How about Scarlett Johanson??

Other then a tight killer body, a face and lips to die for, what has she really done?? Really?

The Avengers? Matchpoint? Lucy? Her?

wait, wait...

The Island with Ewan McGregor!!! (That really sucked)

She did basically jump on to the scene as a young actor and had to spend a whole movie with Bill Murray and not look like a liability. That counts for something.

She's fine. I actually liked her in both Lucy and "Her" . And her performance in the Avengers is "awe-inspiring." ;)

World War Z might make my most overrated movie of all time list. Ugh
i haven't met anybody who thought it was good, and it's under 70% on RT, which counts a 2 out of 4 as a "favorable" review.

I think Hollywood pretty quickly recognized her as a male fantasy and instead of making her a deep character, they point out the limits to the fantasy pretty quickly as she ends up an AI or an assassin or an AI assassin.

I think she is like the female Brad Pitt. There is some range there but nobody gets past the looks so its kinda moot. The most 'different' thing I've seen her in was Hail, Caesar and it was only like 5 minutes of the movie.

I can't think of a worse movie I've seen in the past 10 years.

I guess in terms of expectations not being met? Because I can list 100 films that are waaaaaay worse in that time frame.

Thats part of it. Wasting source material, acting talent, not really ever justifying its need to exist as a movie, not even trying to even be remotely plausible. Just a bunch of set pieces and apocalypse pron but without all of the things that make the apocalypse compelling.

Its the zombie movie equivalent of The Whole Ten Yards or Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

I don't think James Franco is a bad actor, he just met Seth Rogan.

He met Rogen when he was like 20 lol.

But Franco is bad at all. He just does 1 billion different things and doesn't care to just focus on big roles and ends up doing shitty movies for his weird passion projects.

Mark Ruffalo has been in a lot of good movies and had some really good parts but...meh.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Meh
Hayden Panettierre sucked in Heroes.

Idk how JGL could ever be meh.

Can't think of 1 role he was truly bad in. Almost always nails it.

Exactly. It wouldn't be an issue for most, but the fact that he's huge is an integral part of the character. Then they went and cast a garden gnome to play him.
Was Rock ever in discussion for the role, or was this Cruises baby from day 1?
