Overrated Actresses/Actors

Cameron Diaz definately. Never bought the hype around her. Orlando Bloom seems to play the same whiny little pretty boy in every movie. I don't understand how Shia Lebouf gets himself roles in prominent action movies. Loved Micheal Cera in Arrested Development, but now he seems to join Ellen Page in leading the charge for hipster movies.

Nice work. Is there a less-versatile prominent actor out there than Cera? Even Ellen Page makes him look bad.

The only difference I see between Cera and Jon Heder is the adaptability of their respective type-cast characters and that Heder's ceiling of success will not be topped by any individual success of Cera's.

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with being typecast, but that doesn't mean "play every character the exact same way all the time". Example: Ron Perlman. Every movie he's typecast as "Hulking badass" but he didn't play Hellboy the same way he played the Russian in Enemy at the Gates.
 
Kevin Kostner. Though he has done some movies I like. I think he is terrible. Never brings anything to a role, he has a boring personna and does nothing outside of that personna.

Maggie Gyllenhall - I just don't see it.

Not attractive and not a particularly good actress or memorable in any of her roles.

Secretary. One of the weirdest and most difficult to pull off romances in recent years. Gyllenhall and Spader nail it.

Total co-sign. My personal least favorite actor.

Ellen Page.

We get it, you're an edgy motor mouth that's supposed to sound really intelligent. In every role. And you can't play a character that isn't that role. Inception is the best role you've ever played and you did little more than act bewildered in it.

Too easy. More controversial pick is an actress that I think sucks but occasionally gets mentioned as credible for her non-Twilight roles: Kristen Stewart

I suspect you really just don't like "Will Farrell movies." There is some evidence that he's actually compelling in his non-traditional films. Ex. Stranger Than Fiction

I am a Cage defender as well. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is recent and a totally great performance.

Kristen Stewart may be the worst actress ever (in recent memory). She isn't even attractive, so I don't understand why she gets roles.

The best/worst example of Costner has to be Robin Hood. Dude didn't even try to fake an accent of, you know, the country he supposedly was a noble in. Yeah there were tons of dukes and princes and **** running around midieval england with midwest american accents. On top of that, his acting blows. The guy has not been able to pull off any role. I actually think his best move is Dances with Wolves.
 
I don't think Gyllenhall and Spader pulled off anything special in Secretary. It was a thinly vieled S&M soft-porno with actors with recognizable names. Nothing redeeming in that film at all. A lot of uncomfortable scenes and crappy dialogue (when they spoke).
 
I agree whole-heartedly that Kristen Stewart is the worst actress of her generation that is getting any roles (I am sure there have to be worse that don't get any roles). Same goes for Robert Pattinson. Amazing that they cast 2 such terrible actors in those movies.

Stranger than Fiction is actually the one Farrell movie I've seen that I really liked. But even a broken (analog) clock is right twice a day.
 
I can agree with Ferrell. Outside of Anchorman, his films blow oxen. I can't argue with the Twilight bitches either, they're both hard to swallow. I agree with a lot of the people here, and I'll repeat a few -- but they're worth mentioning again. The rest of my list, in no particular order:

Mel Gibson, post Braveheart.
Costner.
Cage -- Seriously, just watch ConAir and tell me that you think he's a good actor.
Ben Affleck/Matt Damon -- outside of their Kevin Smith roles and Rounders, they're pretty much dog pooh.
Steve Carrell.
Tom Cruise and his butt ugly wife.
Maggie "Droopy the Dog" Gylengross.
Any actor that participates in any movie made by Steve Harvey and/or Tyler Perry.
Will Smith.
Leo.

And my LEAST FAVORITE actress of all time, in which she systematically ruins one of the greatest movies of all time, and I want to scratch my eyes out whenever she hits the screen or says her line:

I don't even know her name, but damn, I hate her. Ya, ya, off topic, etc. Bite me.

This can be a good example of Maggie Gyllenhall being good, too. I really liked her in that movie and even found her kinda sexy.

Is that Dana Delaney? I really liked her until I saw that godawful S&M supposed comedy "Exit to Eden" back in the mid-90's. I'm usually all for an actress getting nekkid on screen, but full frontal nudity was a poor career choice for her. Apparently her gardener was not working because that hedge had not been trimmed in a long, long time.

We have to give Robert Pattinson some credit for being, to my knowledge, the first actor to star in a romantic film where one of the characters dies of 9/11. That takes some balls.
 
That crappy Lakers fan that needs to be decked who always wears sunglasses. The last movie I remember him making was a boring one with Helen Hunt. And he's a Lakers fan that needs to be decked.
