Actors that put you off a film
Discussion

I didn't say he wasn't. I just don't like him and if I know he will be in a film I won't watch it. So in the spirit of this thread he is an actor that would put me off seeing a film.
I agree. I think you have to be of a certain age or even political persuasion to appreciate him. Even at the tender age of 18, I didn't like Woody Allen, thinking that he appealed mainly to middle age lefties.I can’t say I have changed my opinion since.

I know what you mean - though he is very good in 'Elf'.
Mind you - it does help if you watch it half pissed around Christmas...
That's the only film with him in it I've seen, precisely for that reason too Mind you - it does help if you watch it half pissed around Christmas...

Leonardo DiCaprio fkn hate that boy faced t

Totally ruined Gangs of New York, yeah he really looked like a ruff neck settler?!
And against Daniel Day Lewis' monster of a performance, his one directional face pulling was sooo lame.
Blood diamond, cringe worthy accent.
Inception, such a good twisted and dark character written for him, and he still fkd it up.

Thought he was great in Inception personally and also thoroughly enjoyed Catch me if you can, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island and J Edgar.t.Totally ruined Gangs of New York, yeah he really looked like a ruff neck settler?!

t- thanks I feel better now*
He was good in The Basketball Diaries and This Boy's Life also.
I'd say he has one of the best catalogues of work of any young actor (<40) working today TBH.
I agree, love DiCaprio - maybe not great when he started, but in the ast 10 years - superb IMHO.Plays characters well enough, that I forget I'm watching DiCaprio, and think I'm watching the character that the film is portraying.
Unlike some other actors posted above, like Tom Hanks, when you feel like you're just watching Tom Hanks doing different things...
Have we had Mark Wahlberg yet? He seems to get slated, and yes, there is an element of watching 'Mark Wahlberg doing different things', I agree, but I think he's really watchable, I reckon he's great too.

Another for me to add, Dennis Leary, but even that foul s

Probably.
I cannot recall the film I saw that made me take De Caprio off my 'wk list' (that is not a list of people I wk to, but a list of people I consider wk). Perhaps it was The Departed. But I find he doesn't rankle me now, and I grudgingly admit that he is not bad, my old inclinations ensures that I don't go higher with my plaudits.
'twixt WEGG and The Departed I could gladly strangle him.

Ok, not too much Leo in it - a great list of supporting actors too, in a film that had a concept that was, for me, really spot on and very different.
BTW, another actor in this film that I really rate - after seeing his brilliant performance in the TV drama 'The Take' by Martina Cole - is Tom Hardy.
I absolutely loved this film - might even be my all time favourite movie as it goes. I was lucky enough to watch it on a late night showing after it had been out for a long time - and where I was sat in the cinema about half way down, there wasn't a single other person in the cinema around me and only a few people that were way up in the top rows behind me.
Becasue of this, and the fact I was on my own, and the pretty powerful nature of the film - I actually felt like I was in the movie itself after a while, along with the characters! I can't remember a time when a film has sucked me in to the extent that I forgot about the cinema around me and the seat I was sitting in.
I was gutted when it ended!
You might as well add 'Benny Hill' to that list!

Yeah I loved it. It may have been the first film I went to watch where I didn't expect it to be sOk, not too much Leo in it - a great list of supporting actors too, in a film that had a concept that was, for me, really spot on and very different.

t because of De Caprio, or that the thought he was in it crossed my mind. It was more of an ensemble and I really liked Hardy, but then I am a fan of his now, not sure when that happened.I also got into the film, I love altered reality films (Dark City, Truman Show, Matrix et al) and can relate what what you mean by 'being in it'. I felt the story wasn't really ended, but in films of that nature they always have to finish on that note.

Glad you like Hardy - he's pretty cool, in terms of 'slightly thuggish' British actors, he makes Statham look like the one-dimensional cut-out that he really is.
Surprised Hardy hasn't been in more big movies recently. Have you seen the mini TV-series with him in, 'The Take?' Mate, he is one scary Mofo in this - he plays a totally deranged, unhinged mental case. His acting is grade 1 for me in that series.
Just checked for you - it's available on Sky's Go Player here
Danny Dyer - i dont know why but he annoys the hell out of me and refuse to watch a film with him in.
i think its the whole false cockney geezer attitude, like hes some kind of gangster that could kill you with just his fists yet probably would struggle against a 14 year old boy
i just want to punch him in the face

Yeah, I did agree that Wahlberg tends to act himself in each role a bit. But strangely, I find him really watchable - no idea why. I watched 'Shooter' last weekend, a crappy little predictable and typical 'American' film - with a boring ending. Despite all this, I STILL enjoyed watching Marky Mark.
Weird innit. Maybe I'm really a little bit gay, who knows?
I think Shooter is the only Mark Wahlberg film I have seen. I really liked it. Weird innit. Maybe I'm really a little bit gay, who knows?

I agree but then I watched him in The Business and you see that hard man persona crumble when he meets some proper villains and he realises he is out of his depth.i think its the whole false cockney geezer attitude, like hes some kind of gangster that could kill you with just his fists yet probably would struggle against a 14 year old boy
