For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.

I have two.

I do not like Will Ferrell in his typical roles at all and I’m glad I’m not the only one saying this anymore. Everyone quotes Anchorman and I just did not enjoy that at all, or Elf, Step Brothers, or any of his “everyone loves” movies. Stranger Than Fiction, however, was amazing and I wish he would do more roles like that.

Tom Cruise is my other one. I find his acting very bland and unappealing. Mission Impossible has put me to sleep every time I try to watch it. I am not a big fan of Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, or any of them. My Cruise exceptions are Tropic Thunder which I wish he did more comedic roles like that and Minority Report, not a perfect movie but it was the very first DVD I ever owned so there is a bit of nostalgia tied to it.

John C Riley is an uncomfortable mess in everything he's in and I cannot stand it. The exception is everything he's in, which is delightfully uncomfortable.

Nicole Kidman, creepy

I don't think I like any of the comedies I've watched from Adam Sandler, but his dramatic stuff is fantastic.

There are a lot named here who I'm unfamiliar with, and a few who are terrible humans but who I'm clueless about as actors. I don't think I've ever seen any Tom Cruise movies, but OMG:

milas kunis, scientologist, shilling for masterson and then fleeing to europe with her equally reprehensible husband. Chris pratt, gary sinese, both are right wingers, for sinese why he was great in the movies he was in, his current virtue signalling for the troops on reddit is very cringe, mostly because he started last year around the time when the eleciton/campaigns was in full run.(unlike jon stewart, you only came out recently as a rightie, to shore up the voter base for republicans that the gop would throw under the bus)/.

chris pratt, himself being a right winger, and supporting is fundie church, and i dont find him too good of actor, such wooden acting and people are defending him somehow? he only has one inflection and expression throughout all the roles he has been in, his acting careers was pure nepotism.

Rob MAC(originally rob machellenny) og isaip episodes were great, but became extremely pretentious even changing your name.

This will be an unpopular opinion but I cannot stand Nic Cage. He's unwatchable to me. His mannerisms, his delivery, everything about him tweaks me the wrong way.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

That's kind of the point in Renfield where he's an evil vampire. It's kinda great.

I wouldn't say I can't stand it, but I've grown to hating movies with The Rock in them. Not cause his acting sucks, but because it's the same shit with different special effects. But I enjoyed the Scorpion King, and Get Smart

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Although I wouldn't call him an actor. So I'm not sure if I answered the question.

Kira Sedgwick for decades, though I could never explain why — just something visceral in me. But her role as Wuntch (which ironically was supposed to make you hate her) on Brooklyn 99 was awesome, and I’ve enjoyed her work past and present ever since.

Brian Cox, the isn't-science-and-astronomy-cool guy.

I love his works, cant get enough of the TV he puts out, always look forward to the next one, but there's just something about him that makes me want to hook him in the jaw. I cant figure out what my problem with him is, but its real.

I wonder if Will Farrell dislike is a generational thing? I grew up on Will Farrell in SNL and A Night at the Roxbury and loved every second of it.

On the other hand, Bill Murray was before my time, and I haven't liked anything he's done.

Not 100% of the time but there are several. The one that comes to mind is Jeff Goldblum. My wife feels the same. We never like him but many of the movies we like well enough we just wish he was not in them. So like wicked and the original jurassic park are like that. Curiously I liked him in the fly but that seems to be a one off. Literally the moment I see his face and he speaks I want to punch him.
