Probably the most annoying/boring actress that is taken seriously

I watched the first RE film when I was about 13 and in my naive youth, I thought it was good at the time. I also thought Milla was awesome as well! I also loved the second RE film and when UltraViolet was announced I was ecstatic. Between RE2 and RE3, I matured a bit, and after the ultimate disappointment that was ultraviolet, my love for Milla massively diminished. Now having recently watched RE4, I have lost all respect for her.

in summary:
RE franchise is 8 hours of Milla looking angry, accompanied by her bad acting.
5th Element is 2 hours of Milla looking angry and acting thick, accompanied by her bad acting
ultraviolet is 2 hours of Milla looking angry, accompanied by her bad acting
(haven't seen .45 but I imagine it will be quite similar)
Not looking forward to her role in 3 Muskateers

Yes I know this is just a rant but I am interested in other peoples opinions, especially why she's been so successful in film when she's not really very good at acting???

Typical. You rate her skills on movies where there is no acting skill needed, despide the Fifth Element where she was great. If you want to see a good example of her acting skills go see The Million Dollar Hotel from Wim Wenders, Dummy, .45 or Dirty Girl, but I am somehow sure those movies are not your kind.

You couldn't be more wrong. Milla is far from a kick-ass action heroine in that movie. She plays a complex character extremely well. Also her work in Dummy, No Good Deed, The Fourth Kind etc prove that she has acting chops.

I find her choices in movies disappointing, mostly because I'd agree she could be making far better movies if she chose to. She has the acting chops but it's unfortunate she doesn't display them in lieu of making dumb action flicks with the father of her children.

She needs to make some sort of mob family epic with Jet Li or something if she really wants to keep making action flicks but still grow as an actress instead of phoning it in with yet another forgettable RE film...

She does good movies that only few people see, and bad ones that already made her very rich...
It is very simple.
Yes, i watched her much more before 2002, but she and her husband discover a goldmine in the crap "Resident Evil" franchise. That's it.
She is a good actress, one of the few that are capable of doing action scenes without make me laugh or angry (like Angelina Jolie), very expressive, very beautiful, and that could uses black, brown, red or blond hair and always look natural, what give her versatility.
The only bad thing about her is that people love her husband's movies. So, the movies made money and they keep the artistic partnership of doing flicks about martial arts, quick camera, extremely hot girl and crap scripts...
