Timberlake reaches the upper echelon

It usually takes much longer than this, but after Edison Force Justin Timberlake has reached the top of the acting mountain. He is already worthy of joining the following list of the WORST "actors" on the planet Earth. Hell, it's not just Earth, it's the entire universe.

KEANU REEVES
VIN DIESEL
PAUL WALKER
BEN AFFLECK
CHRIS KLEIN (THE NEXT KEANU REEVES)
TYRESE GIBSON

I know. I know. There are many many more than this. But, these guys are the absolute cream of the crop. Please feel free to submit other horrific "actors". I'm sure there are many others who deserve our kudos who I have overlooked. Who else deserves to be in this HALL OF "FAME"?

Actually

KEANU REEVES was good in Bill and Ted movies, The Matrix, Point Break and Speed
VIN DIESEL was good in Saving Private Ryan and Pitch Black
PAUL WALKER was good in Running Scared
BEN AFFLECK was good in Dazed and Confused, Good Will Hunting, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Changing Lanes and he was the bomb in Phantoms

CHRIS KLEIN (THE NEXT KEANU REEVES) Well these two
TYRESE GIBSON suck ass!! (even though I almost liked Klein
in Just Friends)

Adam Sandler is at least funny makes decent enough films

I think Timberlake was ok for his first movie, but his acting wasn't exactly spectacular

in justin's defence - i thought he'd be much worse. and he looks HOT in the movie. the fact that piper perabo's character seemed to get turned on by words really disturbed me

*...you complete me...*

Hmm, that's some mighty good gin-n'-tonic, would you mix me up another...

jt is the worst actor i have ever seen!!
and i have seen allot of actors,

i have no idea wtf he is doing with his face,
when he is supose to look scared he looks angry
when he supose to look sad he looks angry
and sometimes he does things with his *beep* face
where i have no idea what he is doing.

this movie sucks, morgan freeman and ll cool j did a good job i think.
but this is just another typical action movie
where there are hundred of them.

This is the worst thread ever, and you're all a bunch of *beep* retards.

Hollywood is full of dreadful actors and actresses and yes I think JT has joined them

[–] jmuntmootcourt 18 years ago

All of those actors that everyone has listed are known as "bad actors" because most of their "bad" roles have come in big movies that everybody saw.

Boiler Room and Find Me Guilty showed that Diesel can actually act.

Affleck was also good in Boiler Room as well as Hollywoodland.

I haven't seen Running Scared, so I have yet to see a good Walker movie.

Reeves had his moments.

Timberlake is hilarious on SNL. Ryan Reynolds and Adam Sandler are also pretty much "comedy only" guys, though Spanglish was actually a good role for Sandler.

Philippe is another one I have yet to see act well.

I think the big thing here is that many "actors" are only talented in one genre, and also have no real training, so they should either become professionally trained or NOT try to diversify if they have no talent in "real" acting, i.e. being able to play any sort of character.

Me, I'll mostly stick with Christian Bale, Edward Norton, Kevin Spacey, etc.

Oh, and...rock started as "black music" too. Think you guys missed that in your little side-debate.

[–] jmuntmootcourt 18 years ago

Okay, we bought it...JT got slapped around like a little bitch (perfect part for him), but otherwise, though EXTREMELY predictable, it was actually decent. about a 5/10, worth watching drunk once in a while for fun.

[–] appc 18 years ago

I believe Justin Timberlake is just decent in Edison.

Now, if you ask for the worst actors ever, I don't know if a category is applicable here, but I believe the Porn actors are the worst ever, no brains at all!!!!! Even their female partners show more brains.

Soooo, to all you immature people out there who say Justin has no talent at all, why do you think he's so rich? Why do you think he's getting more roles in movies? If he was rubbish at acting like all you 'Justin haters' say he is, then he wouldn't have a leading role in 'Alpha Dog' or a part in 'Shrek 3' would he? Think about it and wake up and smell the coffee.
