For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

Jonah Hill

I don't know why, I know nothing about him and I even had to look up his name because I had no idea what his name was. But there's something that upsets me badly.

it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The reason he's good in Uncut Gems (and Punch Drunk Love) is that there is something genuinely frightening in how unhinged he seems when he is acting.

Will Smith and Jared Leto for sure (including 2049, which was a disgrace compared to the masterpiece that is the original, despite me loving Arrival, Dune Part I and Sicario).

I also cannot stand anyone meant to appeal only to Americans, like Kevin Hart, Chevy Chase, Queen Latifah and all that stuff. Used to like Tom Hanks in the 1990s, but after that he became part of the latter group for me.

If you are ever going to try again watching a The Rock movie (I don't mind him at all, although not being calling me to watch a movie), please make it Hercules: that movie genuinely surprised me.

You can tell my generation has mostly aged out of social media because no one has said Pauly Shore.

Owen Wilson. Something about him just makes me queasy.

Adam Sandler, with the exception of punch drunk love, maybe. I wanted to like tough cut gems, but I have up or of serving hand cringe

I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.

But Chris Pratt for me.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

Chris Pratt is one of my big ones... Can't stand the guy

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

He's doing ads for some religion based mobile app. He even sucks in those.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I absolutely loved him in Parks and Rec. He was always my favourite character. But that's probably because he was just playing himself.

Everything I've seen him in after parks and rec has been bad, and I agree he is not a good actor.

Gal gadot and Elisabeth Moss for me. Also not a fan of Jason Momoa/Chris Hemsworth type of guys. Anything with them in the lead and I generally nope out. It has to do with the plain, flat, repetitive characters and lack of depth, not the physique (for example I respect dave Bautista evolution).

Will Ferrel, Jack Black... the rock is rapidly getting there. Jada Plinkett Smith.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

Glen Powell.

It's like he was designed by a committee to make the most generic movie star white man imaginable.

He makes me want to buy a rape alarm, and I'm a man.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised at all if he was revealed to not actually exist, and is in fact 100% CGI.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Jude Law. He creeps me out so much I can't watch him. He's been in the news for domestic abuse which doesn't surprise me... I shudder watching him

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Julia Stiles. Saw her in Save the Last Dance and some other movie and absolutely could not get on with the movie. It's like she's not acting or doesn't know how to act. She's kind of like in audition mode the entire time and I just don't get anything from her face or her actions. I sometimes get the same thing from Keanu but at least I like the movies he's in. With her I just rage quit 5 min in seeing her. She just ruins it for me. Also yes, also don't like The Rock. I'm sure we saw the same YouTube vid where the guy bashes on him for not knowing how to act as any other "character"... which when looking back, it's true. He's literally the same persona every god damn time.

Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible... and still they are in sooo many german movies.

Ben Stiller

I just can’t. He makes me anxious just seeing him on screen. I so want to watch Meet the Fockers because DeNiro is one of my faves, I just can’t do it.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

if it makes you feel better ben stiller just embarasses himself the whole movie

Til Schweiger and Kristen Stewart, they each know exactly one facial expression.

But Schweiger provides so much entertainment value! Especially when someone publically disapproves of him or his work, and he totally escalates!

[–] RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Anthony Mackie

He has zero charisma and was largely responsible for bringing down the quality of Altered Carbon S2 (though the writers did him no favours) and was the most boring part of The Falcon & Winter Soldier.

I couldn't bring myself to watch the new Captain America movie mainly because of him being in the lead role.

Matthew Broderick.

He's an alright actor, but seeing him always reminds me of that time he got drunk (rumored) and killed two people with his car in Ireland but faced almost zero repercussions (he got a small fine).

Jason Bateman. Used to be Jeremy Renner and Tim Robbins so I guess it’s an unconscious bias against little guys with too-big faces for their features.

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Melissa McCarthy does that for me. It's getting better, but for the longest time I'd see an interview with her about some project and she's funny, charming, intelligent, and convinces me to check it out. Then I would watch the thing and it's like "Haha fat girl poopoo fart." .

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

Since the snow white disaster, rachel zegler.

Also, I can't really watch til schweiger movies. Or most german "comedy" movies.
