Actors that you just 'don't get'....

Dont worry, youre not alone. Ledger was a good actor, but not THAT good.

Seth Rogan...will never ever ever get the hype about this fat, unfunny tw*t. I have had funnier skin rashes.
 
I've never understood the fascination with Jason Statham.

I'm a bloke. I like action films. But I just can't bear to watch anything he's in.
 
I forgave Orlando Bloom after he appeared in Extras. Kind of made me realise that - he might not be the best actor - but he can take the mick out of himself and thats good.
 
Nicolas Cage.

His "hairstyles" seem have to more presence in his films than he does, i find it funny that people cite his best film role as being Leaving Las Vegas, which is a truly ridiculous film about a man who seems to be able to drink so much raw alcohol straight from the bottle without literally hawking up his liver through his nostrils and then falls in love with a gorgeous stunningly beautiful hooker played by Elisabeth Shue, who makes Julia Roberts' gorgeous hooker in Pretty Woman look like a back alley crackwhore.

I hate movies that actually look like they are made to tick all the boxes the Academy requires a movie to have before they can be considered for Academy Award nomination and Leaving Las Vegas seemed to fall into that kind of category for me, in the same way mawkish sentimental rubbish like Forrest Gump, Crash and Dances With Wolves do too.
 
I think eventually we'll see him in an unflinchingly raw biopic of Chas N Dave directed by Anton Corbijn, with Dyer playing Dave and Nick Moran playing Chas.

Paddy Considine will be nominated for a BAFTA Best Supporting Actor award for his bravura acting skills tackling the role of Ossie Ardiles.
 
Another Nicholas Cage vote. A brooding facial expression does not make up for a complete lack of acting ability, he is the same in EVERY movie. I actually avoid anything he is in.

Renee Zellwegger - I think she's God awful, all she does is pull this grimace expression and that annoying baby voice.

Natalie Portman, started out with great promise, but have not seen her shine in anything since her younger years.

Jude Law

Eric Bana, partly because he has the most enormous ears ever - you should see him in Troy, also I thought he was really poor in both that and Munich.

Colin Firth - don't get his appeal at all, and yes I've seen P&P I just don't find him attractive at all, he's so ordinary and non distinctive.
