Worst ACTOR in a Leading Role, 2005

Where on Earth is Hayden Christensen?  His performance as Anakin in Revenge of the Sith (as I call it, Revenge of the ****) was far worse than in the previous film.  He more than deserves a nomination, lest I finally lose my faith in justice in this world.

I'll be honest, Pitt wasn't bad in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I'm not really a fan of his ( I didn't think he was good in Troy). But he's good in several things. I liked him in True Romance ( I thought the three best performances were from Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, and Gary Oldman, though.). To tell you the truth I didn't think Slater was bad in that either. ( I know that's hard to fathom).

Rob Schneider has got to be the most unfunny actor in Hollywood right now.  The guy is just a black hole when it comes to any comedy he tries to star in.

just one actor: JOHNNY DEPP

We will be ridiculous if Tom Cruise wins, because everyone will know  it's not about bad acting, but sanity or insanity.

Cruise is great, as is Depp (yet annoying as Wonka) but, hell, if Cruise or Depp win, I'll just go away from here. That sucks!

While it is evident that Jamie Kennedy is no Jim
Carrey, it is also clear given Rob Schneider's utterly
lame performance in Deuce A-new-low that Rob
Schneider is somehow no Rob Schneider and that
is eminently worse. Schneider takes the Razz.

Well, I wasn't attacking your post personally, I was talking in a general way, so sorry if it sounded personal.

Uh... Alan Moore doesn't have any say on the sale of rights.  All of the movie rights for these various books he wrote are held by the publishing houses that published the books.

I'm sorry, but they are only being sold because the author agreed with that at first place and, in accordance with the basic legislation, received for those rights.So, if they are being adapted into movies, Moore knew at first that it could be made and agreed with that. If he is so against any change that everybody in the world knows Hollywood loves to do with any material, he should not agree in sell the rights or do what Frank Miller, for example, is doing, following the process of adaptation since start to finish and only allowing the project to be made with his approval. To bad mouth every project, refusing any participation (and he was approached by Vendetta producers, for example), sounds pretty incoherent to me. And I'm a fan of Moore's work, yes, but that attitude sounds anti-professional and this is my opinion.

You honestly think he'd let them make movies only to complain about them if he had the power to stop them?

Well, he sold the rights of them! The man isn't an idiot by any means so he knows a producer can make anything of his writting if he refuses to even talk about a project. It's very ingenuous to think that Moore is a Hollywood victim...far from that.

 

There were also raving reviews about how faithful Hitchhikers Guide was to the book... mostly written by people who hadn't read the book.  Early reviews don't mean Jack.

Maybe they don't mean jack at the end but early reviews for Vendetta are from fans of the original comic book and it's known that The Warchowski approached Moore about the project. They show respect for the material and Moore could at least wait to see the movie (a thing I don't even believe he does) to bad mouth the project.

It was HELL, I'll grant you that.  A good movie, hardly. Keannu can't be blamed for the writing or the direction but he gave a flat, unemotional performance even if you take the movie as a seperate entity from the books.

I'm not a fan of the comic. Tried to follow some material on the web and wasn't interested at all. But liked the movie. I consider the best of the year? No. But bad? Not even near. And Keanu gave a good performance for my taste. I was connected with the character and I thought his characteristics were quite fitting with the character I saw on the big screen. No big deal about him and in my book the man doesn't deserve to be in that list this year.

And I do not believe I said one word about Willy Wonka.

Like I said before, I was ranting in general, not directly to your post. But I read complaints against Depp's Wonka based on the original character. That's all.

There's also the simple fact that MORE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THOSE MOVIES, so more people are likely to vote for them.

 

Well, I don't get it. How many people actually saw The Mask 2? Why is the guy so front loaded? How many saw Stealth? Much more saw Into the Blue and Paul Walker isn't in that list! Much more saw Cruzade and Elizabethtown and Bloom got some of the worst reviews of the year and his name isn't there! So Cruise, Reeves and Depp are there only because it's more fun to put A-List names and not because they are worse than the others.

I don't even know who Paul Walker is... so yeah, I'm gonna vote for Keannu and Cruise because I saw Constantine (for free, thankfully) and got dragged to War of the Worlds.  And they stunk.  That's my opinion.  I'm stating it.

That's OK and I respect your opinion, but we have to agree that there are much more actors in movies much worse, with much worse works last year who deserved to be there and they aren't. And the excuse that those movies were seen by more people isn't fair, as we knows it's a poll for worst leading actor and not worst leading actor in the most seen movies of the year...

If you think they are good actors, fine.  But don't go harassing me or anyone else because we disagree with you.

Well, I guess you already understood my point and know I wasn't "harassing" your opinion. As you have the right (and everyone here) to post your's, I have mine.

 

Alan Moore is always pissed about adaptations of his movies, that's not news. IMO he should not sell the rights for them if he will be badmouthing every project that's made. And don't come here saying that he doesn't get money for them, because he gets.  And he wont have his name attached to V for Vendetta neither, despite that early reviews are raving about the movie and how much it's faithful to the comic.  And Constantine, despite the changes, was a hell of a good movie. Keanu can't be blamed because of the changes, it's utterly ridiculous! it's like to blame Depp because his Willy Wonka was like night and day if compated with the original character!

And someone really believes that Reeves, Depp and Cruise were worse in his movies than Paul Walker, Orlando Bloom, Ashton Kutcher, who are not even in that list, or Will Ferrel (in a bad, bad year), or Johnny Knoxville? Those 3 are only in that list because they are huge stars and some people can't live with that fact and try to attack them because of other motives and not because of their acting or projects. And because nominating huge stars The Razzies get so much more media than some C-list actor.  It's politics folks. Only that.
