Jennifer Lopez as an Actress


Most of you guys probably hate her in this category but I always defended her acting skills. I think she's so underrated. Call me mad but she's even one of my favorite actresses.

My favorite films are "Blood and Wine" (1996), "Anaconda" (1997), "Selena" (1997), "The Cell" (2000), "Enough" (2002), "An Unfinished Life" (2005), "Parker" (2013)

She isn't the most talented out there, but she is absolutely gorgeous. I liked Enough and The Cell. And, a couple of her songs are pop guilty pleasures.

The way she talks, or should I say mumbles, is already enough to bug the hell out of me.

I think she is good, but let me put it this way, I think what criticism we do see or hear or read about JL is mostly motivated by negativity, like racism, sexism or something else along those lines. Her work is within the guidelines of what all other actors do so any attacks on her are fake and unfair. The only thing I care much about actors and actresses any more is are they on the political and economic right-wing. If so I don't want to contribute any money or energy to them because they have thrown in the people in the US that want to ruin the country and cheat the people. They are part of the problem.

Very good point. Thanks for your honest opinion

She is underrated, I agree. She's as good as Justin Timberlake. Which is also underrated.

She has a very warm presence that comes across the screen. I always liked her.

She seems a decent person, but for me it's a no to her acting. She's not even that great in roles where she is a secondary or background character. But your opinion is yours, so glad you get something out of her performances.
