7/10

I don't think anyone thinks she's a terrible actress, she just gets hate because of Goop, and because many feel she undeservedly won an Oscar over Cate Blanchett. But she's a talented actress.

Random fact some people might not know: she's one of the best Spanish speakers out of non-Latino celebrities, she learnt it during a study program in Spain. She's good enough at Spanish she's done movie interviews in Spanish with Spanish-speaking media many times, available on Youtube if you search for it.

I saw her speak Spanish on one of those "celebrities you didn't know spoke another language". I didn't know how she spoke it, but at least now I know.

I really dislike what I have seen of her in interviews, and don't even get me started on the whole Goop shit, but as an actress I think she's okay. I just don't find anything spectacular about her. I don't avoid her movies, but I don't search them out. 6/10.

Do you think she's fake or cocky in her interviews? I feel she's maybe a little bit boring in interviews, but I generally find her harmless.

[–] sslssg (35179) 9 months ago

I find her really out of touch, a little cocky, and just clueless. Did you see her on Graham Norton where she said that her dad told her that she was being an asshole? I think a little bit of that still stuck with her. I don't really see it in her acting, so it's not affecting my rating of her.

Fair enough. I think her biggest flaw is that she married Chris Martin. I mean, has she heard his music?

9 out of 10, if only for her performance in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Also, for her catfight with Christina Applegate in View from the Top!

What happened to the director of Sky Captain? They gave him $100M and he disappeared after making it

the film tanked, and everyone picked on him about making an "all CGI film"... even though that is exactly what all the big films have become now. it literally paved the initial path.

I remember it tanking. I'm surprised they gave him all that money for a first film, but I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger success.

[–] 123Guy (7839) 9 months ago

I dont recall 100 million... that is blockbuster budget. I thought this was closer to 20 mill? not sure

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58587) 9 months ago

In the link below, he claims it's only $18 million. All the reports at the time said $100M.

I don't think he's telling the truth about the budget.

Positives: Shallow Hal, Shakespeare in Love

Everything else is a mediocre performance by her.
