Through the month of January I will be looking back on 2014, I will be looking at a range of subjects where I will be picking my best or worst in separate posts.
Today I will be look at Worst Male Performance. Sometimes people will end up giving bad performance and these are my picks for that. I don’t consider any of these bad actors I just think this performance was bad.
Mentions that could have been number one;
Theo James – Divergent 
While starring opposite Shailene Woodley he struggles to make any acting impact and is clearly there for the girls. My Review
Mark Wahlberg – Transformers Age of Extinction 
In the role where you didn’t need to see any acting Mark is just given long words to make him sound smart. My Review
Johnny Depp – Transcendence 
In what was a film I was looking forward to, we got a poor performance from one of Hollywood top A list actors. My Review
My pick for worst
Seth MacFarlane – A Million Ways to Die in the West
Seth has done well with his voice over work be it television or film but making himself a leading man in a film, no he is not a lead actor. My Review
Agree that ‘Transcendence’ was poor, but if you see Johnny Depp’s atrocious performance in ‘Tusk’ then ‘Transcendence’ almost seems Oscar-worthy by comparison. He really has had a terrible year. Good call on Theo James too, though I reckon Jack Reynor in ‘Transformers 4’ was even worse than Wahlberg
True he was pretty bad too, but we would expect better from Mark, Jack is just another guy who got an acting hob because of his look
Now I’m glad I haven’t seen any of these movies!
I think Divergent might work out acceptable is the sequels are good
Seth’s terrible performance was balanced by the overall terrible movie. Depp’s terrible performance was worse than the movie itself. Gonna have to go with Depp here.
i was expecting Depp to be plain, but i somehow thought Seth would give average and we literally got a bad stand up routine popping up during a terrible film
I agree, Seth McFarlane isn’t really a leading man.
P.S Happy Friday Dazza!
Yay, and Freedom week from work 🙂
Yay!!! 🙂
