For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.

Yeah, Will Ferrell. I liked him in Zoolander, though.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Justin Long. I can't stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:

  1. Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
  2. Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.

Bradley Cooper, he just seems like a smug douche.

Unpopular opinion but Harrison Ford is a terrible actor. He's literally just a guy that shows up on set and reads some lines. Zero range, zero character.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmmm. Yeah. I would say most of his characters feel the same. But I love Indiana Jones

Will Ferrell. He might be the most unpopular actor here? Quite a few mentions.

He’s the epitome of “cringe comedy”, the comedy where the goal is to make actions and situations more and more outrageously uncomfortable as the story progresses. Can’t stand that style. I really don’t find him funny at all and avoid his films. Exception being Elf, and the only reason why is that the script doesn’t allow him much room to act the way he usually does. He has to expend effort.

OMG! That's exactly the way I feel. Stranger than Fiction is a masterpiece.

I don't care for Will Ferrell but I don't hate him as a person and that's what I thought you meant.

I can't believe you used this example. Amazing!!!

Pedro Pascal. I don't think I've even seen anything he's in, and yet I feel I've been overexposed to his face. Nothing personal.

Robert Downey Jr. because he just has a smug aura and I don't like Marvel movies. I'm sure he's cool irl. Or not, idk.

Chris Pratt. Too much, go away.

Jason Momoa because he's too perfect and I'll never be him.

The Rock because he's annoying and in everything. I liked him more as a wrestler.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I liked Chris Pratt until he was in some ad hawking a prayer app. Now I can't watch his movies.

Meryl Streep sets my teeth on edge for some reason. She's hailed as a fantastic actress, but she always comes across as plastic and fake to me.

I did like Fantastic Mr. Fox, but she only did a voice for it.

Basically all of them. At this point I feel like all celebrities are vapid shitty people. I don't want to participate in para social relationships.

Seeing Matthew Broderick in anything still ruins the entire show for me after hearing about how he killed 2 women in Ireland and just got away with it.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

A young kid in an accident that killed two people. No alcohol involved. Even the woman's brother has forgiven him. I think you need to chill.

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Absolutely Will Ferrel!
