How Jared Leto got cast as the Joker in _Suicide Squad_ is beyond me.
Hey can get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lists and content
@@mickiethompson4285 grow up, no one else asked about your issues 🤡
My favorite actor for the last 23 years would easily have to be Heath Ledger as the Joker! Ok, him and Joachin Phoenix also as the Joker!
Please do top 10 times My Little Pony Friendship is Magic & Equestria Girls tackled serious
RDJ in Dolittle is proof that no matter how talented an actor oh are, you still can’t polish a turd.
😭😭
a polished turd doesn’t play one of the most iconic characters and then wins an oscar in his newest movie
Murphy at norbit was amaizing.
Eddie Remayne in Jupiter Ascendung feels like a failed attempt to recreate the amazing performance of Gary Oldman as Zorg in Fifth Element.
Which is funny because it was a role that Oldman hated and did half-heartedly, yet it was still pretty great
Could do a list of actors who redeemed themselves after their worst movies
Brendan Fraser perhaps? Since he just won the Oscar
@@victorgustafsson9060 movie was garbage
@@mkulchar are you dumb it wasn't
I Think Travolta Is Irredeemable, No second comeback, I Think he can just retire (just like the Late Great Sean Connery Did) for making forgettable movies with his forgettable performances from the 2000s - Present.
I wish Mike Myers could be Redeemed after The Mike Myers Disaster of the Love Guru. Amsterdam was a Disaster and Myers Sucked at it! He was okay in Bohemian Rhapsody (which I thought this movie was okay and still better than his performance in Amsterdam)
This is a great idea for a top 10!
Watchmojo: “Machine Gun Kelly should stick to rapping 🤔” 22:39
Eminem: 🤭🙃
To be fair Tyler Perry can't be taken seriously, because you wouldn't see Alex Cross...you'd just see Madea. 🤷🏿♂️
No literally. I dont think i could ever take him serious
Madea says what?
Especially in some of the wigs he wears in his movies🤦🏾♂️
There is his performance in Gone Girl and Baxter Stockman in TMNT in my opinion
I watched it and that's literally all I thought whenever Matt Fox wasn't in the scene.
Jaden Smith After Earth...Proof Nepotism does not an acting career make. 🤦🏿♂️
Holy shit I almost forgot that movie existed
@@Jay-mr4xgwish I could do that.
His music 1000x better than his dads
@@austinzeagler2460 That's not saying much. Also no it isn't
@@B-Mag if i said 10x it wouldnt mean much but i said 1000 and you probably listen to nicki minaj
The issue with Jared Leto's Joker was that it very much felt like boy band member gone epicly wrong. To me, that sounds like a character I want to watch, but it's just not the Joker. The Joker is a symbol of something greater in society. He's the other side of the coin to Batman. If Batman is vengeance, the Joker is apathy. If Batman is uninhibited justice, then the Joker is uninhibited chaos.
Tom Holland, in Infinity War, "I don't want to go mr stark" had me in tears
My favorite performances were Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood and Charlize Theron in Monster. Both earned their Oscars.
Before we laugh at Madonna as an actress and her work in Swept Away, let’s remember she was the most memorable part of A League of Their Own. She was awesome in that movie.
And Dick Tracy and Evita.
I don’t know that I would call her the best thing about the movie, but she was good. I really enjoyed her performance in “Evita”.
I enjoyed Madonna in Evita.
Gosh it hurts to laugh at this list!
She was awesome in Dick Tracey too.
voice-over guy pronounced "free throws" like he's never watched a basketball game in his life lol
I definitely agree with the Last Airbender cast. I cringed throughout the whole movie😅
have to disagree with Jack and Jill though. Not his best, but also not his worse. Adam Sandler is probably my favorite actor and he's only had a few crash and burns (The Cobbler was awful, Uncut Gems was okay, and Hustle wasn't good), but I overall thought Jack and Jill was probably a 5.5 out of 10 for me.
One of the worst takes I've ever seen. Thank you for this
I’m not a Mariah Carey fan, but I would venture she redeemed herself in Precious 8 years later. She and Mo’Nique were both pretty great in roles that were WAY off brand for both.
Jennifer Lopez in Gigli swear to God that Turkey Gobble Gobble line sends a chill up my spine everytime I hear it. 🥶
Mariah Carey's Glitter performance is way worst than JLo.
@@DonnaOares she was good in precious
I find it weird
The Last Air Bender was indeed a disaster.
I keep seeing The Room guy and the more I see him the more I like the terrible acting. You're tearing me apart Lisa is awesomely bad.
the guy who played the son who was banished was not a bad actor in the last airbender
The haunting of sharon tate is just such an insult to the real sharon tate. Just like blonde with marilyn.
As bad as the performances of Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers were, at least they went to the effort of undergoing extensive hair and make-up, whereas Adam Sandler slapped on a dress and called it a day.
Honestly.. I like Norbit 😂
Gotta say, I'm kinda glad I hadn't heard of like 8 out of the ten most recent of these.
Norbit is a cult classic.
Leto was kinda robbed though. The movie was supposed to be dark and since bvs was panned for being dark they tried to lighten this movie up and it all failed.
I like the acting of the entire cast of Mrs. Doubtfire. If I had to narrow it down, though, it would, of course, be Robin Williams, and Sally Field.
Robin Williams was brilliant in Mrs Doubtfirevv
I just rewatched it again two days ago with the fam for the first time as an adult and holy crap man. I could not stop laughing the entire run
How dare you put Nic Cage on this list, he gets a free pass
Jared Leto wasn't even that bad of a Joker acting wise, the script that they gave him was just garbage
No. He sucked as him. That laugh was just absolute shite.
@@lupinvash3 That's a garbage reason to hate a performance
The thing with Leto's Joker is that it feels like The Joker is not intimidating/deep. Every interpretation of him is not going to be the same, but the fact that he's supposed to be the most feared/infamous criminal in Gotham City yet looks like a teenage boy who got in with the wrong crowd doesn't help. He's pretty much an afterthought in the movie
@@syria0110 Agreed there my dude 👌
Look at him in zjl he's even bad in that one he's just way to over the to
When you said, "the whole cast," for the last airbender, I DIED. 😆
Battlefield Earth should be used as a CIA torture technique. 24 hours of it on a loop.
Here are the actors that would’ve made it on this list but deserve to be mentioned.
Maddie Ziegler’s Performance as Music screams Oscar Bait. But in defense: at least she tried. I don’t hate her performance, I just feel bad for her I just can’t believe how she was sadly Wasted In her Performance and not even Sia’s Cameo can Save this 2021 Bomb/Oscar Bait Disaster.
Every Cast Member who were involved in Doing Movie 43
Dan Aykroyd sucks as Yogi Bear. I think Nicholas Cage would’ve been a better Yogi Bear than Dan Aykroyd himself. Dan Aykroyd was just Wasted In his forgettable performance.
Tom Green is Terrible in Freddy Got Fingered!!
Bill Murray was wasted as the ugly CGI Abomination of a lazy fat Lasagna eating orange colored tabby named Garfield and At Least he Regretted playing this character.
Tom Hanks is Utterly Wasted as The Dutch Con Artist (Colonel Tom Parker with his Weird and Laughable Dutch Accent) from Elvis, and also Utterly Wasted as Gepetto In Pinocchio with his silly half-assed crazy Italian accent!!
Dude your BRUTAL thank god the title says every year.
Battleship Earth tells you why you should avoid Scientology
It's sweet that people actually think actors put their heart's into projects. Some do yes, but more often than not actors there for the same reason most of us go to work, for the paycheck. Sure their paychecks have more zeros in the number but it's a paycheck nonetheless and they definitely wouldn't be there if they weren't getting paid.
MGK needs to stay away from rap too. He got his ass handed to him with Killshot.
all time fave acting role gotta be al pacino in the godfather ll ,a master class in subtle acting and building a character
I read a lot of the Alex Cross books and i loved Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider but when I saw that Tyler Perry was playing him i already knew the movie was going to be terrible
It was originally supposed to be Idris Elba
Leonardo DiCaprio in 'what's Eating Gilbert Grape'one of the best performances.
Yep. He went full r-tard.
I actually felt sorry for him (his character).
For real! 💯
Oscar nominated
So, what was eating Gilbert 🤔
@@First-Last_name watch it and find out it's also got Johnny Depp
While I think the performance would have been bad regardless, Leto's "Joker" certainly wasn't helped by that cringe-worthy, abysmal design, which screams desperation, rather than any sense of intimidation.
I think Jamie Kennedy done really great in son of the mask, obviously no one could live up to Carreys mask
Good Actors Who Wasted Their Role in Bad Movies
Baker cant stick to rapping either.... he decided to diss the king of disses and ended his career
I'm happy Justin was able to redeem himself after DragonBall with his run on Shameless. I may not have seen either the show or the movie, but anyone able to come back from a movie that bad is a good actor in my eyes.
@@mickiethompson4285 Nobody cares
first thing id seen him in was War of the Worlds, pretty bland in that too
To be fair to Justin, the movie was completely broken, top to bottom. Has the likes of Chow Yun-Fat and James Marsters, yet not even they were good. Fox owned the movie license, but had zero knowledge and not even care for the Dragon Ball property; they made it as quickly and cheaply as possible, using a script from someone who had never seen anything DB. Can't fault the actors for putting out subpar material when the whole production was cynical and lazy.
I feel like if there were honorable mentions, the lead character in Malignant would be there because THAT was bad 😅
What’s so ironic is that Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” (2003) was later satirized by James Franco in “The Disaster Artist” back in 2017. The former got a measly 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the later got 91% and won a Golden Globe Award. Hysterical! 😂
hate to break it to ya but the dude who plays the guy thats after aang was on slumdog millionaire, and the dude who's in aangs party is jackson rathbone and he's acted several times in the twilight saga soooo yeah XD
i still feel the love guru gets far to much hate and in comparison to any of the movies in this list atleast some of the love guru does what its supposed to do and gives you a cheeky giggle
I know that Tommy Wiseau is awful, we all know he is awful, it has reached beyond the saturation point and now the moment his face appears I exit the video because I am just sick of hearing the same couple of lines of awful dialog. Remove Tommy Wiseau from all future lists except as a passing "and we won't even go into The Room because its too awful" and look at any of the multitude of other crappy performances from that year.
2000: John Travolta in Battlefield Earth
2001: Mariah Carey in Glitter
2002: Madonna in Swept Away
2003: Tommy Wiseau in The Room
2004: Colin Farrell in Alexander
2005: Jamie Kennedy in Son of the Mask
2006: Nicolas Cage in The Wicker Man
2007: Eddie Murphy in Norbit
2008: Mike Myers in The Love Guru
2009: Justin Chatwin in Dragonball Evolution
2010: The Whole Cast in The Last Airbender
2011: Adam Sandler in Jack and Jill
2012: Tyler Perry in Alex Cross
2013: James Deen in The Canyons
2014: Kirk Cameron in Saving Christmas
2015: Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending
2016: Jared Leto in Suicide Squad
2017: Tom Cruise in The Mummy
2018: John Travolta in Gotti
2019: Hilary Duff in The Haunting of Sharon Tate
2020: Robert Downey Jr. in Dolittle
2021: LeBron James in Space Jam: A New Legacy
2022: Machine Gun Kelly in Good Mourning
I did the same 😅
2007 and 08 are Donkey and Shrek
@@Dupontman627 very good one 😁👍
Lol me and my lady were extremely excited for space jam 2 be it we both grew up on the original when we were kids. Needless to say lebron James one of my favourite ball players ruined what would’ve been a great date. LOL don cheadle couldn’t even save it. All bad.
Love that MJ is a better actor. The oj space jam is iconic. I don't think even if they did a sequel with MJ it would be passable. Sometimes you need to leave things alone and not try to cash in. Same goes for the mummy no one wanted Tom cruise
Crazy coincidence, MJ is also a better Basketball player too.
MJ = 179 games, 33.4 PPG
LJ = 266 games, 27.67 PPG
Michael Jordan’s achievements in the game are unmatchable. He was also on the NBA’s 75-anniversary team. Both a master at attacking and defense, Micheal played the shooting guard’s position. He is undeniably one of the best basketball players the world has ever witnessed.
I had to put down some statistics because of some random people might get upset, anyways you can Google any list online and MJ will 99% of the time be #1
Thats just not even true lol MJ was a MUCH worse actor, the first script was just far better lol you just watched space jam as a child and don't have perspective on his performance. MJ is definitely the better basketball player between the two though lol
So in 2017 you guys watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and was like Tom Cruz did a worst job acting than this lol
I agree. I don't think Tom Cruise was bad at all. Not his best, but not terrible, either.
There’s a lot on here I don’t agree with but this is the channel’s list from their opinion so ima jus move right along 😂
I've no idea who James Deen is and never heard of The Canyons, and I'm sure hardly anyone else has either
With that said, most of us know about the stellar (Cough! Cough!) performance of Jaden Smith in After Earth.
With his use of an English accent that comes and goes and his laughably wooden performance in a movie that his daddy, Will "Slappy" Smith, was nearly bad as his co-star, this 2013 M. Night Shame-alan mess is a strong contender for one of the worst films ever made. But we all know that award goes to Battlefield Earth.
Thank God neither son nor dad is welcome in Hollywood anymore
I’ve always actually loved Alexander and even Colin’s performance for some reason, I think it’s because I find the overly dramatic and theatrical acting reminiscent of plays of Greek tragedies which I think fits the movie.
For 2014 I'd say Johnny depp in tusk, his worst role ever
if you think MGK's acting is bad? watch his performance in the motley cru biopic XD its amazing! XD
No one disrespects Norbit
I agree with the picks, but I'm still amazed that Paris Hilton managed to dodge the list...
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in BvS was much worse than Jared Leto as Joker in Suicide Squad.
You mistake bad movies with bad acting. Collin Farrel, John Travolta and Tom Cruise didn't do bad roles just cause the movie was bad. In fact I didn't even think The Mummy was bad at all
Where's Steven Seagal? Every movie he's in has him doing Aikido, running like a 7 yr old school girl, and mumbling incoherently.
I remember starting to watch The Love Guru and stopping after about 10 minutes. It was unwatchable
My favorite acting performances are,
1.Ben Affleck As Batman
2.Robert Pattinson As Batman
3.Rebecca Romijn As The Beautiful Blue X MEN Character Mystique❤
7:55 norbit was HILARIOUS! Eff yall
Dragon Ball Evolution and The Last Airbender are one in the same, rushed, shameless, and unentertaining.
Cage was trying to be all, "What's in the box?!!??"
His acting was unintentionally funny.
How dare you say Catwoman was so bad it's good.
Adam sandler as Jack and jill isn't particularly "Bad acting". It's just annoying and obnoxious acting. He did a good job being annoying and obnoxious.
really did my boi mgk like that lmao, fair enough that movie is questionable, nerve and the dirt though, incredible
what about Jared Leto's Morbius.
Most of these were bad MOVIES instead of bad ACTING
I think the movie titles speak for themselves.
I was waiting for The Avatar movie lmao
22:34 if sticking to rapping is the better option for Machine Gun Kelly, he must be one of the worst actors to ever live
I don’t know what mojo is smoking but Norbit is a funny ass movie lol
2:04 the ZOLTAN keyboard
Tommy Wiseau is brilliant, the Room is my all time favorite movie!
Leto was painful to watch
The hood loves Norbit lmao
A crap movie can also produce a crap performance by the actor. Compare Jared Leto as joker and Jared Leto as Rayon in Dallas Buyer’s Club.
Alden Ehenrich in Solo a Star Wars Story.
It wasn't all that bad, but it's far from Harrison Ford.
Jamie Kennedy was really good in the scream franchise (until he died), but The Mask was just god awful. They should have just stuck with Jim Carey's performance. It was a super goofy movie to watch but at least entertaining but the second one, absolutely terrible and disappointing.
Russell Crowe was so bad in the mummy as well
Wait I actually really enjoyed Norbit to the point to the point I had to make sure those unaware watched it.
I don’t care I loved norbit I shouldn’t of been watching it as a kid but it was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen. Maybe in retrospective it’s highly offensive and wouldn’t fly in today’s standards but of the time it was hilarious. Humour was highly offensive at the time. That’s just how it was.
Mojo is the worst....shows you 2 seconds of the "clip in question" then talks about it for 15 minutes.
Lebron was a decent actor, the script was just horrible which is what almost every critic said about the movie. He was far better than jordan was as an actor lol MJ might be the worst athlete actor in history and thats saying something. Still, hes the goat on the court lol
Some of these were not the actor but the movie and some of these movies were comedies which were so bad they were good
Nicola Peltz's nose OMG🤣🤣🤣🤣
We haven't seen the full of Jared Leto's Joker. #ReleasetheAyerCut
IMO: Jackson Rathbone didn't do a bad job at portraying Sokka in "The Last Airbender.
And I will always adore Jared Leto as the Joker. Besides Harley and Deadshot he is my favorite character in the movie.
I think it’s fair to say you’re more than a little biased
I mean Sokka is serious and a comic relief and Jackson rathbone didn’t do a great job portraying that. The acting of the whole cast in that movie was awful. I usually don’t hate on adaptations that much but just like when I saw DBE and then watched the real DBZ I was literally like why was this made and I genuinely liked DBE for a minute but the real deal is way better. ATLA is way better than TLA. The acting needed much work.
dev patel was still great in that weird avatar movie.
You guys Made Machwmquen guy Kelly famous
Madonna's acting was never good. She knew that in the 90's
i think Adam Sandler shouldn;t be on this list, the whole award should be named after him
How’d you miss from Justin to Kelly?
I love me some Jared Leto slander
So I’ve noticed that they use the same texts for people in different videos.
