Over/Underrated

Alana mentioned that she hates Ryan Gosling and Tom Cruise, and that got me thinking about the actors and actresses that I hate--and love.

I left out the obvious, shallow ones {Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt}, even if they're legitimately good actors. These lists are more for the unexpectedly appreciated or surprisingly repulsive talent.

Actors/Actresses I Hate
1. Tom Cruise - I don't care what character he's playing, all I see is Tom Cruise. I'm pretty sure that's all he sees, too. And he's short.
2. Ryan Reynolds - Unbelievably overrated.
3. Jim Carrey - He's not an actor. He doesn't act. He contorts his nasty rubber face.
4. Will Ferrel - Mostly I just dislike the kind of humor he specializes in.
5. Billy Crystal - He just grosses me out.
6. Keira Knightly - She never completely closes her mouth. She probably thinks it's sexy, but swallowing all those flies can't be good for the libido.
7. Anne Hathaway {although I did love her in Les Mis} - I don't really have a good reason to hate her {except that she has bags under her eyes}, so she's probably going to be removed from this list soon. Like, actually now. Except that I can't get the crossed-out-text thing to work, so this whole paragraph is now dumb.

8. Shia LaBeouf - He just annoys me. I can't get over Even Stevens and Holes.
9. John Travolta - He is a pretty good actor, I just hate his face a lot. Like a lot. I don't like to have to look at him.
10. Nicolas Cage - I don't think he can act.
11. Russel Brand - Disgusting. His face is disgusting, his voice is disgusting, his humor is disgusting. Even Katy Perry couldn't stay with him.
12. Samuel L. Jackson - He's the same obnoxious dead-eyed, smart-assed killjoy in every movie.

Actors/Actresses I Love
1. Jennifer Lawrence - I think she's a really good, nitty-gritty actress and she seems funny and down-to-earth.
2. Jennifer Garner - I don't think she's pretty at all, but she's a great actress.
3. Victor Garber - He's so convincing in whatever role he plays.
4. Leonardo DiCaprio - Incredibly talent. He has no limits. He's the opposite of Tom Cruise. DiCaprio fully commits to whatever character he plays, portraying them as a real person.
5. Ben Affleck - I really enjoy him. I think he's a good actor and I like his style.
6. Helena Bonham Carter - She's so quirky. And she's in, like, everything now.
7. Mark Ruffalo - Hm. I'm not sure why I like him. I definitely love his voice.
8. Jonah Hill - He's so funny and adorable XD
9.  Christoph Waltz - Seriously talented. Absolutely incredible. Him and Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie together was perfect {Django}.
10. Sandra Bullock - Great actress, very classy.

What about y'all? Are there actors/actresses you love or love to hate?
