No longer the IT girl and proved to be a box office flop


She had a lot of hype a few years ago as the next best thing in Hollywood and her acting talent was lauded as great. But fast forward a few years, multiple movie flops both critically and commercially and she no longer feels like a big deal anymore. She just didn't live up to the hype and now you have other actresses passing her by.

With no Hunger Games and soon no X-Men to carry her career, I expect her to slowly fade in popularity and she is already pushing 30 so she'll soon lose the young hot chick thing too.

You can’t lose what you don’t have. She has never been hot, only pretty. Compare her Mystique to Rebecca Romaijn’s Mystique. Romaijn is pretty AND HOT.

reply

Yes Rebecca was on a completely different level as Mystique. Way better than Jennifer.

I remember never really looking at Jlaw twice before The Fappening pictures...

Never thought she was that pretty or hot.

then I saw the The Fappening Pics and I was Blown away by 2 things.

1st Jlaw was insanely hot

and 2nd. I couldnt believe how Disgusting Kate Upton Tits were.

to this day ...I cant think of another example where my Opinion/Taste changed so much on The Hottness of a girl.

I thought Upton was FIRE for years before the Fappening Pics....but upon seeing Her Disgusting tits.

I swear, she as a whole now completely turns me off....Never have I went from Thinking a girl is so hot to not in the least being attractive to her.....the only other example I can think of is Ronda Rousey.

for the first year of her MMA career I thought she was hot.

but then, and this is the only time I've ever had a Girls attitude and Personally actually Literally Make me not find her attractive or hot anymore.

as for Jlaw...I find her incredibly hot now after The Fappening Pics.

She is a decent actress, the studios overly hyped her up, it is called overexposure, same thing happened to Megan Fox. People have very short attention spans these days.

reply

She's a solid actress and will be around for a while.

reply

She was definitely over exposed, as she was the last star Harvey Weinstein pushed before his downfall. Without him I doubt she would have won that Oscar, undeserved for me imo. She took some risks with films like Mother! and Red Sparrow that didn't pay off. Nothing she's done quite has reached the heights of her performance in Winter Bone. But she badly needs a hit, that isn't a X-Men film, to prove she's the A Lister Star the Studio think she is.

Solid 5 out 10.

reply

The problem is, she made a large part of her base angry by saying rude and insensitive things about the majority of people in this country, so they went and bombarded her next movies with bad reviews in retaliation. I hope she likes being a short-lived celebrity. They're among the sadder cases.

reply

I liked American hustle. She was good in it too.

But that was a few years ago.

reply

She was also very good in Silver Linings Playbook, Joy, and Hunger Games.

I think the only role where I didn’t like her was Mystique in XMen. She seemed bored.
