10 extraordinary films starring widely criticized actors

You’ll agree that acting can seem like the most magical job in the world, as long as you’re really good at it. Actors like Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo Dicaprio they have become synonymous with talent and charisma. However, words like Adam Sandlers something else is attributed … However, remember that making a film is an extremely collaborative process and a low-quality performance is rarely the responsibility of a single person. That’s why a “flawless” actor often proves the opposite: he offers a truly ambitious job.

Arnold Schwarzenegger – “The Terminator” (“The Terminator”)

Phenomenal acting or phenomenal casting? Have no idea! But Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance in “Terminators“and its gratifying sequel, T2, is a jaw-dropping work. It’s hard to imagine anyone else being able to conjure up the strange robotic horror. Frankly, this was the role he was born for.

Adams Sandlers – “Uncut Gems”

For years, Adam Sandler has been known for bad comedies, such as Big Daddy and The Ridiculous 6. But from time to time Sandler shows his true potential in films like “Punch Drunk Love”, “The Meyerowitz Stories” or, most importantly, in the American crime thriller “Uncut Games”. The film received critical acclaim, most notably for Sandler’s performance, which several critics have described as the best of his career.

Chris Pratt – “Money Ball”

After finding fame as one of Parks and Recreation’s funniest and cutest characters on TV, Chris Pratt found himself unable to translate that charm to the big screen. For reasons unknown, his acting has become a phenomenon of overt dislike and sometimes cruel ridicule on social media. But in the 2011 American biopic sports drama “Moneyball,” he is a completely different being: reserved, convincing, likeable.

Jennifer Lopez – “Cheaters”

For most of her career, Jennifer Lopez has been haunted by flops like “Gigli” and “Jersey Girl”. But she has always been a very talented performer. Here, she was shown in the 2019 comedy-drama crime film “Scammers,” in which Lopez gave a fascinating performance as a strip dancer. Good job!

Ryan Reynolds – “The Adventure”

Of course, there are many people who don’t find Ryan Reynolds annoying because there’s no other explanation for why so many of his films are hits. So, people watch movies of him! However, many critics believe that Reynolds and his insane, self-satisfied on-screen character actually embody the worst traits of the modern Hollywood star. This is exactly what Reynolds looks like on screen in the 2008 film “Adventureland”: flawed, subtly (but deliberately) obnoxious … he’s good!

Vanessa Hudgens – “Tick, Tick … Boom!”

Like many child actors, Hudgens has struggled for years to prove she has nothing to do with the popular but criticized “High School Musical” franchise, after all. In recent years she has also begun to act very actively in various films, despite all the prejudices. For example, in the 2020 musical “Tick, Tick … Boom!” she showed her musical and acting talents.

Sylvester Stallone – “Rocky” (“Rocky”)

No one is quite sure if Stallone qualifies as a critically criticized actor. He is truly an action movie icon, a remarkably successful actor. But almost all of this acclaim comes from a performance: like Rocky Balboa. His later filmography is characterized by low to mediocre work, which makes his performance seem groundbreaking in Rocky with each passing year.

Nicolas Cage – “Raising Arizona” (“Raising Arizona”)

Even though he won an Oscar, Nicolas Cage is often cited as an example of an actor who doesn’t know how to do it again. Loud and nonsensical roles in films like “The Wicker Man” and “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” have left him a laughingstock. But he has many good works to his credit, including the movie “Raising Arizona”. It was the funniest role of Cage!

Lindsay Lohan – “Bad Girls”

Partly due to the tabloid’s obsession with her private life, Lindsay Lohan had to struggle a lot to be seen as an actress. However, she has already more than demonstrated her talent by playing the lead role in the comedy “Mean Girls”. As high schooler Cady Heron, Lohan delivers a flawless performance.

Harry Styles – “Dunkerque” (“Dunkerque”)

His acting career is still in its infancy, but “A direction” star Harry Styles He has already earned a reputation as a somewhat ruthless screen star, largely thanks to his portrayals in the scandal-ridden Don’t Worry Darling and the upcoming My Policeman. However, looking back at his role in Dunkirk, he is an outstanding and compelling actor.
