Worst Acting you have seen in a movie?

[Martino Knockavelli]

The film is obviously parody and satire, but the novel is not. Heinlein's personal politics were a little more nuanced than some allow, but the book is full of unironic gun-toting square jawed heroes doing Sacrifice and Service and Discipline and all that good stuff, blasting big Commie beasties. It was written pre-Vietnam, which is some sort of a defence, but it's infatuated with war and the military and jingoism to a degree that'd make John Wayne blush. The primary target of the film's satire is its own source material, if anything.

I'm watching one of the Harry Shitpot films and this must be up there. It's like watching a CGId school play.

When I saw this thread my first thought was of Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone. CBBC drama acting at it's best/worst.

I can see past that with that film just because it flies in and is pretty magical itself. Probably the best in the whole series.

Brenda Blethyn in any Mike Leigh film she's appeared in.

You can't be serious, especially about her heartbreaking performance in Secrets & Lies, which along with The Lion In Winter and the 1928 Passion Of Joan Of Arc, remains right up there with the best acting I have seen in cinema.

Im serious. She's a serial overactor. Turns her characters into parodies. Especially in Secrets & Lies.

I haven't seen her in other Mike Leigh films, and I want to work my way through most of them one of these days, but I thought her performance was exceptional in Secrets & Lies, though Spall stole the show as always.

Russell Crowe in Robin Hood, he looked bored gthroughout and fuck knows what that accent was meant to be.

Resident Evil 1 acting is perfect. In every way. Barry Burton is a god amongst men. And loved that Mortal Kombat Annihilation film when I was a kid
