Knockoff Jennifer Lawrence acts better than the real one


And she probably cost $200-500K for the movie.

I mean, if Lawrence can win a Best Actress Oscar for some of the trash she's been in, this should be a lifetime achievement award here.

Watching Haley Bennett really was like living in some Bizarro World where Lawrence can act.

Ok, cue all the sheep who lick the Academy's butt and don't ever try to question their judgment or ethics...but it is what it is.

Winter's Bone

That was pure trash, all she did was play herself, knocking on doors to find out where daddy was. It was a glorified episode of Justified.

Daniel Baldwin took kingsley to acting school

yea she is the most overrated actress going right now , she just ruined xmen for me , and hunger games was garbage too... her hype is dying down so don't worry .. unless she releases some more nudes to get attention, she will get replaced by another younger hotter actress who can't act who gives better bjs on the casting couch .

jennifer lawrence=💩💩💩

The last two Hunger Games were really bad. I knew she was going to be terrible in X-Men Apocalypse, but from what I heard, she was spectacularly awful. I'm anxiously waiting for it on Bluray now out of curiosity.

I knew the fix was in when she won an Oscar for American Hustle. She was SO BAD in that.

reply

Except she didn't win the Oscar for that. She won the Oscar for Silver Linings playbook.

reply

Whatever, regardless, she was nominated FOUR TIMES for horrible performances.

Also, what's up with the Academy nominating actors for pretentious roles but ignoring the roles they played in movies people actually watched? Do they suddenly become worse actors when they do that? LOL.

reply

Well said 

I'm not watching Passengers (and I love Chris Pratt) because Jlaw's in it. haha.

I really liked Passengers. A lot of people didn't, but I really dug it.

And this is why we don't reply to delusional trolls.

The disrespect people in this generation have for the opinions of others is incredible.

You can't invalidate someone's opinion by calling them a troll, FYI. Go to hell and don't respond to me anymore, thanks.

lol, yea idiots on here think imdb is some kind of fan site , lol, yea her winning for american hustle is one of the biggest jokes i have ever seen , she barely had any screen time , and the movie itself wasnt anything special at all . she was like the 4th lead or something ...i basically think hollywierd was still in love with silver linings playbook so she was the"IT" girl at the moment but we all know how fickled hollywierd is and how short fame lasts. It's not only her acting but everytime i see her she is complaining about something nothing bothers me more than a rich celeb whining about how tough they have it .

reply

That was the worst possible movie she could ever have taken because the other three leads made her look absolutely atrocious as an actress.

Haley did a lot of stuff in this movie that Lawrence absolutely could not pull off. I thought the way she delivered the revenge line. Lawrence would butcher that line up completely.

A lot of times, in X-Men: First Class, she looked lost in scenes too. She really could benefit from acting classes. It's just sad.

reply

yea, what else pisses me about the new xmen is how much they catered to her , she hardly was in the blue makeup(probrably cause she played the diva card) and who makes a VILLIAN the leader of the XMEN???? i watched it and it wasn't as bad as i thought it was just ok but could have been so much better(quicksilver made it watchable plus the logan cameo), rebecca romijn just is a 100 time's better mystique and better actress def has a less annoying face than lawrence.i hope when they do another xmen they don't bring her back , bigger problem is who they get to be the new wolverine , hugh jackman owns that role .Also Gambit was my 2nd favorite xmen , why doesn't he get any love while lesser xmen get into the movie ????
jennifer lawrence might only be good at being a robot in a movie since she only has one facial expression and zero actiong range.

reply

I don't know if you're a troll or not, but I share your hatred of Jlaw, haha. HOW did she win for SLP (Emmanuelle Riva gave one of the best acting performances of all-time, Jlaw just screamed a bit), and nominated for American Hustle and Joy?

She was OK in Winter's Bone, I'll give her that.

But haley walks all over her (and this is the only film I've seen her in). She actually fleshed out a 3D character from a thinly sketched one on the script. I feel J-law does the opposite: turn every character into a 1-dimensional, shrill banshee.

I agree with your post, but why the need to start out with the "I don't know if you're a troll" BS?

Stop, please, alright?

reply

Haley was in one of my favorite movies of the year. So, good on her. Said movie, btw, was Hardcore Henry.

Quit being a snob, that movie didn't have the best dialogue, but she got my attention.

reply

People say that when people sound like they are trolling.

reply

Your obsession with Jennifer Lawrence is amusing.

reply

yeah...knockoff Jennifer Lawrence were far better actresses than the real worthless overratade Lawrence.

reply

...but its always trouble for an actor or actress to look too much like a more famous actor or actress.

Its like there is only room for one -- the original.

Folks on these boards may be too young to remember these crash and burns:

James Whitmore(looked like Spencer Tracy)
John Gavin(looked like Rock Hudson)
Jayne Mansfield(looked like Marilyn Monroe)

but some decades ago there was Monica Potter(looked like Julia Roberts, dyed her hair blonde to avoid it)...

Have we heard from Haley recently?

BTW, she was sexier..and more tragic...in the Denzel/Fuqua "Equalizer."
