Great movies almost wrecked by co-stars.

Shia Lebouf in KOTCS. Maybe not a great movie...but man I can't stand that guy!

Ditto to this in a big way, and also in all the terminator films, but even moreso Megan Fox. She's ok at first but then you realise that her acting "range" doesn't go beyond pouting and pushing her T&A at the camera.

I think you mean "Transformer" films?

But I can't stand LeBouf either

I was about to say Eric Bana in anything I've ever seen him in, but then it occured to me that I haven't seen him in any great movies!

I just find him utterly unconvincing, empty and unlikeable. If he has been in any great movies, I guarantee they're less great because of his presence.
(I wondered if it's at all due to the fact that I don't go to theaters anymore...but then I realized if he can't convince me of his parts on the small screen, what chance has he to do it on the large one?)

Black Hawk Down Bana was the shiz-nit. Other than that, I'm with ya.

Gwyneth Paltrow in many otherwise decent flicks.

Katherine Heigl, in Knocked Up. Great movie, but she sucks. I honestly can't stand her in anything.

Kat Dennings in Thor!

THANK YOU. I actually grinned from ear to ear upon NOT seeing her in the IMDB page for Thor 2 once everybody else was pretty much confirmed.

Oh' excellent...agreed.

Jack Black in the last 75% of his career.

Whoopi Goldberg is every thing she has ever done.

And to top the list Channing Tatum, has to be the most boring and worst actor of all time.

Taye Diggs in Equilibrium. He's horrible. The whole movie is supposed to be about supressing emotions, and he's screaming and shouting and laughing and smiling the entire time. I can't stand him.

I always thought his emotional outbursts were clues, when it shows at the end how the Big Brother doesn't exist and I thought all the big wigs in society didn't have to dope themselves.

I considered that as well, but in the end, I more leaned towards it being just a crappy performance from Taye Diggs.

It's entirely possible!

Shia in everything. I'd say the new Transformers movies but he's bad in everything and the only good thing in the TF movies was Peter Cullen back as Optimus.

This guy, David Roberts leaning over the table, in Matrix Revoluions the Captain of the Mjolnir ("Hammer"), he was probably the worst actor I've seen in a mainstream movie !!

Bill Paxton in Aliens.

WHAT?!

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and such, which I respect, but I say again...

WHAT?!

The whining, moaning and crying just got to me. Especially when his character is supposed to be a battle hardened marine. It was like his part of the script was written in all capitals.

That is exactly what it's like in the service. I served with people just like darn near every Colonial Marine in Aliens including a sergeant just like Apone, we called him Horse.

When Hicks goes down, he goes down fighting with everything he's got.

Oh, come now. David Roberts had the three best lines in the whole movie.

No, you're right. You're out of your godda** mind.
I knew it. I knew he was out of his godda** mind.
He wouldnt listen. He was out of his godda** mind.

Jack Black in School Of Rock is great. The movie is good BECAUSE of him. Just saying'

And Bill Paxton is awesome in Aliens.

I wanted to reach into the screen and strangle Chris Tucker in every scene he was in in Fifth Element. Man, he was annoying.

Wait a moment! Chris Tuckers character was Supposed to be annoying I thought his character was a statement on what will eventually happen to the infotainment news crews. A single reporter/DJ/Crew/Editor rolled into one. The entourage was part of the set. Wasn't it?

I have to agree with Jet Beetle on this one--Bana was very good in Black Hawk Down, but it was a relatively small role. Other than that, he hasn't impressed me much.

Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York. I don't know for sure, but my guess is she was forced on Scorsese by whoever had the money. She's so subpar to everyone else in the film.

The biggest problem with Diaz in Gangs (aside from the fact that she can't act)is that she looked like a 30-something woman from 2002, not a 30-something woman in 1863; her looks didn't fit the era. The same was true of Megan Fox in Jonah Hex (not that it was a good movie).

I must admit I've never seen Black Hawk Down..I know, I know:

Maybe he's one of those actors who is better playing "normal" people, as opposed to irradiated hulks and intergalactic villains. Those by their nature seem to require a bit of "over the top" performance. I'll try to keep an open mind on that one!

Yeah that's what I thought while watching the film

Bill Paxton was amazing in aliens. He played the part perfectly.

Eric Bana is great in Black Hawk Down and Hannah. He kicks ass in both films

Edward Furlong in T2. uuuugggh.
