How come? Just curious, I think she's a fantastic actress.

Honestly, Brad Pitt has never impressed me outside of Fight Club. 12 Monkeys Sleepers Snatch. Burn After Reading The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Tree of Life He was very good in all of these. Haven't seen a few of those, but I have to say - outside of "quirky" or "bizarre" characters, Pitt really falls flat. My vote goes with Channing Tatum - he makes a lot of money for the studios I guess, but he's just not a strong actor. Non-actor Gina Carano from Haywire out acted him in their scenes together. That says a lot.

Olivia Munn falls into this category. She is pretty good on The Newsroom. Then again, her character is supposed to be socially awkward.

See her in any other role she's done outside of Mad Men. American Pie 2 Unknown X-Men The Woman can't show human emotions. She's perfect as Betty Draper. Because she isn't acting. Great Khali is great as an Indian Giant, but he sure as hell won't win any awards playing Richard the 3rd. Acting requires playing someone you aren't. She can't.

Oi! Y'all best stop hating on the Tatum one! He was good in one movie. That does not redeem a career of Dear John, The Vow, Haywire, and the like.

I'm pretty sure that Scarlett Johansson is a shop window dummy.

And if you have that slanted a career that it's ten bad performances for every one good one, you are not a good actor.

Also she was solid in the roles she played on Robot Chicken. Admittedly, I don't think she's ever going to be the world's greatest actress, but give her a good role, good writing and a good director, and she's good. She's one of the actors/actresses that is as good as what's around them.

I used to be able to agree with you. But I thought he was solid in Scott Pilgrim, albeit clearly miscast in the role. And, some of his more low key stuff has been pretty decent. This is coming from a guy that used to want to punch him in the face every time he saw him since Arrested Development too.

But when that one(honestly for me it is two, as I liked his performance in Magic Mike) out of ten is as good of a performance as his was in 21 Jump Street it balances out the crap. If you look at his filmography, most of his roles have been generic by the numbers romance or action films. Those kind of dime a dozen films are hard to inspire people to give it their all.

Megan Fox. She became famous thanks to Michael Bay, and well her acting isn't that good, and everything she's starred in has tanked. Honestly, I don't think she was ever supposed to be taken seriously as a actress. She's in the Jessica Alba, Pam Anderson, Carmen Electra category of "just there to be hot but not actually act" niche. I'm pretty sure that Scarlett Johansson is a shop window dummy. I've yet to find any movie that she's been in that proved that was a good actress. But at least... Kristen Stewart, I laughed at her faux British accent in her Snow White movie, she just can't act We have a winner! Zero redeemable qualities what so ever.

January Jones was not in American Pie 2, she was in American Pie 3 American Wedding

January Jones is so terrible I was hoping they wouldn't find room for her in the next X-Men flick

I've seen Julianne Moore in about five movies and she stunk in all of them. She made Kristen Stewart look like the most charismatic actress in the world in comparison.
See her in 'Next' to see someone truly phoning it in.

Until recently, I would've said Daniel Radcliffe. But I have to admit, I based it all on Harry Potter. He has a show now called The Young Doctor's Notebook and it's excellent.
