Good films spoiled by one bad performance

Have to agree with this one, was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread. Really made what would have been a good film a bit of a comedy when he was in the scenes.
 
Oddly enough, much as I love Mr Tarantino's movies generally, I can't enjoy Reservoir Dogs because I find Tim Roth too annoying. I think it's the accent.

I enjoyed him in Pulp Fiction though. Did he use his own (or at least a British) accent in that?

By the same token, I couldn't watch JFK for years because Kevin Costner just looked and sounded ridiculous to me. I eventually got over that one and now consider it a reasonably good film.

I think it's more a personal preference thing than bad performances though.
 
I'm thinking:

Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta

Winona Ryder in The Crucible

Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element

Anyone think of any more?
 
Au contraire, he's about 70 per cent of what made those movies popular. It's basically Jason Mewes playing himself by all accounts (apart from the apparently conquered smack habit) so how could he fail?
 
Whatever happened to Cary Elwes? He was very funny in Hot Shots, and his Wesley in The Princess Bride is one of the all-time best comedy performances of all time.

Maybe he neeRAB to just find another good comedy script...
 
Yes its a good movie minus her performance. But GF 2 just beats GF 1 for me and GF 3 comes in last. A great trilogy though. I do always argue GF 3 is good even though many are dissapointed by it.
 
Anything with Orlando Bloom in (with the exception of Lord of the Rings - these films are just boring anyway :p).

He's really a blocky actor and it's always the same. He can't adapt at all.
 
Any film with screaming kiRAB in it, I mean War of the worlRAB wasn't great but it would've been better without that kid screaming all the time. I hoped she'd get it first. :cool:
 
The Untouchables directed by Brian De Palma.
Superb movie.
There's a scene where a little girl is blown to bits by a bomb in a suitcase.
Shortly after her Mother visits Elliot Ness as played by Kevin Costner,but during her "emotional" speech you can see in her eyes she is ready to burst out laughing, and it looks like she will at any moment .
It spoils a fantastic movie
 
Why did everyone have to carry that kid in War of the WorlRAB too? She looked old enough to walk unaided, even run! But all the way through, Tom Cruise seems to be constantly carrying her...
