorted view. But I still think he's great :)


Reading through, I don't actually agree with many of these.

Johnny Depp has played such a variety of roles so well that I don't know how he is considered to be overrated. He isn't one of those actors who plays each character the same, he's always keen to go that step further to make the character come to life.

Jennifer Aniston is really good. One of my favourite actresses. Back when she was in Friends, especially in later series she really stepped her game up. One thing that always stuck out for me was in the episode The One After 'I Do' and she is told she actually isn't pregnant as a trick, when she has to play being sad, but pretending she isn't sad and trying not to cry, I found that very moving. Plus, saw her in We're The Millers and she was great, I don't think she's lost her touch.

Leonardo DiCaprio I've already spoken about. I think he's great.

Others I think are more good than bad so I wouldn't say are overrated are; Keira Knightly and Helena Bonham Carter.

Also, I don't think Kristen Stewart is very highly rated so I would say she is overrated. I would say she is limited however. I think although she doesn't show a lot of emotion, I think she did well in Twilight showing that shy, social awkwardness but also being able to be angry and strong. Bella was never happy even if she did have EVERYTHING! So, I don't think Kristen did a bad job. She was also good in the Panic Room even though she was young and The Runaways was brilliant due to her and Dakota Fanning's great performances. Just my opinion.

I'll agree with Rob Pattinson and Brad Pitt though. They are both overrated.

[FlyingJesus]

To be totally fair the only thing I've seen Kristen Stewart in other than the Twilight films is Panic Room when she was 12 :P so difficult to tell what she's like as an actress since it's only really one role that I know her in. I wouldn't imagine she's so deadpan and awkward in On The Road or something but as I say, not seen them

[Judas]

Bella was never happy even if she did have EVERYTHING! So, I don't think Kristen did a bad job. She was also good in the Panic Room even though she was young and The Runaways was brilliant due to her and Dakota Fanning's great performances. Just my opinion.

I'll agree with Rob Pattinson and Brad Pitt though. They are both overrated.

I hope you don't think I was saying you are wrong! I was just saying that I think he can switch his roles a bit! I was going on what I've seen too, as you were. As I said I haven't seen all of his movies so I can't totally judge him but I think he can be pretty versatile. You should watch Shutter Island and Django Unchained if you are into those kinds of movies. They are very good, and Leo is good in them too! :)

I don't think Leonardo is overrated at all. He's successful and well known cause he always takes risks and work with good directors like Martin, Quentin and etc. He's always the leading actor in successful films over the last decade. Leonardo is a great actor and his work in Titanic is well done (even tho the movie was not my cup of tea). I've also enjoyed a lot of films he's in like Catch Me If You Can, The Departed, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island and etc, all of which have fairly different roles. He is capable of switching roles and portray his characters well and the accent that he pulled off in Blood Diamond was impressive. However, i do sometimes feel that his range is limited but i think he's at his best when he plays roles closer to himself. I haven't seen all of his films especially his earlier work (Whats Eating Gilbert Grape looks like a good one) but i think he's probably one of the best hollywood actors in this generation. I'm excited to see Wolf of Wall Street as the character seems closer to him plus he's working with Martin Scorcese (for the fifth time)

the only films i've seen Kristen in are the twilight saga, panic room and the runaways, not much so i can't tell but she has horrible facial expression tho

Not sure about Helena but i like her eccentric roles and her work with Tim Burton

and erm Adam Sandler, he is ok and it seems like he can only play goofy characters, can't see him branch into any other different roles but his movies are quite entertaining


What has no-one seen The Beach

yess but it was a long time ago so i've forgetten most of it but i know i've seen it before

Lol speaking of Leo he just got nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars. Could this finally be his year??

He got a Golden Globe at the weekend so maybe, he said in his speech he can't believe he's been doing all these roles and then finally gets an award for comedy
