Mosr Overrated and Underrated actors

[Big Screen Fan]

Every time I see Denise Richards try to smile her way through a script, I want to puke.

I think, on the otherhand, we should see more of Breckin Meyer.

Who makes you puke, no matter what the role?

And who would it please you to see more of?

Awesome choice. Very underrated actor.

I would love to see Julia Stiles in a lot more movies.

Val Kilmer and Freddie Prinze Jr. make me want to puke no matter what role they play.

I think Nicolas Cage is overrated, and so is Val Kilmer and Catherine Zeta-Jones(although she doesn't make me puke)

Underrated is Steve Zahn, who I haven't really seen him in a lot.
Also underrated are Peter Stormare, Steve Buscemi and Chris Klein(who was awesome in Election.

And Jason Lee, though he seems to be in more and more projects nowadays.

In my opinion,some overrtated actors/actresses are great, but get to much attention for what they do whether they are great in one kinda role, or have had one big box office hit. They get more praise then they really deserve. This takes attention away from the great roles of underrated actors/actresses , and don't compare to the talents of those who are un-appreciated.


Overrated

Vin Disel (XXX wasn't close to a Bond film, and the cars made
FandF a hit, not him. Ask any teenager since the import
scene in the rage in North America. Showed great
potential in Boiler Room and Saving Private Ryan.
I'm wondering why he's directing it all to crap like xxx)
Eddie Murphy (Bomb, after bomb he keeps going. I miss the old
Eddie from back in the day. He's proven he can
draw in a crowd for laughs, but his humor is nothing
new or revamped)
Ben Affleck (Getting better with certain roles, but not up to the
level that everyone praises him at)
Josh Harnett (Like Brad Pitt back in the day, he 's getting by on
his looks, except Brad could still act back then)
Freddie Prinze (Only other role he played was some poor
attempt at a young thug in the god-awful 'Money Kings')
Sandra Bullock (Can't shake off her "nice" image no matter what
role she takes, cause it's her romantic comedy films that
she provides good results)
Jackie Chan (I love the crazy ass stunts, but each movie is
basically the same as any other before. He just has a
different character name, in a different place, in a
different time of era. The nice guy who wants no
trouble, but finds his own way out of it)
Mark Wahlberg (See Affleck)
Meg Ryan (I thought she was great in Courage under fire, but
she's the same in Bullock's case)
Jet Li (I love the guy, but hasn't proven him to hollywood
standards. He's shown that he can kick the shit out of the
French police, two different gangs, and even himself.
Whether he can act in hollywood or not, is still up in the
air)
Jenifer Love Hewitt (I honestly never found her good in any flick
I saw her in, so I'm surprised she's still getting
roles)


Underrated

Don Cheadle (Best supporting actor in a lot of films. Deserves his
own starring role, as well as some credit)
John Cusack (Never saw a disappointing preformance from him)
Matt Damon (Somehow overshadowed by Affleck. Very diverse
in his roles, never disappointed in his preformances
He's everything Ben isn't. And he has everything
that Ben's got)
Luis Guzman (Given great supporting roles, and can add comic
relief to a serious cast. Even in comic form, he can
handle the character differently)
Racheal Leigh Cook (No one knows how good she can be, cause
now she does indies most of the time. From
what I saw, she portrayed her characters,
scandelous or amnesic, with convincing appeal )
Helen Bonham Carter (Believable in any role, and always over-
looked)
William Dafoe (From a weird, somewhat, homosexual fbi agent,
to a vampire,easy or extreme role, he can play any
of these. And he has)
Frances McNormand (In comparison to Julia Roberts, the only thing
Ms. Roberts has better than Ms.McNormand is her
salary. Talent- wise it's the other way around.
Great performances, earned the critics praise, but
not the publics. Not well know cause she's so
her movies aren't exactly the epic/blockbuster types
The most underrated actress)
Steve Buschemi (See Cheadle)
Marisa Tomei (See McNormand. She's just more well known)
Chow Yun Fat (Sure he looks good killing 200 mobster with two
berettas, but the Courruptor shows how charming and
cool he can be, and Anna and the King further proved
his acting talents by taking a well known role, and even
in comparison to the past actors of the role, he more
than stands tall on his own merits. Best asian actor to
make his jump from Asia to America)
