Overrated - Mark Wahlberg
Underrated - Geoffrey Rush: He had the best performance in "the king's speech", too bad he didn't win an oscar for it.


I hate Wahlberg, I can't stand watching him, yet everyone loves him. And Rush: YES! Such a good actor, Captain Barbossa and he was in 'Elizabeth' and 'Finding Nemo.' :tongue:

I came on here to say exactly that :')

Far too many of my friends don't know who Alan Rickman is either, I always just end up sighing and saying 'Snape.'

Overrated - Jason Statham

He just brings out the same **** over and over


My mum absolutely loves him but all he does is kick people in the head and drive fast cars, I wouldn't call it acting lol.

Underrated: Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman, such diverse actors who have played so many diffferent roles, especially Oldman who many people don't acknowledge, I say Gary Oldman and my friends are like: "Who?" and only recognise him by face when I saw who he has played.

Overrated: Tom Cruise, he's done good films in the past, but now it seems he just churns out pointless hollywood action films, Knight and Day was terrible.


Definitely agree with you on Gary Oldman, can't wait for his performance in 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'. Loads of people don't recognise the name because he generally tries to shy away from public life.
underrated - Ryan O'neal


really moving :adore:

Two most overrated actresses IMO are Megan Fox and Kristen Stewart.
Megan is beautiful but not that great an actress, Kristen pulls THE most annoying faces in Twilight and constantly sighs/huffs and puffs. Annoying ****.
Emily Watson is very underrated. Watch Breaking the Waves people! She was a force of nature in that film.

Annette Bening is also underrated I feel.

I really like Hilary S**** but I think she's a bit overrated. She definitely deserved her first Oscar for Boys Don't Cry but she didn't deserve it for Million Dollar Baby. Kate Winslet should have won for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!

lol it won't let me put Hilary's last name because it thinks I'm saying ****! :tongue:

In the way I said. In the way that a lot of people only know him from 'The Dark Knight' and people haven't seen some of his best films, like 'Lords of Dogtown'.

Get the **** out of here.
Godie Hawn is amazing! But today's generation don't appreciate her that much :'(
I think Jospeh Gordon-Levitt is really talented and doesn't get enough praise.

Nicolas Cage is a joke :|

Zooey Deschanel is a bit over-rated as an actress IMO but she seems lovely
