It’s one of my biggest pet peeves when a good movie is ruined by some bad acting..
tell me I’m not the only one.
Sometimes an actor just doesn’t get it right you know?
Let’s talk about some of them.
Today I’m sharing the Top 10 Actors Who Ruined The Movie Role.
10) Starting off the list at number 10 is Nicolas Cage for his performance in The Wicker
Man.
The original movie came out in 1973 and was remade in 2006 which casted Cage as one of
the leads in the thriller mystery.
After the movie came out, Cage has received some pretty harsh critics online for his performance.
Calling the movie the “best worst movie” and saying that his acting in the death scene
was nothing less of a joke.
In the movie his character Edward Malus is attacked by villagers and prepared as a sacrifice
for a cult.
His legs are broken, and he’s given a wire mesh helmet while bees are poured into it.
That’s when we see the worst acting we’ve ever seen.
If you haven’t seen it he begins to scream “No!
Not the bees!
My eyes!
My eyes!” followed by some very non-believable screams.
On one hand, it is very entertaining to watch, but the scene was meant to be dark and disturbing
and his acting completely kills that vibe.
The movie received 15% on rotten tomatoes and I think Nicolas Cage is the one to blame
for that.
9) At number 9 we have Scarlett Johansson in Ghost In a Shell.
Don’t get me wrong, I love her as an actress, but sometimes we just gotta be honest and
admit maybe this one wasn’t her best performance.
Her performance caused a lot of controversy and she took a lot of heat for being casted
as a white woman playing the role of an Japnese woman in the movie.
Ghost In The Shell is a Japanese Manga and Anime franchise created by Asian artists and
filmmakers.
Some of the filming was done in Hong Kong and even premiered in Tokyo on March 16th
2017.
People were outraged that Scarlett was “white washing” for her role in the film.
The controversy caused Paramount and DreamWorks to lose 60$ million dollars on the movie because
fans were refusing to see it.
The entire film was a mix of Japanese actors as well as white actors, but they say she
ruined the movie role because it just wasn’t realistic.
Her character stands out and not in the way you want it to.
Critiques have gone on to say the movie would’ve been a lot better if her role was given to
a Japanese actress instead.
Not that she is a bad actor, but she wasn’t right for this role and she ruined the movie
by taking it.
In an interview with Marie Claire magazine, Johansson said that she never wanted to take
the role away from an Asian actor and wouldn’t have accepted the role if that was the case.
She says it was a rare opportunity she wanted to take advantage of.
Hmm… what do you guys think?
8) Swiping our number 8 spot is Mike Myers in the movie The Love Guru.
He scored huge box office successes with Shrek, Austin Powers, and other roles as well, but
this one wasn’t one of them.
The Love Guru has been deemed as racist, obscene, and not funny at all.
The movie was said to be very offensive to people of Indian decent, especially their
spiritual icons.
Critiques stated that his role didn’t work because he was engaging a teenage audience
while trying to mix spirituality and humour; the combination can work but only if it’s
done well… and it seems that this was a bad attempt.
People also weren’t happy that the character was whitewashed, as Myers was white and played
a man who was raised in an Indian Ashram.
Overall, there was nothing saving this movie not even his co-star Jessica Alba.
7) In our number 7 spot is Lindsay Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me; the drama thriller that
came out in 2007.
The movie follows her lead role Aubrey Fleming who gets kidnapped by a sadistic killer.
When she escapes and returns to home, Aubrey shocks her family by claiming she doesn’t
remember them and saying she is someone else.
The trailer for the movie had a lot of fans excited, but that excitement quickly faded
once the movie came out.
The movie received a 3.6/10 rating on IMDB and 7% on rotten tomatoes, and was also considered
a box-office flop.
Reviewers called the film “incoherent and semi-vile” …. “pretentious and insane”…..
and “monumentally trashy”… come on guys, tell us how you really feel.
Critics said her acting was poor and the movie was considered the worst movie of its time
and racked up the most Razzies ever awarded to a single film.
Even her stripping scene in the movie wasn’t enough to impress the audience.
6) At number 6 we have John Wayne for his role in the movie The Conqueror.
He took the lead role of conqueror Genghis Khan who was born in Mongolia, which is part
of Asia.
John Wayne was born in Iowa, which could be seen as the whitest part the United States.
People were confused by the casting and considered it to be another white washing situation that
just didn’t make any sense.
The movie itself has been titled as one of the worst in film history and was a critical
flop.
And let’s not get started on the accent he didn’t have but should’ve had.
There was a distinct difference in the accents the rest of the cast were able to portray
but John Wayne clearly lacked.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is Halle Berry for her role as Catwoman.
You would think such an iconic role like Catwoman could be nothing less than successful, but
Halle Berry proved us wrong when the movie came out back in 2004.
People claim that the movie Catwoman was a horrible disaster.
The film cost $100 million dollars to make but only made back $30 million at the box
office.
Some critics said she was casted as an excuse to put her in skimpy outfits and it kind of
looks like they are right since fans said her fight scenes looked like fashion shoots.
Some went on further to say that she doesn’t deserve a second chance with the movie; seeing
as it received a 3.3/10 rating and 9% on rotten tomatoes.
Who do you guys think should’ve played Catwoman?
4) Coming into number 4 we have Ben Afflict in the movie Batman Vs. Superman.
Another superhero we should’ve been excited to see, but fans say that Afflict completely
butchered the role as Batman.
The movie received a really poor review on Rotten Tomatoes, and received a whopping 28%.
The actor received a lot of backlash after the movie came out, even though he is a very
successful actor with a few Oscars under his belt; he just wasn’t getting one for this
performance.
Not only was he taking heat for such a brutal performance as Batman, but he was also facing
the fact that he got caught cheating on his wife, Jennifer Garner, with their nanny.
So he’s not only a shitty batman, he’s also a shitty husband.
3) Alright guys, at number 3 we have Anne Hathaway for her performance in the movie
One Day.
The actress has a very successful career and has even won an Oscar for a performance; this
one wasn’t it though.
The movie came out in 2011 and she took on the role of Emma.
The movie required her to take on British dialect throughout the script and she admits
she really struggled with it.. and you can tell.
She co-starred with Englishman Jim Sturgess which made the pressure even worse.
Anne got slammed by critics for her accent attempt and some say she ruined the movie
adaptation of the best-selling book.
Throughout the movie you can hear her accent going in and out and one critic was harsh
to call her out on it.
Film critic Emanuel Levy said, and I quote, “If Hathaway’s inconsistent British accent
was the only problem in her acting, you could forgive and forget it.
But rendering one of her weakest performances, she seems lost in the puzzle”.
Ouch.
That’s gotta hurt.
2) Sliding into number 2 we have Alicia Silverstone for her role as Batgirl in the Batman & Robin
movie that came out in 1997.
The movie itself was considered a complete bomb, receiving an IMDB rating of 3.7/10,
and a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Fans were exciting that a superhero like Batgirl would be joining the gang of the city’s
crime fighters, but her performance was nothing but disappointing.
She even won a Razzie award for her horrible take as the superhero.
Some people think the movie could’ve put her on the map if her performance wasn’t
so brutal, while others say the movie didn’t stand a chance even if she DID do the part
justice.
The movie was just that bad.
1) Taking the number 1 spot on the list is Jared Leto for his role as the Joker in Suicide
Squad.
I might take a lot of heat for this, but there’s no way he did the role justice after we saw
Heath Ledger take on the role before him.
Those are some serious shoes to fill and I personally don’t think he filled them.
Don’t get me wrong, reports show that Leto was very dedicated to the role and went to
extreme lengths to stay in character as the Joker.
But unfortunately, the hard work didn’t come out in his performance and reviews say
his performance was “forgettable”.
If you watch the movie, he doesn’t actually have very many scenes, and the one’s he
was in were nothing special to remember.
Fans went on to say that his acting for the role lacked the dangerous and chaotic nature
that Ledger portrayed in the role.
I know it’s not fair to totally compare the two actors, but when casting for such
a legendary role, you have to make sure it goes to someone who can do a proper representation.
Luckily, Leto wasn’t the only bad part about the movie.
The movie itself received some rough critiques and scored 27% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Alright guys, I think I’ve put down enough actors for today.

the leaked nudes.
Lol - - - yeah, definitely not something you want to be remembered by.
Steven George says: If Jocelyn reads my comment in a future video, does that make me as awesome
as her?

Lone Wolf says: Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network were part of my childhood
I really wish they would bring back good cartoons like on those channels.
- - I couldn’t agree more I wish they had those old shows on Netflix.
Well, we’re at the end here guys, that’s all I got.
