Top 10 Most Overrated Actors and Actresses

Everything about Jolie is overrated: her acting "skills," her "parenting time," her so-called charitable causes. Over half her films have tanked at the box office, and the characters she inhabits in them are essentially the same: Angelina Jolie. UN ambassador? Jolie is merely one of several for one UN agency. The 39 other UN agencies employ hundreds of celebrities to advertise their causes.

Her photo-ops with impoverished children are virtually bogus. And acquiring six kids in six years is no evidence of any maternal streak. Some people collect baseball cards, Jolie collects kids, no doubt to serve as props for her photo-ops. When has she had time for "mothering" them? Ask any working mother. As well as being vastly overrated, the woman is phony through and through.

She had never heard of the Kosovo war, Bosnia, Serbia, until recently? What planet was she on? Rhetorical question. It was what it still is: the World of Angelina Jolie.

Jennifer Lopez is a classic example of what some might call an "anybody" with a "pork snout" face that, only with the wonders of plastic surgery, is now considered ever so beautiful. Oh, what it is to afford great plastic surgery...

She also seemingly has the personality and intelligence appeal of a Vaseline sandwich, which could be why all her exes dumped her in a short time. Only her less attractive husband has remained. She does not have a singing voice. It's highly refined only through today's technological alterations. Notice the multiple background singers cutting in to diminish her screeching. It is her svengali's idea because she can barely act on screen. I'd be surprised if all the money he pumps into her presence lasts one more year. You can fool some of the people some of the time?

I am a huge fan of science fiction and, in particular, vampire movies. My wife also really enjoys the same thing. The entire series of Twilight was horrible for me because of this one actress. She does not provide believability in her role. She is depressing to watch, but it is not acting. She seems to be depressing in all things.

A good actor has the ability to be different than they are in real life. The role needs to dictate the mood and needs to transcend. The role needs to bring the viewer into the scene. Her acting makes me want to leave the theatre or turn off the television.

My child and I regularly burst out laughing while watching the Harry Potter movies, simply because of her intensely bad acting. We ended up barely able to watch them anymore because of her.

And since, I sometimes see these "star" photographs of her, with comments about her being the epitome of beauty, etc. - that's another howler... She is one of the most profoundly ordinary-looking girls I have ever seen. There is nothing spectacular or remarkable about her looks at all... So weird...

The only reason anyone likes her is because Hermione is a relatable character. It had nothing to do with what she added with her performance, and she's been saved by fans' avid love for a book character that they mistakenly see synonymously as Emma. She pretends she's just as strong a woman as Hermione is when she's just not (and not good at pretending she is either).

Brad came to Hollywood for one reason - to be famous. He was a starstruck little boy and wanted to be a big deal too. Acting was the only way for him to gain reverence. Being a good actor is not really all that important to him or Angie. They just want the publicity, the PR, and the magazine covers.

As soon as we stop drooling over pretty faces and stop buying the music and watching the movies, maybe Hollywood will bring talent back. Remember when you had to be good to be a movie star? Do you think Dustin, Duvall, De Niro, Nicholson, would be able to make it in Hollywood today? No way. Not pretty enough. We do this to ourselves by what we watch and what we purchase. The Oscars are a joke! Julia Roberts? I'll never get over that one.

Agreed, she's not a good actress and seems to have the best publicist in Hollywood. She doesn't take on any dramas, and never adopts accents. At 46, one would think she could manage an accent or speak another language. When listening to her interviews, she stammers and doesn’t complete her sentences.

On Ellen, she participated in the "repeat after me" scene, and while discussing birds... Ellen told her to ask the guy they were joking with, “Do you like finches, you know, common birds,” and Jennifer asked, “Do you like fishes?” She's not the most articulate woman.

One last thing, her Aveeno commercials. You can tell that she's been practicing the word "results." "Aveeno simply beautiful results" sounds so forced. Hollywood is run by actors these days, so if you have your own production company, you pretty much have the movie in the bag. Hopefully, the academy will stay true to giving Oscars to people who are truly talented.

Looking at these comments, I am convinced that Ben Affleck has found this site himself and informed Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, and a few of his other friends to get on here and say good things about him and his "acting skills". Truth be told, Ben Affleck is subpar. Yes, he was good in Argo, The Town, and maybe even Gone Girl, but only in that because he had to play a big, dumb, clueless idiot, which is a role he is fit for.

Yet Hollywood keeps casting him to play these harder, tougher characters like Batman, a role I'm sure he will struggle with because, well...if he couldn't cut it as Daredevil, how the hell is he going to cut it as Batman? I'll never understand how he keeps getting cast. He seems more like a manager or supervisor at a Home Depot than an actor.

She always plays the same character, who interestingly enough, always has the same vacant look. Many people claim she is "subtle," but that would imply something good. What I think is that Scarlett Johansson is completely lackluster in reality.

As far as her being a sex symbol, maybe her body, but facially, like I said, vacant. There is no fire. It isn't even a dreamy vacant look. She is boring, usually way overdone with the makeup and tight clothing. I find her to be one of the most over-hyped "hotties" of Hollywood.

She can't act at all! I don't know how she even got into "House of Wax." If it wasn't for her rich grandfather's last name and her attractive looks, she wouldn't have gotten a reality TV program with Nicole Richie. It must be due to her last name and their last names.

She's rich, but she is not pretty and she is not talented. I am not rich, pretty, or talented. If I could choose one to be, I would choose rich. She's doing great even if she cannot act, because money cannot buy everything, including talent. 1 out of 3 isn't bad.

She is one of the most untalented people I've ever seen, and trust me, I've seen a lot. If it wasn't for her last name, she wouldn't be anywhere in life.

More overrated than Disney's Frozen!

I have to say he and Kristen make a good couple for a constant appearance at the Golden Raspberry Awards. Apart from that, he is fine, a little bit immature, though. I mean, at least he is a better actor than Kristen, who certainly knows little about acting and facial expressions. Sad story.

Definitely not attractive. Very immature on screen. Although the Twilight books and films were the worst things I've ever read/seen, so he really didn't have a lot to work with there...

How is this guy ranked behind Brad Pitt? Seriously, a man who plays a moody vampire, who is attractive to 10-year-old girls, is apparently better than Lt. Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds or Tyler Durden in Fight Club. It makes no sense.

She is nice to look at when I'm not bored to tears. She was only a kid when she did The Professional, and it's not like she had to do a lot of acting in that movie. It's been downhill ever since, and yet she gets tons of respect from critics as an actress because she went to Harvard, and she's considered to be intelligent and liberal. However, that doesn't mean someone is great at acting.

Everyone blamed the undeniably stilted dialog in the Star Wars films for her horrid performance. Great actors and actresses are supposed to make the characters they play more compelling, even if they have little to work with. She has a machine-like focus and is devoid of all emotion in her movies. She could play a great serial killer.

His ridiculous, overdone, speech mannerisms make me want to kick him in the teeth until he can pronounce the letter "s" without deliberately whistling it. He must think that makes him sexy, so he does it all the time. Once you pick up on it, it becomes obvious and completely pulls you out of whatever you are watching with this buffoon in it.

And he can't really act. He just does Matthew McConaughey ALL THE TIME. He's an incredibly annoying individual. He should limit himself to underwear commercials. He'd be spot-on in those because then we wouldn't have to look at his face.

I would vote for him if Tom Cruise wasn't higher on the list. Anyway, just dropping by this comment: he plays the same guy in every movie, and yes, he does it well, but damn, this guy has no range. Plus, everyone talks about him deserving an Oscar and all. He has gotten too much publicity.

He works with good directors, he does good work. He works with bad directors, he does bad work. Makes you wonder. Also, he has no screen presence, and even his dialogue delivery is questionable. Plus, his accent seems so fake. Fake pain, fake happiness, fake everything. He's good at best, not "one of the best" out there. Thank you.

I've never liked Megan Fox. I've never thought she was a good actor. I think all the movies she was in were mediocre, except for the TMNT movies because I have a soft spot for them. I also never really thought she was attractive. All she is is just a pretty face (like said, never really thought she was pretty, but others do). She is overrated.

Another horribly talentless, surgically-enhanced embarrassment skating by on her looks. Seriously, Hollywood, if you have to make every female starring role some kind of cookie-cutter femme-bot, at least find one that can act. I like attractive actresses as much as the next guy, but I can't stand watching her. It's a shame... Transformers could have been so epic.

Nicolas Cage should find a cage far away from Hollywood and lock himself in it. This man has absolutely zero talent. His expressions get worse as he ages. And by expressions, I mean expression, because this man has absolutely no emotion or range in his acting abilities. You'd think he had plastic surgery, but he hasn't. He just fails at showing any sort of emotion and, therefore, fails at his only job: acting.

I hope directors put him on a blacklist of actors not to cast, to save us all the trouble of seeing his face on screen ever again. Talentless. Emotionless. And hopefully soon jobless.

'The Eye' was the worst movie I have seen in a long while. She never seems to have a true main objective while she is portraying any of her characters, and her line delivery is just atrocious. Her tactics are inconsistent, displaying erratic emotions and blank stares with her huge eyes. Biting or licking your lips is not a feeling or an emotion, even though she seems to think so! Emotion should be conveyed through acting, not just through facial expressions!

She can't act her way out of a plastic bag. I've seen a brick wall with more talent. She is rude and seems unintelligent, although I'm not sure if that's just put on for the cameras. Plus, her looks are definitely overrated. There are far more attractive actresses. I don't find her even slightly appealing!

I was once a good basketball player, but now I'm just fat, lazy, and can barely dunk a biscuit. Just like De Niro was once a very good actor in the 70s and 80s, but now if you ignore everything done before the 90s, he seems like a very mediocre actor just trading off past glories.

I think De Niro is a great actor, and he does his thing really well, but yes, he is certainly overrated. He doesn't have a lot of variation in his acting, and you can always see that it's De Niro.

I'm not a big fan of the man. He plays the same character, some New York Italian guy or a mobster-like man who wants to kill everything! He has no range and acts like he wants to give up on life.

Oh my God, I searched this entire list JUST FOR HER! Before you all give my comment a thumbs down, please hear me out.

1. I'll admit she's a good actress overall… But not in The Hunger Games. All she does is stare at people with her face slightly agape (Kristen Stewart, anyone?). Why did she even get cast as Katniss? Isn't Katniss supposed to be starved?

2. Her looks are SO overrated. I'm a guy. I'm not just being "jealous." She looks like a whale! She's always shiny with her blubber oil! So gross! She has FOLDS!

3. She has a horrible personality. She's just so smug. When she beat Meryl Streep (who, although she is also overrated, is better than Lawrence), she was just like, "What can I say? I beat Meryl!" That's just SO STUCK UP! She's a good actress, and she knows it, but she doesn't have to be so open about it. BE HUMBLE!

Thank you, that is all.

In every one of his films, he doesn't even exert enough effort to immerse me in the suspense of disbelief. Why? Because all of the characters he portrays (especially in Ocean's 11, 12, 13) are always that cocky, rich bachelor that really annoys the living daylights out of me.

Not to mention, his role as Batman (in Batman & Robin) still remains that cocky bachelor that I despise. How the heck did he still have an acting career after that pile of garbage? None of his movies ever entertained me but rather aggravated me. There are SO many actors out there working hard to get into the movie industry, and it insults me to see that Clooney doesn't even try in ANY of his movies.

Great actress in terrific movies? Emma was one? Look for the "Emma" movie version with Kate Beckinsale (A real British actress with no fake bad British accent like Gwyneth Paltrow and, most of all, better looking and more talented than Gwyneth Paltrow!). This movie alone already proves that Gwyneth Paltrow is too overrated when you see the Kate Beckinsale version.

What a flake! So full of herself, she's a joke. Probably one of the most annoying, talentless, and stupid women on the planet.

Annoying to watch this ugly and untalented person who thinks she can do it all. Who does she think she is!

I've never understood the hype surrounding this guy. The only good performance he ever gave was in Carlito's Way. Apart from that, he just goes through the motions for every part he plays. I never understood why The Thin Red Line was considered good. Sean Penn just ruined it for me. His acting was the only problem I had with The Game.

He's just a guy with connections who tries to look convincing. It's one thing to appear intense, but it's a completely different thing to genuinely emote. You would think that someone influenced by Robert De Niro would know this.

He plays the same character, just in a different situation, in every single movie. He gets lucky and has good writers, so a lot of his movies are really funny and very quotable. Anchorman is a good example. However, his acting gets boring and repetitive. I find myself quoting him and then forgetting from which movie the quote actually came, all too often.

I agree that, for the most part, he is a bad actor. He is a decent comedian when a flick is well-paced and scripted, but only when he has a good supporting cast, which often reflects more on them in that case, in my opinion. I have to say I do like quite a few of his movies, but a lot of the ones that depend on him to carry are unwatchable for me.

She should have been a model, not an actress. All she has going for her are her looks.

Her being abused doesn't make up for her lack of any real talent.

Even her looks are average at best.

Now, I wouldn't say that Johnny Depp is a bad actor, as I believe that he has talent, but many of his roles are similar. It seems that many girls and women love him because they consider him attractive, which could be one of the reasons for his fame (but I'm an idiot anyway, so don't quote me on that). The only movie starring Johnny Depp that I really liked was Edward Scissorhands.

He had a good start, but he has since become a parody of himself. He's extremely overrated. It's like every movie he's in nowadays is just an excuse for him to wear a lot of makeup and reprise his weirdo guy character. The fact that he was even nominated for Best Actor for Pirates of the Caribbean is pretty much a travesty.
