Fans Expose The Most Overrated and Underrated Actors In Hollywood

Darren November 14, 2023

Underrated – Tim Roth

Roth is one of those actors who suffers a mid-career slump after a sensational start. He was one of the biggest stars of the nineties but now he’s a TV star. Roth worked with Quentin Tarantino in several movies and also earned an Oscar nomination for Rob Roy. But many people forget about the underrated star.

NME

“Tim Roth has had plenty of work but is rarely considered as a heavyweight choice for leading roles,” one fan wrote. “The guy demands attention when he’s on screen.” These days he’s having a late renaissance in series such as She-Hulk and Tin Star but he’s no Hollywood leading man.

Overrated -Timothee Chalamet

Chalamet is enjoying an incredible career and many fans compare him to Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s won acclaim for everything from Call Me By Your Name to Dune. But this doesn’t mean that everybody agrees that he is a brilliant performer. Some people think that he’s an overrated talent.

The Jakarta Post

This person delivered a polarizing but intelligent critique of Chalemet’s talents. They wrote: “In every recent film I see him in I feel like I’m watching different variations of the same soft-spoken, introverted, almost daydreamy character – he never really goes outside a narrow range.”

Underrated – Robert Pattinson

Pattinson is the second Twilight star on this list but he’s an equally underrated actor. Some people will laugh at this but it’s true. Watch his recent performances in Good Time, High-Life, and The Lighthouse because he is outstanding. He’s come a long way from his days as a brooding vampire.

InStyle

Another Internet user defended Pattinson’s acting credentials. They wrote: “Most probably know him from Twilight, Harry Potter, or Batman but honestly they do a disservice to him. He’s a versatile, sensational actor that when given great scripts always delivers.”

Overrated – Barry Keoghan

Sometimes movie stars don’t understand why actors continue to get work. Keoghan is one of these because the Irish star is popping up in everything. However, many haters can’t stand him because of his uncanny appearance and his weird mannerisms. They also believe that he doesn’t possess any meaningful talent.

Film Magic

One fan had a damning take about Keoghan and thinks he’s one of the most overrated actors ever. They questioned: “What does everyone see? The guy just mumbles in a weird accent and acts creepy in every movie.” Several people agreed because they didn’t understand where his hype came from.

Underrated – Jenna Ortega

Ortega is one of those actors who become victims of their success. People instantly dismiss them as overrated because of their incredible popularity. But this is an unfair perspective because she’s an outstanding talent. “She is absolutely amazing in everything I’ve seen her in!” this Ortega fan said. “Her acting is just pure, raw emotion!”

Showbiz Cheat Sheet

The young actress showed her chops in season two of You. Then she won hearts with a charismatic turn as Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series Wednesday. That’s not an easy role to play but she made it her own with a brilliant performance. She’s got great talent and going from strength to strength.

Overrated – Gal Gadot

It’s amazing how Gadot has become one of Hollywood’s most polarizing figures. Yes, the internet can be a toxic cesspool but the resounding response to Gadot is that she’s wooden. One critic compared her to a ‘living, breathing perfume ad.’ The consensus is that her looks are carrying her through her career.

Greek Reporter

“She’s the latest in a long line of Hollywood actors and actresses who were famous for looking really good on-screen,” this film fan critiqued. “It’s a marketable skill in the movie industry.” Nonetheless, nobody can say that the Wonder Woman star isn’t enjoying success.
