am i the only one that doesn't mind Adrien Brody in Predators..?
Loved him in this. 😎
He was amazing. I have no idea who made this list
@@RantManRants i've seen so many people trash him over the years for his casting, i genuinely don't understand the over the top hate for him. he's no Arnold of course, but he still does the job. the film as a whole is underrated af
Some people just don’t like Adrien.
I loved him too! It’s also the second best Predator movie…well maybe Prey is, but I still want a sequel!
I'll see your Tom Holland as Nathan Drake in Uncharted, and raise you a Mark Wahlberg as Sully in Uncharted. The casting of this flick is so baffling.
U got that right!
I'll see your Mark Wahlberg as Sully and raise you Mark Wahlberg in any movie he's cast!! LOL
@@petejemmott7657 Boogie Nights & The Departed?
Mark Wahlberg wanted Nathan’s role too lol
they really dun goofed when they waited so long that Nathan Filion aged out of the role. he was perfect
Adrien Brody in Predators (and the movie as a whole) was solid. We have to stop this slander!
Imo, his movie was the 2nd best Predator movie
Agreed
I fully disagree about Saw Guerra. I feel Whitaker captured the paranoia of a hunted rebel as well as the mental fatigue of it
💯
Whitaker was great in the movie. I think they saw a different movie to us🤔
Agreed !!!
Agreed, and I think Saw Guerra's appearances in episodes 8 & 11 of "Andor" (Season 1) really help to flesh out his character.
I think Adrian Brody’s Casting was inspired in Predators. And think he’s damn good.
He was damn good; this list got my downvote for such idiocy.
@@chopchop1437 yep it’s a shame we never saw more of him.
When ‘The Predator ‘ was released and we had all the stuff about what could have been in that pod at the end. In my ‘Mind Canon’ I always imagine that opens with Royce within.
Agreed. Brodie did just fine.
The predator as a character and design is good, but doesn't come close to the xeno...no way bwuv!
I couldn't even see the screen. His nose was blocking it
Adrien Brody killed that role. I dig whatculture as a whole, all the different types of videos (gaming, horror etc.) That submission actually pissed me off. Not only is Predators a badass movie, but Adrien carried that movie. Get real What Culture. Stop reaching.
I also feel Brody actually impressed me in Predators
@@rehanimus Yep. Me too. Go figure.
Beyonce was never a good actress. The Lion King was so bad that even Elton John was disappointed
IKR, streisand thinks she would be better than Gaga for the role of Ali on ASIB
Beyonce was absolutely wonderful in DreamGirls, though. :)
Regarding Lion King: One can teach an actor to sing (easier) than you can teach a singer to act. No wonder the remake is on this list.
This is so obviously false that I wonder if you've ever seen a film.
As one who has studied acting AND singing, singing is MUCH more difficult than accessing one's emotions. Acting is much easier than singing because singing requires acting to do successfully. Acting doesn't require singing....
AND "Little Mermaid". Can we hope that this fool's errand of Disney is finally coming to an end?
Will Smith was horrible as the Genie. He deserves to be on this list.
He was brilliant in an amazing movie that made billions
@@bensolo2000 Alice in Wonderland and Captain Marvel made billions, too.
I absolutely love Streets Of Fire, and I think Michael Pare is just fine as Cody. Cody is a war-worn, jaded ex soldier. Why would that make the character an emotion machine?
1000000% agree!
He was a very underrated actor in loads of 80's and early 90's action films
No one said that he needed to be an emotion machine. It's his line delivery that's being criticized. Whenever Arnold Schwarzenegger talks in the first Terminator movie, it's memorable to most audiences. I just watched Robin Williams in Insomnia and he's also emotionless yet he put on a very good performance. Al Pacino in the first two Godfather films was also largely subdued.
Agree. Streets of Fire is one of my all-time favorites.
Conor McGregor in Road House was hilarious. He was an over the top cartoon-y villain yes, but he basically just played himself. It was unintentionally funny, and if you don't take him seriously every move he makes, every word out of his mouth is utterly hilarious. I feel like he was the best part of the movie, in a "it's so bad it's good" kind of way
I liked Adrien Brody in Predators, no problem at all with him.
Big miss on Streets of Fire. MP did a very credible job. Yes, he couldn't keep up with the other talent in the movie but this is one my long time B movie loves and many others will say the same thing. We don't watch it despite MP; he's part of the package and part of the B movie vibe. Sorry, you don't get it.
I don’t think they understand their own point. The acting wasn’t bad, the casting may have been.
Must the roles have one thing I common. Stop hiring the "IT" person of the moment. Just cuz they are good at one thing doesn't mean they can act
Two words: Rachel Zegler.
@@MSgt5J071
She went for, being an ‘it girl’ to just an ‘it’. She should get that mega prom ckmtract while anyone still wants to see her naked.
The best alien in a film?
Xenomorph? Nah.
The predator? Nah
Chewbacca? Yep
THANK YOU SO MUCH for including Streets Of Fire in here, it is SO UNDERRATED! YEAH, Pare's not the most charismatic guy in the world, but the role was pretty much in his wheelhouse(Eddie and the Cruisers). Nonetheless, it is an AWESOME movie, and has a minor role played by one of the most badass punk icons of the '70s (Lee Ving of FEAR).
When I watched Road House (2024), it felt like two different films. The first was pretty good, with some interesting ideas. Then McGregor appeared and suddenly it became a far less entertaining movie.
I watched it today. When he first showed up on screen, butt naked and walking like an Ape pretending to walk like a human I thought "oh so I guess this movie won't be good anymore"
Yes, his line delivery is the worst part of that movie
@@Meester_Smeeth My thoughts exactly. I remember saying to myself that it didn't even look like he knew how to walk.
@@danielrubinstein896 Indeed. It was far more painful that any injury he inflicted upon Jake's character.
Why did they make thst piece of crap. It was obviously going to be terrible.
I was going to argue when I saw Venom, until I realized which Venom we were talking about… 😅
I disagree about Topher Grace, and here’s why:
Was he a good Venom? No. If you are basing off of the comics, that is not him. Is he good in the role given to him? Yes. His version of Eddie is great, and him just being a pettier version of Peter is inspired… until they had to make him Venom for five minutes at the end. Spider-Man 3 is great and bad and fantastic and terrible.
Agreed. It's a bad adaptation of the comic-book villain, but it works well on its own terms with Eddie Brock a refracted version of Peter Parker.
Agreed, though I don't think the bad ending was really his fault. I enjoyed Grace in that role and feel he did what he could with what he was given.
Dude, Adrian Brody was awesome as Royce in Predators. That's been the best Predator movie since the first two. This sounds like somebody just not liking Brody.
It always funny to me that there is obviously one entry that they want to talk about so they make a list around it.
Its funny that most of us know Beyonces best acting role as Foxxy Brown from Goldmember. 😂 shes just not an actor, although if she put forward a little effort, she could be. Correct me if im missing any roles.
'Yonce sucks.....(at acting)
Jennifer hudson outshine her completely in that Dreamgirls movie, She's just that bad, a lesser known (at the time) actress/singer outshine her completely
Foxy Cleoptra, is a whole lotta woman!
I’d bet a good amount of money that Forrest Whittakers performance was greatly influenced by direct. Not to mention many hands in the pie including two directors and a bunch of studio notes. I’m pretty sure he’s supposed to be a rebel version of Vader without the full medical support Vader got from the empire. As painful as his suit may be
@@smalls-ii1zd Star wars has a big problem with over directing their actors. And with Whitacre, he takes direction seriously. I worry that Filony will do the same if given the big reigns. He may over direct and pull a George. "I don't like sand." Lol
@@clarencekisamore3281 I agree. I’d say that half of These listen you could lay at the director or studios feet
I think the Tom Holland spot should have gone to Mark Wahlberg. Holland could have been a young Drake. Wahlberg never once looks or acts like Sully.
A MENTION OF STREETS IF FIRE?!?! THAT IS SUCH AN AMAZING MOVIE!!
Streets of Fire should be on every list. I want everyone to finally know about this awesome non-so-80s movie.
Dont insult Streets of Fire in anyway whatsoever. Just dont.
1) Adrien Brody was and is awesome, in that movie too.
2) The best cinematic aliens are the Martians from "Mars Attacks".
Anybody that doesn't think Adrian Brody didn't pull off his role in Predators hasn't spent time around SoF guys.
This fellas cadence is all over the place.
I know i'm not the only one that thinks MacGregor's Knox was EXACTLY what that kind of movie needed. A cartoony campy villain that just chewed threw everything with enthusiastic gusto. He made what could have been a boring villain so much fun, and his poor acting ability just added to that. Crushed it, unintentionally or otherwise.
I’m gonna piggyback off of Venom and say Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kassidy/Carnage. He just didn’t bring the cringe and energy that role deeply needs. After hearing him voicing The Joker and playing Trickster on tvs The Flash, I would say Mark Hamill does psychopath in a way that would’ve been perfect for Carnage
I thought Laurence Fishburne was more out of place in Predator than Adrien Brody😅😅
Mark Wahlberg in Uncharted was a far worse casting choice.
John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror. Even he said he was terribly miscast in that one.
I just saw the underrated Streets of Fire for the first time, on the big screen, a month ago. What a gem! And, yeah, Michael Pare is clearly the film's weakest link, but I don't mind him in the film when everyone else is so memorable. Plus, Tom Cruise would have been too short and too cocky for the role. Pare is effective as a dumb lug hero who is complimented by smarter characters like Rick Moranis' insecure and mercenary talent manager and Amy Madigan's cynical and hard-as-nails veteran.
McGregor chews up every scene he is in
Spot on with Connor McGregor. Though he isn't an actor. Stupid casting. As someone who's enjoyed Jake Gyllenhaal's acting over the years the only thing that impressed me this time was his physical conditioning. In what was an all round trash attempt to remake a movie that shouldn't have been attempted to start with.
History lovers hated Napoleon because of how much the film took liberties. Napoleon was supposedly way much younger when he did his achievements, but Joaquin Phoenix is almost 50.
I bet Stanley Kubrick must be turning in his grave, since Ridley Scott got to make a film about Napoleon and he did not. I still want to watch that film though.
I dont mind brody in predators, I'd say topher grace is the more jarring casting as it took away the shock as he usually plays a weasel, just put him on the list twice 😂
With Connor mcgreggor in road house he reminded me of the androids in robocop 3 just grinning and being a bit creepy.
It could be said there were better casting options or the writing let down the role but to say ‘terrible acting’ from Adrien Brody in ‘Predators’ you’ve clearly just got some hate for the guy because he did a great job, 2nd best predator movie if not prey, his role is fun to watch. Gritty, short-line comments but felt a good match for the role.
Royce isn't Dutch. Adrien Brody isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger. Plus, casting and acting are two different things. Not every military related man is a huge muscular mountain who would require metric tonnes of nutrition in the jungle.
Unpopular opinion: I enjoyed Connor McGregor in Road House. That doesn't mean I thought his acting was good, it wasn't. But he looked like he was having a blast making this movie and I thought he was entertaining. It's funny, I enjoyed Jake's performance because I got invested in his story and he genuinely made me believe he was Dalton. When you look at it, Jake plays a character who has some depth that you get invested in because you want to know more of his backstory and you definitely need a good actor to pull that off. Connor plays a psychopath who will kill someone and not think about it after. That character does not need depth, it just needs to be entertaining and I honestly think Conner pulled in off. Sure I had to watch the movie a couple of times to appreciate the performance, but it was fun.
my jaw dropped when i saw that tom holland was playing nathan drake and mark wahlberg was playing sully, not only are neither of them right for their respective roles, but their acting styles are completely different and in no universe would i buy mark wahlberg being tom holland's mentor
I thought Conor did okay for his first ever role
Brody’s portrayal of Changretta in Peaky Blinders I thought took away from the show and was a poor performance for such a great actor. He basically played a stereotypical goomba who wasn’t as intimidating as the character should’ve been.
How am i supposed to see the bad acting if you dont let us hear the bad deliveries?! Shut up a min and let the lines show not tell
Why am I not surprised that Connor MacGregor's performance stunk? Oh thats right it was obvious in the trailer. Glad I skipped the remake.
So how do you know his performance wasn't good? Because you let others tell you what to think
He's an arsehole and a cokehead, I wouldn't watch anything with him in
I didn’t mind McGregor in the remake. His character was not meant to be Shakespearean.
Adrienne Brody was actually the best part of that movie
Nearly every film on this list had way more issues with the script then the acting. So I have no idea what the hell your implying but no one would have made most of these films better then what they are with the script they had.
Why didn't they just stick with Ernie Hudson for Triton? I know Happily Ever After isn't canon by any means, but that was still perfect casting imo. It's like why did Marvel recast Padro Pascal for Mister Fantastic/Reed Richards, when they already had the perfect match with John Krasinski?
Krasinski is bad in that role, he talks a big game but can't back it up
@@danielrubinstein896 Yeah. He was just there because so many fans hyped the idea. He's not a great Mr. Fantastic despite what he can do with other roles.
They need to go younger. Reed was pretty young when he became Mr. Fantastic.
Props for mentioning Streets of Fire! Michael Pare is what I use as an example of the worst acting in a movie ever. He was so friggin wooden.
Thank god I’m not the only one who thought Sophie Turners casting was a bizarre choice
I liked Brody in Predators...
Brody was actually great in Predators! J.Phoenix was surprisingly really disgraceful Napoleon, but it was also Ridley Scott's fault! And yes, Sophie Turner is a charisma void ruining Jean Grey character!
The miscast characters in Predators is Topher Grace's serial killer...
While I definitely agree with the list as a whole, a couple of these movies had other issues that largely contributed to the bad/phoned-in acting.
I disagree about Sophie. I think she is a wonderful actress but the script for Dark Phoenix was horrible. She did the best she could with what she had.
Diane Lane's performance in "Streets of Fire" can stand on its own apart from all the screwups in that movie.
Many of Disney's live action films should be up here
I saw Knox described as a coked up baboon and I can’t unsee it now
Brock Lesnar summed up how intimidating Connor is on one sentence "I have shits bigger than him"
McGregor was too over the top in this role and threw off the pacing and feel of the movie each time he was present so much so that some scenes made my wife and I laugh out loud
connor was the highlight of the movie, he was hilarious lmao
Conor's performance in Roadhouse was one of the highlights, and your lists are reaching harder and harder for negativity.
Honestly I thought Brody was great in Predators, going against the steroid bodybuilder stereotype for a soldier.
Also I’m not sure if Bardem’s bland performance is because he didn’t try or just because Disney’s output nowadays is just shit.
I liked Brody in predatorsl
I'd have to go with the Xenomorph as my fave alien. For me, it's the one in Alien 3. Why? Because A3 was the one where it introduced the concept of the Xenos taking on features of their hosts. Yes, the FX were horrific and all, but the concept of the Xenos being _that_ adaptable fascinated me then and now.
Do you not have the audio of which you speak due to licensing issues? I really would to have heard what you were speaking about. :-)
Well.. I may have overheard it wrong the first time, but certainly not the second. From this day it's Wacky Phoenix for me :D
Is Gareth going for a Toast of London delivery? His content is great imho but his delivery is tonally weird.
I disagree about Saw and Royce 🤷♀️
can't believe you talked about multiple live action disney remakes and didn't mention the total dumpster fire that was will smith in alladin. i can't imagine anyone being able to replicate william's iconic turn, but will smith was just about the worst choice possible. he's so far past his expiration date that he just came off like your unfunny uncle trying to do impressions while he's drunk. every scene he was in was cringe beyond belief. honestly, the only people that might have been able to tackle that role are jack black or jim carrey, other than that, it was just a disaster waiting to happen. besides, smith was never particularly good to begin with - movies he was in that were good were usually good in spite of him, not because of him.
McGregor's performance was the most memorable thing in Roadhouse, and not in a bad way
Adrien Brody pulls off the role of badass much better in the 2021 movie "Clean"
I blame the writers and directors for X-men movies. They neglected the comics as far as the characters go. The actor wasn’t bad, just the story changed the character.
I may be dating myself, but I would throw in Warren Beatty as John Reed in Reds. John Reed was not the cutesy pretty boy Beatty portrays him as.
I thought Warren was great in Reds. Hollywood always prettifies real-life people, and for a political activist, the real-life Reed was fairly handsome, if not movie-star handsome. His speech on the train about democracy brought a tear to my eye.
Javier Bardem gave a performance worthy of the live action Little Mermaid film
Personally, I don’t want to see Conor McGregor in anything, ever. He is a garbage human being. He ruined the remake of Roadhouse for me.
Javier Bardem didn't bring much to the role of father to a daughter played by a woman older than him. How odd! It's Berry who was miscast.
I think Sophie Turner did a good as Jean Grey in the X-Men franchise not like Jennifer Lawrence as Mysterique in the X-men franchises and she felt boring soulless. Not like actresses in the first three X-men movies,she was perfect felt more like the character too.
Lawrence doesn't want to be there and it shows, Turner was fine in the role, she's just not big enough to lead a movie
Two words, WhatCulture: Wacking Phoenix.
My god someone remembers streets of fire
Adrian Brody trying to be "tough action hero" was painful to watch. Killed what could have been a great movie. I still enjoyed it, but Adrian was horribly miscast. Which is a shame. He is a good actor who would have been better cast in the psycho role played by Topher Grace. Although Topher was the best actor in the whole movie.
Venom was always BIG. Topher Grace in his Venom skinsuit was just too small. Tom Hardy is significantly bigger than Topher to start with, but the most crucial change they made in the Tom Hardy Venom movies, was to make the symbiote increase his mass like 2-3 times, making Venom appear to be the correct, intimidating size.
I liked Predators and didn't think he acted it badly, but yes he did feel very out of place
Everybody was offended when i said Sophie was going to fail miserably as Jean Grey.
I dont think Adrian Brody's and Topher Grace's entries on here are valid. It's not that the acting was bad, they were just poorly casted. I mean Brody gave it his all in Predators, it's just him as a person wasn't right... same for Topher, you could see Topher was having a blast in his role and seemed excited about being venom.... he just wasn't the right person for it. Unlike the Joaquin Phoenix, who just seemed to lull through Napoleon or how spot on you were on Forrest whittaker... just my 2 cents
Man, if anabolic steroids was a person, Connor MacGregor is it.
Sophie Turner wasn't the only one to stink up the X-Men franchise. Let's not forget Jennifer Lawrence.
Am I the only one who felt like Connor thought he was playing a leprechaun? 😂
WTF Brody was the best thing about Predators 🤦🏻♂️
Brody has given lazy, stupid performances in Predators and Peaky Blinders.
Replace Sophie Turner as Jean Grey with Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse. Turner wasnt great or anything but Isaacs performance was way worse. He's a good actor in other things but that performance was just embarrassing
What!!?! Knox is alive!? Him and Moe were great.
I thought he played a fun character, or at least has potential
But that’s just my opinion
Half of these are straight grasping at straws. Adrien Brody was not bad in Predators, just not amazing. McGregor in Road House was one of the best parts and I don’t care what anyone says. Sure, he played himself basically but that was fine for me. His video game GTA strut was hilarious! And Tom Holland was not that bad in uncharted based on what they were going for. If they wanted to do a fully adult rendition of Nathan Drake finding Shamballa, yeah we would have a big problem, but obviously they wanted a little more down to earth and young story to kick everything off. I would prefer the writing get changed before the casting on that one.
Michael Pare couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. His lip syncing in “Eddie and the Cruisers” was the worst in movie history!
Surprisingly i agree with all of these except number 1 cause I've never heard of it 😆
It is a must watch. Yeah they are right about Michael Pare not being right for the role but that is because this movie is fantastic and all the other actors were electric and he was mainly... meh.
Best alien? Mathilda May, Lifeforce.
