Top 10 Best Acting Performances in 2017 Movies
The year is literally ending the night of me making this and I felt I should go over the best of acting in movies from 2017. Keep in mind I haven't seen EVERYTHING yet so this list will not be complete without you guys, so feel free to add your favorites! Anyway here are the best acting performances in movies released in 2017!
Hugh Michael Jackman (born October 12, 1968) is an Australian actor, producer and musician. Jackman has won international recognition for his roles in major films, notably as superhero, period, and romance characters. I haven't finished Logan yet, but obviously Hugh Jackman gives it his all as his final performance as Wolverine.
Thomas Stanley "Tom" Holland is an English actor and dancer. Holland is known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and starring in the 2012 film The Impossible. He started his career in 2008 when he played the lead role named Billy Elliot in Billy Elliot The Musical on Broadway in the Victoria Palace Theater, London, England. I love this iteration of Spider Man so much. They really cast Tom Holland very well as he really knows how to act like a 15 year old kid who feels like he wants more. I found Spider-Man a way more relatable character due to his performance.
James Edward Franco is an American actor and filmmaker. His first prominent acting role was the lead character Daniel Desario on the short-lived cult hit television program Freaks and Geeks. I really want to see the Disaster Artist, but I sadly haven't yet. But I did see a clip of James Franco pretending to be Tommy Wiseau, and I could barely tell it was him! I really need to see this movie because it seems he really just becomes Tommy Wiseau by acting!
Gal Gadot Varsano (born 30 April 1985) is an Israeli actress and model. At age 18, she was crowned Miss Israel 2004. Gadot's first international film role came as Gisele Yashar in Fast & Furious (2009), a role she reprised in subsequent installments of the film franchise. I think Wonder Woman is just "fine", but I really like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, she really fits the role she was given!
Michael John Douglas (born September 5, 1951), professionally known as Michael Keaton, is an American actor. He is best known for portraying the DC Comics superhero Bruce Wayne / Batman in the films Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), and is set to reprise the role in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) films The Flash (2023) and Batgirl. Keaton is also known for his work as Jack Butler in Mr. Mom (1983), Betelgeuse in Beetlejuice (1988), and Adrian Toomes / Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Morbius (2022). ...read more. I really liked the founder, and my favorite part of this movie was Michael Keaton's great performance. He really captures the nature of Ray Kroc, a man who at first wanted to make success, but then became a complete jerk who stole a company. He did everything great!
George Oscar Bluth- I - I mean Will Arnett does a really good Batman, and this movie was no exception. He is just as good a Batman as he was in The Lego Movie.

Michael Keaton makes the list again, as I also loved his performance in Spider-Man Homecoming! He really brings life to the role of Vulture, a villain just trying to provide to his family.
Hugh Michael Jackman (born October 12, 1968) is an Australian actor, producer and musician. Jackman has won international recognition for his roles in major films, notably as superhero, period, and romance characters. I thought the Greatest Showman was a pretty enjoyable movie I guess, nothing special. But I really thought Hugh Jackman did a really good job as P.T. Barnum, and he really brought a charm to this role.
Andrew Clement "Andy" Serkis (born 20 April 1964) is an English actor and film director. He is best known for his performance capture roles comprising motion capture acting, animation and voice work for such computer-generated characters as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and The Hobbit: ...read more.
Sir Ian Murray McKellen is an English actor. He is the recipient of six Laurence Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a BIF Award, two Saturn Awards, four Drama Desk Awards and two Critics' Choice Awards. Clearly the obvious choice from the sumptuous adaptation of Beauty & the Beast. Sorry Emma Watson but I didn't believe you as Belle in the way I would have believed Dakota Blue Richards for example.
Kurt Vogel Russell is an American actor. He began acting on television at the age of 12 in the western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. In the late 1960s, he signed a ten-year contract with The Walt Disney Company where, according to Robert Osborne, he became the studio's top star of the 1970s. Kurt Russell did a very fine job playing Ego, Peter Quill's father and villain. He did a great job in terms of performance in general.
Mark Richard Hamill is an American actor and voice actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy – Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi and his portrayal of the Joker in Batman: the Animated Series. I felt like Mark Hamill really did a good job playing the new type of Luke in the new Star Wars.
Ansel Elgort is an American actor, singer, and DJ. Born to photographer Arthur Elgort and stage producer Grethe Barrett Holby, he began his acting career with a supporting role in the horror film Carrie.
