OT: worst actor or actress to ruin a role or movie.

Submitted by NFG on July 23rd, 2016 at 9:48 PM

Holy Hell. To piggy back the best movie fight scene topic, I ask you, what actor or actress single handily ruined a movie for you? I rented Batman vs. Superman tonight and the character played by Jesse Eisenberg is damn near the biggest insult to a casting role I've ever witnessed. It could be the 30 year old scotch I had, but I am pretty sure he ruined the movie and I never want to see his post dodgeball game face again.

Good call. His best movie, even if no one saw it. Same thing for Sandler in Punch Drunk Love.

As the bubbling idiot who makes all the wrong choices, yes he was, but the problem is is that he has that role in every movie...

I find Ferrell to be unwatchable in anything but elf and the nights. I don't like mainstream funny I guess. But Sandler is tops on my list of people I cannot tolerate in a movie. The fact that he's a movie star is embarassing.

Out of curiosity, do you think he is awful as iron man? Or are you referring to other movies he's in.

to watch him sit on the steps and weep while the Jewish guy was being killed upstairs by the big German. But to me that says he played the role pretty well. By the end, the character was so disgusting to me.

In Bonfire of the Vanities. It really wasn't Tom's fault though. He is nothing like the character in the book. It was a great book and a horrible movie. All the main actors: Hanks, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith were completely the wrong choice for their parts. The casting director went for big screen names over filling the roles with actors who fit them.

there are so damn many movies I've never watched, that just by their plots and titles I didn't want to waste a couple hours. Included in them are Star Wars, all the Bat Man movies, although Jack is one of my favorite all time actors. And Mission Impossible I remember as a T. V. series, but I never watched an episode of that as a kid. The only spy show I liked was Get Smart. Although, Three Days of the Condor is one of the exceptions. Sure there are others.

This, like music, is definitely a generational thing.
