10 not so good movies with great actors

1 ‘Snowman’ (2017)

Snowman it’s the kind of film that looked good on paper but was disappointing, as evidenced by its low score of just 23% on Metacritic. Its story follows a detective, amusingly named Harry Hole, as he investigates a possible serial killer in a small Norwegian town in the middle of winter.

Part of the reason it sounded certain was the impressive cast that included stars like Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, J.K. Simmons And Val Kilmer. He also had impressive behind-the-scenes talent given his director, Thomas Alfredsonalso did Let the right one inand its co-editor was the talented Thelma Schoonmakerwho is known for her incredible work editing almost all Martin Scorsesefilms since 1980. It’s a crime thriller that just doesn’t fit together, which is a shame given the talent that goes into it.

2 ‘Crash’ (2004)

Judging by the way it was at the Oscars, crash can be considered successful. For some reason, Oscar voters really gravitated towards the film’s clumsy take on race and prejudice in 21st-century America. It’s all done in such a clumsy way that even if you think his intentions are good, some parts of the movie feel awkward at best and really uncomfortable at worst.

But then again, it’s hard not to be impressed by the sheer number of big stars in his cast. The composition under consideration includes Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard And Tandive Newton…but even big fans of those actors should approach this crash with the utmost care.

3 “X-Men: Apocalypse” (2016)

Almost every film in X-Men The series boasts an impressive cast, but X-Men: Apocalypse takes a step forward. It would take almost an entire paragraph of text to list all the big names in the cast, but to begin with, it includes Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, James McAvoyMichael Fassbender, Sophie Turner And Nicholas Hoult.

But despite such an impressive cast, X-Men: Apocalypse often regarded as one of the weakest entries in the series, and perhaps the one that dampened interest in X-Men generally. Some might find it a little morbid curiosity watching it unravel erratically, but other than that, this is one superhero movie that can be safely skipped.

4 Ocean’s Twelve (2004)

Of the three films Oceantrilogy released between 2001 and 2007, the second, Ocean’s Twelve, perhaps the weakest. It retains the slick style and a bit of humor from the well-received first film, but is nowhere near as captivating as the story, given that it surprisingly downplays the heist elements that helped make the first film so successful.

However, if there are people who just want to watch a movie with a bunch of stars, Ocean’s Twelve admittedly, they will be covered. These films are well known for featuring many of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 2000s, including actors. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and even Bruce Willis playing a version of himself in probably the best scene in the movie.

5 ‘Amsterdam’ (2022)

Given that it did not receive the most rave reviews from critics, the most remarkable thing about Amsterdam turns out to be his cast. Unsurprisingly, the star count was heavily advertised both in the trailer and on the movie’s posters, otherwise the critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes of just 33% doesn’t make it all that appealing.

However, it is noteworthy that Amsterdam has features Christian Bale, John David Washington, Margot Robbie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Michael Shannon and even Robert DeNiroto name just a few. It’s not entirely clear what attracted so many big names to a film that ultimately didn’t impress audiences or critics, but the movie business can be quirky and unpredictable at times…

6 Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

It would be generous to indicate Thor: Love and Thunder is divisive considering it’s probably the nicest thing to say about the fourth Thor movie. The character has been remarkably well received in Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity Warand then Avengers: Endgamewhat made it such a shame that Love and Thunder ended up misfiring and ruining the reputation of some previous films.

Even more disappointing is the fact that Love and Thunder Might be the best cast ever Thor movie, but more or less wasted them. He boasted Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Russell CroweChristian Bale and most of the main actors from guardians of the galaxy movies, but still couldn’t use their collective talent to help make another great movie featuring the God of Thunder.

7 ‘Nine’ (2009)

Nine — the musical, released in 2009 coincidentally, brought together a huge number of Oscar winners in its wonderful cast. Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench And Sophia Loren they are all in the film, which makes its overall cast really impressive.

However, at the end of the day Nine was not a critical hit, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 39%. For those who can resist a huge cast and find the idea of ​​watching a movie about a famous director struggling with his professional and personal life, it’s better to just watch the 1963 film. 8½on which the plot of the film is based.

8 “The Expendables” (2010)

Basic premise The Expendables is that he’s going to assemble a whole bunch of famous action movie stars into one movie, and that’s why action movie fans will probably want to watch it. Of course, while the actual plot involves taking down a rogue CIA agent, few people who are interested in the film are unlikely to be as much interested in the story.

Its sequels up the ante when it comes to big names, but the first one certainly doesn’t fool around in the realm of casting given its idiosyncrasies. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Jet Li and Bruce Willis. It may have been enough for viewers to see so many iconic action stars in one film for them to have a good time, but it wasn’t enough for critics, given the film’s Metacritic score of 45%.

9 ‘Armageddon’ (1998)

As a director Michael Bay known for his love of excess, as well as how he likes to make films that are over the top and full of explosions. Armageddon, so it looks like a Michael Bay movie - for better or for worse - given its ludicrous premise in which a group of oil rig workers are being trained to become astronauts so they can go into space and destroy an asteroid before it hits the Earth, destroying the human race. fully.

Whatever you say about the movie, you can’t deny its exceptional cast. Armageddon bruce willis features, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Steve Buscemi And Owen Wilsonamong other things, turning it into a goofy but stellar spectacle about preventing the end of the world.

10 ‘Movie 43’ (2013)

A perfect example of how not to do sketch comedy, Movie 43 notorious for being one of the worst comedies of the 21st century. He offers viewers one unfunny skit after another, making the film an absolute test of endurance.

Almost too many famous people are inexplicably involved to be mentioned, with some of the biggest names Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Chris Pratt, Emma Stone, Richard Gere And Halle Berry. Reading the story behind Movie 43 and how so many people ended up in such a bad movie is more interesting than the movie itself… though not by much.
