For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Jared Leto (I don't know why, I just really don't like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.

Mel Gibson and Jesse Eisenberg

I bet they hate each other too

Joaquin Phoenix, no exceptions. And it's totally not fair. He's a gifted actor, and I can't stand him for some reason.

This is very similar to whatever beef I have with Sean Penn.

I feel like he played his role in Gladiator too well, and I didn't like him for a while after that because he was such a good bad guy.. But I've come around and really appreciate what he's put out since, he's a great actor.

I hate him too except in the Lego movie. The serious turn at the end was kind of refreshing for him. I'll try Stranger That Fiction and see if I like it, since a fellow Will Farrell hater says it's good.

Additionally, I kind of hated Nicholas Cage until I saw The Color Out of Space which prompted me to actually learn a little more about him and figure out what he's even doing. Turns out I was mistaken, not just about him but kind of about film

Never liked Jack Black and I can't point to why

This will be an unpopular opinion but I cannot stand Nic Cage. He's unwatchable to me. His mannerisms, his delivery, everything about him tweaks me the wrong way.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know sometimes his acting is so bad it rounds the bend to being completely hilarious, such as in Face/Off.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Or Con Air.

The high point of his career as far as I'm concerned is "why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box."

Mine is also Will Ferrel.

Bradley Cooper, he just seems like a smug douche.

Shia LeBeouf was tolerable (some might even say good) in Fury, but other than that, yech.

Brian Cox, the isn't-science-and-astronomy-cool guy.

I love his works, cant get enough of the TV he puts out, always look forward to the next one, but there's just something about him that makes me want to hook him in the jaw. I cant figure out what my problem with him is, but its real.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I feel exactly similar except the last part. I'm curious, if you ever figure it out - please update this post.
