Who are the worst actors in superhero movies?

[djshalope]

here's my list:

9. James Marsden as Cyclops.
8. Jim Carrey as Riddler.
7. Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut.
6. Christian Bale as Batman.
5. Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy.
4. David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury.
3. Ben Affleck as Daredevil.
2. Matt Salinger as Captain America.
1. Halle Berry as Storm AND Catwoman.

it's actually a full blog post i did. if you wanna check out my reasons for why i picked them, you can see my list of The Top 9 WORST Actors in Live-Action Superhero Films (http://www.audioshocker.com/2009/03/13/the-top-9-worst-actors-in-live-action-superhero-films).

my criteria were: actor stars in movie that's based on a comic book (so no Hancock) and said comic book is a superhero comic book (so no one from the League movie).

so what are your picks?

[Mr.EZ]

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.
Halle Berry as Storm
Chris O'Donnell as Dick Grayson
Halle Berry as Catwoman
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Halle Berry as Storm and Catwoman
Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl
Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face

[Wenatchee the Hatchet]

This reminds me of one of the small but terrible offenses of B&R, John Glover as Jason Woodrue in another movie could have been awesome.

[Libaax]

Fun thread idea !


1. Ben Affleck as Daredevil.
2. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
3. Jennifer Garner as Elektra
4. Halle Berry as Catwoman
5. Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone
6. James Marsden as Cyclops
7. Brandon Routh as Superman
8. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze
9. Chris O'Donnell as Dick Grayson
10.Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard / Ra's Al Ghul

This reminds me of one of the small but terrible offenses of B&R, John Glover as Jason Woodrue in another movie could have been awesome.

And that's the thing, do you count good people in bad movies? Actors being used as human props? Because let's face it, that's all Vinnie Jones was. He was just there to stand there and look menacing in prosthetic arms. I'm not saying he's a great actor or anything, but to come down on a guy for a background role that he performed exactly the way he was supposed to seems a little rough, y'know?

Besides, this is all modern era stuff. You want to see some bad acting, check out the serials. The Captain Marvel one was OK, but you ever see the Batman one? Captain America? Blurgh.


And any list that forgets Shaq in Steel wasn't very well researched. Or the dude that played the Punisher in War Zone. That got comically bad. Or whomever was in the duck suit in Howard.


For that matter, I don't know how you can claim that Jackman acted poorly as Wolverine. He might not fit your view of the character, but it's not like he can act 8" shorter. But he acted the part well. Might not have been your view of the character in general, but that doesn't have much to do with the actual acting chops.

[Wenatchee the Hatchet]

Hugh Jackman's performance got me to not HATE Wolverine. It may be the very reasons some people hated Jackman's performance are the reasons I managed to like the character. I thought Jackman humanized Wolverine in a way that made me get why anyone might give a crap about the character.

[djshalope]

in all fairness, i considered Shaq. but - in truth - i always knew that movie was going to suck, so i never watched it. and i don't think it would be fair to include an actor whose performance hasn't personally emotionally scarred me. i mean, i love 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer while most fans seem to hate it. so maybe i would love Steel if i ever watched it. but i couldn't live with myself if i put Shaq on there without actually viewing his work in the film.

[Warpsters]

Bracing for impact......

I thought Affleck was good in Daredevil.

Halle Barry gets my vote as the worst in Catwoman and the X-Men flicks.

[hugh45]

Anyone that fanboys complain about :tongue:

[mr.brighteyes]

Here is another thing to consider

For me Jason Marsden might have been good as Cyclops if not for the fact that Famke Janson could have been his baby sitter 15 years ago.

I'll second Alicia Silverstone as Bat Girl if you could even consider her Bat Girl. Barbara Pennyworth. Puleese.

Hally Berry as Catwoman was pretty atrocious as well.

Michale Clark Duncan as Kingpin/Wilson Fisk

I'd have been fine with Neeson as either Ducard or Guhl but combining the character like that to throw every one off was stupid.

I also wasn't happy with Bales voice as Batman. but I thought he did Wayne well enough.

[djshalope]

Michale Clark Duncan as Kingpin/Wilson Fisk

his performance is a little corny, but i actually kind of enjoyed him in Daredevil. i thought Affleck was pretty bad, but i didn't hate the movie.

[Toonimator]

I'm not saying he's a great actor or anything, but to come down on a guy for a background role that he performed exactly the way he was supposed to seems a little rough, y'know?
That's pretty much all Marsden was as Cyclops in all 3 films. A prop. "Here's the leader of the X-Men. Watch him stand around and get pissy at Logan for horning in on his territory. Watch him sit out 80% of X2. Watch him die early in X3 to let Wolvie take his role in the "Dark Phoenix Saga" climax." Cyclops was treated horribly by the scripts of those films, so I can't fault Marsden much at all.

And, DJ, if Shaq didn't make the cut because you knew Steel was gonna suck right off the bat, why'd Uma make the cut? Or Halle for Catwoman? Batman & Robin AND Catwoman both looked like they were gonna be terrible, terrible movies before they were released.

Maybe some of us were smart enough not to ever see Steel :wink:

Jackman is a bad actor period for me in most of his movies and his Wolverine was even more stupid,generic then the one in the comics in recent years.

In Prestige was the only film i have seen where he impressed me.

Hey dont diss Titus Pullo(Stevenson) he is always badass,im eagerly waiting it to get over here in dvd since we didnt get it in the cinema.

[StoneGold]

I could care less if he was corny he was a black man playing a white character. at least with Samuel L Jackson the character was altered in the comics then put in the movie.

[The Cap]

1.Jim Carrey/ Riddler
2. George Clooney/Batman
3. Jack/ The Joker
4. Arnold/ Mr.Freeze
5. Jason Marsden/ Daredevil
6. Earon Eckhart/ Two- Face
7. Halle Barry/ Catwoman, and Storm
8. Hugh Jackman/ Wolverine
9. Micheal/ The kingpin

[Spastic Minnow]

It's either a badly titled thread or badly thought out reasoning.

The choices so far are mostly about casting disagreements or the film itself being bad.

Michael Clarke Duncan, Liam Leeson, Jim Carrey and arguably others mentioned here did quite admirable acting jobs portraying the characters they were cast to play, if not your idea of what the comic book character should be like.

[Black Atom]

People hate Hugh Jackman because he was too tall and didn't wear yellow, right? Because otherwise, he made that role a lot more credible than most others would've bothered to.

When I start reading criticism about the performances of guys like Liam Neeson and Tom Wilkinson in a comicbook movie, I have to believe that's just griping because Neeson didn't have pointy hair and a green cape and not an honest-to-goodness critique of his acting ability.

[mr.brighteyes]

Hugh was the least of my worries in the X-men movie. They could have made his costume more like the New X-Men comic or from the Ultimate X-Men comic. They could have given him a Giant Yellow X on the costume at least.

This is the internet.

"It's not the way I wanted it" = bad.

Sad, but true.

[Legato]

Hugh Jackman? Really whoever selected him have really lost sight of the meaning of the title.

[Legato]

Well, yeah, duh. What was the only critique given to MCD? He was too black to play Kingpin? Because yeah, the color of his skin has everything to do with his acting ability.


Problem is, it's a thread created to bitch about stuff. Which inevitably means that everything will be bitched about, whether or not it actually makes any sense to the thread topic. It's just what happens on the internet.


Now that said, I'd say that the thread starter went off the rails to begin with.

[the goddamn batman]

It's not his fault he was emotionally scarred by these actors portrayals of sacred characters.

[pariah-1972]

I would have to say Nicolas Cage for Ghost Rider but i don't think it's his fault all that much since the movie really stunk especially the writing.

I think the only person who came out of that movie smelling clean was the guy who played Carter Slade ( i seem to enjoy him in any movie he's in)which honestly wasn't much of a stretch for him.

No, people hate Hugh Jackman cause he sucked at playing the part.

[The Cap]

Julian McMahon as Doctor Doom?

I didn't think he did that bad. I mean not as compared to some of the others.

[Paradox]

Everyone in this movie (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/3devadam/). :biggrin:

Also a living crapload of people in those '70s POSs. You darn kids don't know from "bad". :wink:

[pariah-1972]

No, people hate Hugh Jackman cause he sucked at playing the part.What universe do you live in?

[Libaax]

Liam Nesson,Wilkinson are quality actors in my book but they didnt do good job in their movies i choosed them from.

Most is the fault of bad casting/director idea of the character but still the actors themselves didnt do anything good either on their own.


Im not an X-men fan and i really dont care how tall,small Wolverine is. Jackman sucked imo cause he didnt portray well a character who is even at his worst cool. Its not oscar film, if you dont make Wolverine interesting,cool you fail.


To people who judge other people opinion like they are totally wrong wow how lame. Its thread about taste in movies,actors.

Either say why you dont agree or as the brits say piss off....

[Libaax]

See, those two sentences work in polar opposite of each other. You can't claim to be smart enough to have not seen Steel, then want to see War Zone. Just don't work that way.

Im a Max Punisher fan through and through since everyone say its the same tone it would have to be the worst movie of all time to let me down.

Even if it makes me feel sick afterwards i must see it to myself.

The other movies have been superhero Punisher who is horrible in film to me.

[2-4-5_Trioxin]

Hmmmm tough choices really because there are so many.

Basically everyone who wasnt a returning character in x men 3.

Everyone in batman and robin.

Reed and doctor doom in fantastic four 1 and 2.

Thomas jane in the punisher.

Nic cage in ghost rider.

Jigsaw in punisher war zone.

Halle barry in any of the xmen and cat woman.

Shaq in steel.

The bad guy in phantom 2040.

Ben affleck in daredevil.

Rob schneider in judge dredd.

Ice t in tank girl.

Most everyone in league of extraodinary gentlemen.

The bad guy from superman 4 quest for peace.

[joemagnum611]

What universe do you live in?

The real world buddy. What was so good about his Wolverine? Wolverine should be played as a grizzled war vet. With a heart of gold but will make the hard choice to get the job done imo. I saw none of that. All I saw was a pretty boy trying to be a badass.

Oh, I get it now.



You were turned on, and weren't sure how to deal with all these strange new emotions.

[kalorama]

See, those two sentences work in polar opposite of each other. You can't claim to be smart enough to have not seen Steel, then want to see War Zone. Just don't work that way.

I have to agree.

I also have to say that while, overall, Daredevil was a bit of a horror show and while Affleck made a laughably bad nightstalking vigilante, I actually thought he was pretty OK as Matt Murdock. It was only in the suit that he really sucked the life off the screen.

Colin Ferrel, however, was terrible from top to bottom.

[kalorama]

I could care less if he was corny he was a black man playing a white character.

Which has what, exactly, to do with whether his performance was any good?

[the goddamn batman]

I can't think of a single good thing about that movie...

[kalorama]

I woudn't suggest straining trying to come up with anything. There's really no reward for it.

[the goddamn batman]

In fact, in doing so, I have to think about the movie, which is a punishment.

[Paradox]

Jennifer Garner looks kinda nice in tight clothing. That's about all I gots. :wink:

[kalorama]

No denying it was an awful movie, but I thought Garner did a nice job with what she had to work with. But I do think it serves an important purpose. It's exhibit A in the case against the argument that comic-based movies are inherently better when they're faithful to the source material.

[StoneGold]

No denying it was an awful movie,

I'd deny it. It just wasn't that good a movie. Punisher War Zone was a bad movie. Daredevil was genius in comparison.

[the goddamn batman]

But I do think it serves an important purpose. It's exhibit A in the case against the argument that comic-based movies are inherently better when they're faithful to the source material.

I think Watchmen is exhibit A.

[pariah-1972]

I can't think of a single good thing about that movie...What Bullseye stole that movie and ran with it !

[hoffmandu]

My votes going for Treat Williams, the villian in The Phantom. Starred Billy Zane. The flick was a disaster, and Williiams was the cherry on top. "Slam Evil", I think was the tag-line. Laaaaaaaaaaame.

[Ontir]

If you include the new Street Fighter film, Chris Klein would have to take the prize. He was really funny, but not intentionally so.

[Legato]

He also proved that Raul Julia was the better Bison

[Ontir]

Neil McDonough was "Bison," and he was quite good! Amidst the director's hammery, he did some nice, subtle stuff. Very good slight Irish accent.

[MichaelChen]

MCD is getting a bad rap here. Really, if not him, who would you have picked? The list of actors with the right build is a short one. Remember, Kingpin isn't fat. He's extremely muscular in a non-pretty-boy way that looks fat if you see him in a suit at a distance. That build is rare in Hollywood, and the exceptions are mostly wrestler types who act like blocks of wood. MCD is one of the very few real actors with a Kingpin build.

Although who' to say any of them can act?

I think Micheal tried to do his best to make his character a real bad ass but the thing is Kingpin doesn't need to try and be a bad ass he just is.

I don't think it has anything to do with his race.

[hoffmandu]

Is Street fighter really a superhero movie, though? I would say no.

I had no problem with Duncan's performance, per se. But the fact that he was obviously chosen largely because of his physical presence points to one of the (many) flaws in the film. Duncan was a compromise chosen in an attempt to keep a veneer of Miller-esque faux "realism" around it. What they should have done (with whoever they cast) was come up with a molded body suit, worn under the clothes, that would more closely approximate the Kingpin's massive proportions (I'm thinking in terms of the JR Jr. version, which is the definitive one to me).

Realistic? No. More impressive and effective? I think so.

(A) As previously pointed out, the Kingpin isn't really fat, (B) aside from the fight with DD in the end (which was pretty much just a toe-to-toe punch out), there weren't any real action scenes for the Kingpin, (C) Vinnie Jones wore one as Juggernaut in X3 and it didn't seem to impede him much, and his actions scenes were a lot more kinetic than that penthouse fight in DD.

hasn't Vinnie Jones done a lot of action movies ? i don't know if this is the case for MCD since i have never seen him do anything action oriented in any of his other movies.


I didn't even know that Vinnie Jones wore a bodysuit until recently:redface:

[kalorama]

i know he's not fat Kal and neither was the one in the movie.

But the one in the movie just looked like a pretty big ordinary guy. The Kingpin should look like something more imposing.

Like I said, it wouldn't matter since the "action" for the Kingpin was limited to throwing punches and lifting Murdock over his head and slamming him to the ground, all of which could easily be accomplished wearing a body suit. It's not like the Kingpin has to be able to perform acrobatic gymnastics or leaping kung fu moves (although I'm pretty sure with wire work and CGI, that a person in a body suit could do those as well).

I'm pretty sure you've got me confused with someone else.

I think this may be your boy:

Thing should be CGI. With todays technology(assuming this new franchise has an adequete budget) they can achieve a seemlessly realistic and hulking Thing. To put someone in a body suit as Chiklis was robs him of the monstrous physicality he possed in the comics. It the frst couple films he was much too small and never appeared to gave the strength he was supposed to. And, needless to say, the damn suit looked like plastic at times. Whatmore, his visage was too amiable and decent looking in the first too films. He needs to look, not grotesque, but not goodlooking, either. Just a god mix of both to feel pathos for a guy who is still willing protect those who mock and fear him coldheartedly. Thoughts?

This one's me:

He should absolutely not be CGI, but he should be taller than 5' 8".

But i never found him imposing and i tried i honestly felt the one from the spider-man cartoon was more imposing.

I haven't see the Green Mile, but I remember stuff from the trailer and the oscars and such, and all I could think of was "people are actually calling this a good performance because he's a big black man crying. How fucked up is that."

Later, if course, I was proven wrong when he kept getting non-crying work, but I'm still shocked that he's considered anything more than a horrible performer.

Comic fans LEARNED to find him imposing, but he really just looks like a fat guy. His actions are far more imposing than his size.

[Mike Smith]

The bad guy from superman 4 quest for peace.

Lalalalalal Superman 3 or 4 never happened lalalalala.

Speaking of Superman, I think Kate Bosworth deserves mention though not a superheroine, she did a great job of giving us a stiff, wooden performance. I'd also include...

Topher Grace as Venom in Spiderman 3

- Halle Barry as Catwoman (though I think she made a decent Storm, just lacked great depth and personality ((which I've personally found to be the case with Storm in any case)) )

- Jennifer Garner as Elektra

- Ben Afflek as Daredevil

- Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl
