i was on the internet, bored out of my mind, found this. A lot I agree with, a few I did not, but a very few. Discuss, agree,rant,bash,etc.

 

[Girl_Wonder]

might as well do something before that Belmont race starts..and this looks interesting. my random thoughts on that list

20. agreed

19. never saw it...

18. AGREED. Alba should never have been in that movie. i mean, really..Sue Storm? i think not.

17,16,...never seen

15. ....wait, i'm trying to recover from my laughter. i had no idea Danson was in Saving Private Ryan t:

14. Colin Farrel and blonde hair do NOT mix

13..i actually didn't mind her..except she looked too young as Lois Lane

12. again, i dont mind him...

11....?

10-6 never seen,never seen, ne- you get the idea.

5. seriously? she actually played that? no way....

4. funny

3. never saw it..but i think i'd agree

2

1. HAHAHA. that's hilarious. poor Keanu. but really..it's kinda true....actually i take that back. i love Speed so that automatically makes me not hate Keanu....

yep, that was indeed fun t:

 

[Joker]

Some of these are so nitpicky it's not even funny. "Bosworth cant play lois lane, she's BLOND!!!!!!" ugh...they dyed her hair you ******, and that was the least of that movies problems...

Also, Keanu Reeves bashing went out of style about 10 years ago. The guys no DeNiro, but he's better than alot of other actors out there.

 

[odiin]

This deserves to be on the top 20 worst top 20 lists ever.

 

[Nightmare]

I agree with a lot on there, but seriously keanu reeves is worthless? Thats just stupid. Hate on him all you want but to be tagged "useless" is just dumb.


I actually liked there top 20 funniest scenes ever. (with video)

20. Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble
I'm a bit torn on this one. Lookswise, she was heavy, but Rosie pretty much got the character down, and I thought she was ok.

19. David Bowie as Pontius Pilate
Never seen it

18. Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, Invisible Woman
Agreed. And it should be further up on the list.

17. Jude Law as 'A Cockney Cad'
Never seen it

16. Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush
I'll actually wait for the movie to come out, but compared to the rest of the cast the movie has, I don't see anything wrong with it.

15. Ted Danson as An Army Sargeant
I honestly disagree here. Seems like a nitpick by someone who liked his character on Cheers.

14. Colin Farrell as Alexander
I disagree again. Alexander is one of the few historical/ancient movies that I enjoyed, and a large part of it was because of Farrell. The blonde hair was just the wrong shade.

13. Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane
Agreed 100%. A talentless blonde who brought nothing but the annoyance of trying to watch her act and be the love interest.

12. Orlando Bloom as a 'Crusader'
Never seen it

11. Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates
Agreed 100%

10. Edward G Robinson as Pharaoh
Totally disagree. And one of the guy's reasoning is 'Too Gangsta!'
Sure forget about the great acting he brought, and pick on his spray tan and not the rest of the cast's.

9. Keira Knightley as Domino
Never seen it.

8. Sean Connery as a 'Spaniard'
Never seen it, but sounds lame.

7. Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones
I'm sorta on the fence here. I don't care for Richards, but I didn't think she was a far stretch for the type of Bond girl she played compared to the other Bond Girls. However, I did feel they tried making her too empowered without looking like it could be believable.

6. William Shatner as a 'Cowboy' And Indian
Never seen it, but sounds lame.

5. Katharine Hepburn as a Chinese Peasant
Never seen it, but I don't think the list maker quite understands classic Hollywood.

4. Kevin Costner as Robin Hood
Disagree here. He wasn't bad really, it was just the movie I think.

3. Anthony Hopkins as a 'black Guy'
Never seen it, but heard of it and it did sound a bit stupid to me.

2. John Wayne as Ghengis Khan
Never seen it, and I think I may be glad.

1. Keanu Reeves in all his roles
I disagree.

 

[Sloth7d]

Alba and Rosie are the only ones I can agree with.

 

[matthooper]

Sophia Coppola in The Godfather 3 comes to mind.


When everything else in the film is a total mess, does the fact that Bosworth is really a blonde really matter?

 

[Bunker]

This list was a waste of time, some of them I agree with or have never seen them, but the others are just complete BS

 

[Sentinel X]

I havn't seen the human stain but why the hell would they chose a WHITE guy to play a BLACK guy? ....was it prostetics or are they just saying hes 'black'. How confusing.

 

[xwolverine2]

alba should've been number one!

the funniest had to have been Dennise(sp?) richards...is clever.....lmfao!!!!

 

[xwolverine2]

HAHA!t:


elizabeth banks as Bush:
"let's see her bush"

Bosworth: Lois Lame

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Dathan was never Pharaoh in Ten Commandments, so I don't know what they are talking about there. He was the Hebrew slave who sold out Moses to Rameses for a governorship.

 

[odiin]

I will say this about most of the list: Yeah, a lot of these are bad casting, but WORST EVER? Think about that for a second, even if Kate Bosworth wasn't a great Lois Lane, is it really fair to include her among the most miscast people in the entire history of cinema?

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

eh it's their opinion. i just thought it'd be something to keep a few people busy if i posted it. i don't agree with some of the things on that list like the hair crap, but performance wise? i definitely agree.

 

[Joker]

I havn't seen the human stain but why the hell would they chose a WHITE guy to play a BLACK guy? ....was it prostetics or are they just saying hes 'black'. How confusing.

From what I understand of the movie is, he was supposed to be playing an incredibly light skinned black man, who was totally unaware of his heritage. They had an episode of Angel that had a similar character, but she knew she was black, but was light skinned enough to pass as white.

 

[matthooper]

From what I understand of the movie is, he was supposed to be playing an incredibly light skinned black man, who was totally unaware of his heritage.

He's not unaware. He's completely aware of it. Both his natural born parents are black and he was raised by them. He happens to be completely white skinned, but he is actually a black man. He hides it as an adult though.

 

[zeptron]

Where's Clooney as Batman and Schwarzengger as Mr Freeze?

 

[SFII]

before looking at the list, the first one to pop into my mind was Jessica Alba as Sue Storm. she's the worst big-name actress of our time. she's hot as hell, but damn she's far from ever winning an Oscar, let alone get nominated.

now, i also agree that Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane was a bad choice too. look, i love Kate Bosworth. she's hot as hell, but she ain't right for Lois Lane. i even question the choice of Brandon Routh picked to be Superman/Clark Kent, to be honest.

another bad decision is Shia LeBouf in Transformers AND in Indiana Jones! he's just too damn immature, dorky, and annoying. he's better fit for comedies, not action flicks.

and, as a big Spider-Man fan, i'm not too fond of Tobey Maguire being picked to play Peter Parker. one thing that really bugged me is that he doesn't have brown eyes, like in all the comics and cartoons. and he just didn't seem badass and cocky enough. he was just too dorky than the comics or cartoons ever portrayed him.

oh, i just thought of another one... Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker. and even Natalie Portman as Padme. terrible performances.

 

[Gotham]

I don't see much wrong with Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush. The picture of her in costume didn't look bad.

 

[Joker]

oh, i just thought of another one... Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker. and even Natalie Portman as Padme. terrible performances.

I completely disagree. No one was any good in those movies, and it wasnt the fault of the actors. You can blame George Lucas terrible scripts and poor direction. As for Natalie, he seemed to be be more interested in playing dress up with her than giving her an actual character to play.

 

[Matis17]

Not a great list. But I have to agree with their slam on Keanu Reeves. He has always been a horrible actor and shows no signs of improving. As the list points out, he is only believable at playing a total doofus(Bill & Ted) or a guy in a perpetual state of confusion(The Matrix).

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Jake Gyllenhall as the Prince of Persia is the worst :

 

[SFII]

i disagree with slamming Keanu Reeves like that. sure, he's had bad roles(who hasn't?), but he was really good in Speed, The Matrix, The Lake House, and Point Break. to name a few.

as i've previously stated, Jessica Alba is the worst actress. but there are worse actors than Keanu Reeves.
for example, how bout: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Hayden Christiansen, to name a few.

 

[matthooper]

I completely disagree. No one was any good in those movies, and it wasnt the fault of the actors. You can blame George Lucas terrible scripts and poor direction. As for Natalie, he seemed to be be more interested in playing dress up with her than giving her an actual character to play.

I read an interview with Terrance Stamp a few years ago. He said while filming Crapisode 1, Lucas only had one direction for all actors...hit your mark and say your line. There was absolutely no direction other than that. Stamp made a point of saying without totally slamming him that Lucas was only concerned with the visuals. What a shocker.
