Sandra Bullock : One of the worst actors ever!

One of the worst actors ever!

Anyone else who thinks Sandra Bullock is the most overrated actors ever!!?? Can somebody please enlighten me what and in which movie she has ever done even a decent job?

Weird phenomenon to me...

Re: One of the worst actors ever!


I think she is an acceptable actress. I think she did well in the following films which I have seen:

A Time To Kill

Hope Floats

28 Days

Miss Congeniality

The Proposal


I think some of her best work that I have seen was in 28 days, I enjoyed her performance immensely in that movie in particular.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Well to each their own, but I personally loove her. I've been a fan since Speed, in which I thought she did a fantastic job.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Well...Yes...Her "acting" is terrible, but she has acted once...In "Crash", but then again she had maybe a five minutes role and yes she did her job well...
Otherwise she`s just a joke....Same goes to some other "actors"....
Like Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Hudson etc...

Re: One of the worst actors ever!


I agree with you. That role fit her well and she nailed it. The problem is that she is Sandra Bullock in every movie. The same annoying woman she is in every film and that's the reason why she fit so well in Crash.... where she plays a perfect ...rich, stuck up, annoying,.... bitch.

If an actress can truly act, then she will be respected by men and women,...not just women. Such as Kate Winslet, Natalie Portman, Meryl Streep, Charlize Theron and many more that actually pick challenging roles and show their range.

I have to disagree with you on Julia Roberts, even though she's not my favorite. She can act, and did well in Closer, Charlie Wilson's War, and a couple others that are decent.

Of course this is just my opinion.






Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I don't find her to be Sandra nor annoying in every role she plays. But we all have our opinions.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!


Thanks for that brilliant insight.

You found it necessary to be obnoxious over my response? Aren't you a pleasure.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!


You're asking me? ...Then no, I don't think it was obnoxious. It was sarcastic, learn your adverbs before you try to sound uppity.

That was a funny exchange abit late to reply but i enjoyed it.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

hahaha. I'm even later than you evantrevinco and I also enjoyed it. Gotta love message boards. Bringing people together XD

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Chillax. Some people like this one dude are just plain bitter.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

and that's what's wrong about Sandra bullock, she always plays the same roles over and over again. and it's gotten to the point where it seems like she's not even acting but just playing herself in movies, and she's dialing it in. I disagree with you, the reason why she was so good in Crash is because she played a different character than the one we always see her play, she had to use her acting muscles and ability to actually...act, imagine that.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Till now I have no idea how she won an Oscar for "The Blind Side". I thought Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren pulled off much better performances that year. I guess she just lobbied her way to victory.

Came up with this all by yourself, did ya? Your parents must be very proud.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

She's OK but not great and definitely not one of the "worst ever"

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I think to be able to be a leading lady for almost 20 years, she has to be good and there are some good dramatic roles she has done.



Its that man again!!

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

No, you are right, she is very over-rated, and she can never change her character in movies, shes always the same

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Always the same? Well, most of the time so were Bogart, Wayne, Gable, Crawford and a whole slew of other movie stars.

So why don't extras get their names in the credits?

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

She is no where near the worst, i can think of a hell of a lot more people that are worse like the entire cast for scream 4 for example

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Many actors do tend to coast from film to film offering little more than a version of themselves.

As avid movie goers,we have the tendency to become fond of certain actors more from the perspective of enjoying 'watching' them rather than expecting a performance from them. Many of the BIG stars like De Niro, Pacino, Cruise and Sandra have their shining moments and then some that are less so.

I think that the 'average Joe' critic would be well served to remember this and accept film for exactly what it is - escapism.

I've loved Di Nero in 'Cape Fear' to name but one, Cruise in 'Rainman', and Pacino in 'Scent Of A Woman' and Sandra Bullock in everything that she has been in, because I accept that I think that she's gorgeous and would happily watch her every night if she read the news!

Horrible actor/actress?

Give it a go...try acting in front of the mirror sometime...it's not as easy as it looks!

Here endeth the lesson

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

you're wrong about this. Tom Cruise almost always impresses with his performances as does Robert De Niro. it's acting, which is an art form and something that requires, skills, abilities, and talents to pull off. real actors, actors who can elevate what's on the script act their parts, they don't just offer little more than a version of themselves.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Yes but Bogart, Wayne, Gable and Crawford etc did have charisma and screen presence to go with it. I don't mind Bullock as a person, but as an actress she's hardly comparable to the aforementioned. She's done well for herself, and has made some films that are fun and enjoyable; but in no way does that equate to her being a good actress. I wouldn't say she's a particularly bad actress, but I wouldn't call her a good actress either.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!


who thinks Sandra Bullock is the most overrated actors ever!!??

She is not overrated for the simple reason that noone ever rated her that high. Even for "The Blind side", noone said she was that great. The compliments came from the industry, from people who gave her the Oscar so doesn't count.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

*beep* all you jealous haters! Shes amazing!

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I wasn't expecting a more clever comment from someone who's into saved by the bell and Hillary Duff. Get that stick out of you a**.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Marcos....I wasnt referring to you but GREAT COMEBACK! LOL!

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Sorry but you should be more careful with the reply button. There is often a lot of confusion.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I know.....sorry about that. :)

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Why doesn't it count??? I don't always agree with the Academy but they are also people. I happen to agree that she did an amazing job. Was she the best that year? Well I didn't see all the other actresses in competition so I can't say but to say she is one of the worst actors ever is a stretch. Wether people like her or not is a matter of opinion as art is subjective.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Yes, the Academy is made of people. But it is the same people who start gay rumours, adultery rumours, that will do anything to make or destroy someone's career. I agree, Bullock isn't one of the worst but she is nothing special.


art is subjective

If an argument can be used to defend the worst example, it is not a strong argument. What if I said that Paris Hilton did an amazing job in something something (obviously, I haven't watched her in anything)? Or that Ke$ha or the Jonas brothers are great artists? Subjectivity is a part of art but there are limits though. You can always insert more objective criteria to judge.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

But it is the same people who start gay rumours, adultery rumours, that will do anything to make or destroy someone's career.

Sorry, but that's an assumption.

And The blind side was very successful at the box office and also had some critics su 111c pport.

If an argument can be used to defend the worst example, it is not a strong argument. What if I said that Paris Hilton did an amazing job in something something

Well believe it or not even SHE has fans who think highly of her.

Or that Ke$ha or the Jonas brothers are great artists?

Again both of which also have fans who spend money on their music, maybe not on the level of Justin Bieber but still.

You can always insert more objective criteria to judge.

When it comes to entertaintment, there is hardly a general consensus.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

^I'm not sure what argument you are refering too, but in Sandra's case she has both mass appeal and winning an academy award means that she has support from her peers. This is regardless on whoever doesn't think she deserves her oscar.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

But it is the same people who start gay rumours, adultery rumours, that will do anything to make or destroy someone's career.

I'm grateful that Tom Cruise had gay sex. If he hadn't made that sacrifice(s), the world wouldn't have all his beautiful movies to cherish. And whatever charity contributions Tom used his celebrity for.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Well, in all fairness, PH was serviceable in House of Wax, and I'll easily say "Stars Are Blind" would have been a hit had it been by just about anyone else...

When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I haven't watched House of wax and hadn't listened or watched Stars are Blind before. I just watched the latter on youtube and I am not sure. The music is indeed catchy, quite enjoyable I may add, but the lyrics are simply ridiculous:
http://www.lyriczz.com/lyrics/paris-hilton/21633-stars-are-blind/
Most lyrics are ridiculous nowadays, I admit, so I don't know.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

It was a dispos 5b4 able summer single that, imo, should have performed as such. And I actually recommend HoW if you enjoy horror, it's pretty fun and massively underrated. I'm not a huge PH fan ftr, just very objective lol

When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

IMO, Sandra Bullock is a good actress, but not a great one. In some ways she is like the male Tom Cruise, in that most of their films are very entertaining but they are more movie stars with wide appeal than actors with great chops. Though Cruise has given some excellent performances and is a better actor than Bullock, and has had more iconic roles (Rain Man and Jerry Maguire for example). Oddly though, even though Cruise started 6 years earlier than Bullock (was a superstar at least a decade before her), and in his prime was far more "bankable", he has made 9 less films than Sandra (37 vs 46).

Regarding Sandra Bullocks Oscar win, it had the Julia Roberts / Erin Brockovich touch written all over it.

1. Both actresses were considered Americas Sweethearts.

2. Both actreses had given a string of good (not spectacular) performances.

3. Both actresses were/are very well liked within the industry

4. Both Oscars were given as much for the body of their work, and their longevity in a male dominated industry, as much as for the roles themselves (Erin Brockovich and Blind Side).

5. Both years (2000 and 2009) were not the strongest for GREAT nominated female performances, though Roberts had stiffer competition with Joan Allen in "The Contender" and Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem for a Dream".

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

I agree with everything.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???

Bitch please they where both amazing movies, and both actresses deserved their oscars without question without doubt.

Yes Sandy is Americas Sweetheart, but neither oscar was given out based on their body of work, are ya nuts? if that were the case Meryl Streep would win everytime she was nominated EVERYTIME!!!! are you kidding me its Meryl Streep. Sandy's performance in the Blind Side truely showed off her acting abilities, she was amazing in it, as was Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich both women justly won their oscars as their performances rightly earned them the win. I always watch the oscars and was actually unaware of this film until Sandy won, i DL'd it right after and watched straight away and was blown away by this young mans story (my fave bit in the movies is the scene on the football field were she tells him how to play and protect the other players like they're members of their family).

Sandy has had many great movies
speed
the net
a time to kill
28 days
practical magic
miss congeniality
premonition
the blind side

the two most amazing that really show off her acting skills are "a time to kill" and "the blind side" great movies and well deserved oscar win

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Do you wear a bib when you type your drool? Sandra Bullock has been some entertaining films, no great ones.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

ok, there's no way Tom Cruise has made only 37 movies, no way, I will never believe that. he's the most famous of all the actors of his generation and he's been around seemingly forever now and Bruce Willis had made 40 movies by around 1997, and Bruce Willis has only been around since probably the late '70s or early '80s. you lost me and made no sense at all when you compared Sandra bullock to tom cruise. that was the most absurd and the worst and most illogical comparison ever made. and say that tom cruise is not known for his acting chops? uh, yeah right. what does it take to have 238 acting chops to you? do you have to get all grimy and psychologically messed up and too into your part by eating a cockroach like Nicolas cage in kiss of the vampire or by taking a drug to get into character like johnny depp did in preparation for his role in fear and loathing in las vegas?

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

How about this... Range. Most of what you see her in has a comedic flare to it. Straight comedy, or playing straight being comedic.

When she's done drama such as 'Crash' which she 'nailed', and 'The Blind Side', she really stands out. However most of what she does is within the same vein so to speak, so you don't see such extremes in her work as you might with others.

And this... Entertainer. When she's on screen, she 'Entertains' people to delight. She's natural, impeccable timing, has a charismatic styling that draws people to watch her every move. Something you 'cannot' say about 'many' actors our there. Whatever she's in, be it even, 'eh', she stands out from the material and that says loads.

Success... her films for the most part have done Very good box office, especially for the 'type' of films they are. She's not doing 'Transformers' type buster's yet the films she has done, exceptional again, for they're type.

Likeability factor... There's a 'Charm' Sandra has that has captured film goers for, near 20 years now. She lights up a screen and brings life to a scene. Women adore her like she's the sister/friend you'd want around. Guys find her cute, pretty, attractive yet still can be 'one of the guys'.

Difference... When you think about it, there aren't really female actors you can lump her together with. She's a stand out with her own style. There's dozens of other female actors out there that are interchangeable and can get lost amongst themselves. Sarah has a 'unique' styling which she brings that sets her apart from others. And she has capitalized on that to extreme success.

You may not like her... may think she's only 3 sides of a 6 sided talent box... may not like the films she does or how she does them. Yet for every role I've seen her in, self tailored or not, she brings an entertainment factor that adds strength to the story, even when the story is weak.

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

@FilmFan777.. I just had to say, What a great post... I agree with everything you wrote about Sandra, great job...

Re: One of the worst actors ever!

Personally, I think she's marvelous. What she does off camera and in TV interviews makes me like her on the big screen even more.

So why don't extras get their names in the credits?
