Ray Allen in He Got Game.

Ray Allen single-handedly:
Wasted a prime Denzel Washington acting performance.
Wasted a prime Rosario Dawson (looks wise).
Wasted random big tittied white women threesome scene.
I don't know what Spike Lee was thinking. Movie didn't even have that many basketball scenes to make up for the horribleness of that acting.

A Close 2nd place has to go Sofia Coppola in Godfather 3.

the worst performance in roughly 8 1/2 hours of a movie trilogy, and was absolutely abhorrent as one of the most important central characters and brought down the entire film by *2* letter grades. Sophia Coppola is maybe the worst actress or actor ever to co star in a film of its prestige and did so 100% because of nepotism and impatience.

Well, recently I watched The Card Counter with Oscar Isaac.

The movie started off pretty good.
But then someone decided to cast Tiffany Haddish in it. Good grief was she terrible.

By the end it did not matter since the movie wound up sucking anyway but still.

I haven't seen it....and won't based on your review.
I'll take your word for it.

Spike Lee being a cuck for basketball always makes me laugh....and yeah, Ray Allen had to be the worst, seeing as it was supposed to be a serious film. Its not like Space Jam wherein we never expected top quality acting from a dude who balls.

Second only to Will Smith and his son in After Earth...pure basura, no sengoku.

John David Washington in "Tenet". Hands down.

I liked the concept of that movie. But it needed a helluva performance by your star lead to take it next level. Buddy was trash

Hate to say this, but Robert Pattinson and John David Washington's roles should've been switched.

I feel like aesthetically, the role was written for Pattinson. They gave JDW no backstory...they didn't even give him a damn name. He wasn't going to be successful in that role.

That's a good point. To be all the way honest, that movie was tailormade for a young Will Smith imo tho

Hmmm... I actually don't mind him as Superman too much.
Or let me say it this way, even if they cast a better actor I don't think those movies are much better.

I agree, the script likely drove the character to this dull uncharismatic Superman. Dude was just unlikable imo
