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. Kids are Alright, Boogie Nights, plenty of others.

I don't get what all the fuss is about for Jennifer Lawrence in acting or apparent hotness, and thought she was just as bad as January Jones in XMFC (but i liked the movie as a whole)
*ducks tomatoes*

Tom Cruise. He has no range as a serious actor. He always plays the same tough guy with a Napoleon complex.

I think she's a solid actress, and I think she's okay in looks, though I don't think of her as the bombshell most do.

Tom Cruise. He has no range as a serious actor. He always plays the same tough guy with a Napoleon complex. There's something about guys like Tom, or even Cary Grant, where a lot of the times they feel like the role is Tom Cruise as..., but for whatever reason some people just have the charisma to pull it off. Mission impossible Ghost Protocal is a fun movie, but if it was co-star Jeremy Renner as the lead I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much. Cruise has a great big presence, and I can't say someone like that is a bad actor since getting the viewer invested in the material is part of the job, and his limitations somehow lead to that. Thats a very personal thing that can vary, but I think his longevity as a leading man speaks to it. He might not have depth, but he can put magic on the screen and thats an important part of being an actor. Also he was great in Tropic Thunder.

Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, and January Jones. Tatum was hilarious in 21 Jump Street. So he could really work as a comedic actor. I hated him until I watched that movie. He was hilarious.

Wha? No mention of J-Lo?
Fine. I'll say it then. J-Lo
As for Keanu Reeves I gotta hand it to him, dude has some crappy movies and yet somehow pulls them off.

Having seen Reeves play Ortiz the Dog Boy in Freaked, I cannot in good conscience say he's bad.
I've seen nothing by Chris Pine that suggests he's all that good.

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. Yep, also The Assassination of Jesse James. Gotta agree with Kristen Stewart, she's a really terrible actress.

Disagreed on both counts. Especially Statham. People seem to think he acts the same in every movie.....when he doesn't.

Kristen Stewart can't talk, has no line delivery skills whatsoever, can't emote, and isn't attractive. There's really nothing that she can do.

The thing that gets me about Stewart is that it be one thing if she wasn't all that good an actor, but clearly liked the lifestyle and enjoyed what she did. However practically every single interview I've seen her in has so nervous and awkward that it seems like someone has a gun pointed at her in case she says the wrong thing.
Its rare to find someone who seems less natural and less comfortable with being an actor than Kristen Stewart.

Anyone who suggests Keanu Reeves should watch The Gift, Watcher, Devil's Advocate, and Hardball. The man can act when given the proper material. I still believe his absolute best performance is from The Gift.
He literally scared the piss out of me in that film.

I'm pretty sure that Scarlett Johansson is a shop window dummy. Hey now, Ghost World, The Perfect Score, Lost in Translation, The Prestige, and the Avengers she was solid in. 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 don't really see 'solid' as much of a compliment. The girl is just totally deadpan, and not in a funny way. In Avengers she barely registers. Lost In Translation barely counts as an understated performance because unlike Bill Murray, she's never done anything else but understated. She was okay in The Prestige.

Shia LaBeouf in anything that is a serious role. He was entertaining in Even Stevens and Holes, but since he's gotten older he drags down whatever movie he's in, and I can't think of a character he's played since Stanley Yelnats that I haven't wanted to punch
I will say this for Kristin Stewart, she isn't terrible in Zathura as the bitchy older sister, and she's not bad in Into the Wild, Adventureland, or On the Road. She is nothing great but she at least show's some charisma in these movies.
