The main actress: Unlikable?


For some reason, I had a very hard time watching this movie, not because of its content, but because of the main actress.

For the most part, I thought Natalie was pretty bad in this movie. I never heard or recognized her before, but her acting was just... flat, wooden, and awkward. Maybe she was miscast, because she couldn't really carry this film and deliver the emotions.

Plus, she looked incredibly rough, and I found her facial expressions to be a cold-hearted you-know-what, but like as if she was a recovering druggie. In general, and this may sound bad, but I found her face to be incredibly annoying.

Anyone agree???

I just think Natalie didn't really have much to work with.

The opening dialogue was some of the worst I've ever heard, she definitely deserves better than this.

Nope, I think she is the hottest woman to step foot on planet earth.

You are right, she is very unlikable, annoying and talentless actress.

I have not seen The Forest, but she was great in the Tudors as Anne Boleyn.

She was also in Captain America.


I couldn't believe when I read his filmography that he played a toilet (no joke) in According to Jim

She played a pretty good Anne Boleyn, but i still have to favor Natalie Portman for that roll in the other boleyn girl. The Forest is at least worth a watch though. Especially if you are a Dormer fan

Hate to agree but even checking out stand alone stills of her she looks like she could seriously be a problem. Hard to handle as the old song goes. Helen Wheels as another old tune says.

Guess I am trying nicely to say she looks like a bitch!!

Didnt like her character either. I sat there, hoping she would die in the most gruesome way. : )

RBF, I've not heard that before but I like it!
I think she looks fantastic in some films/TV and pretty rough in others. (she was consistently rough in this film)
I think its down to lighting and make up, she looked pretty good in GoT and Elementary.

reply

Yeah, she is only famous for getting naked & Tudors & Game of thrones.

& even if she had a sister, twin or not, & they both got naked in this movie, even got tricked by the ghosts into having some incestous lesbian scenes, this movie would still be unwatchable. & its not even like she is really all that good looking anyway, so this has no redeeming qualities.

Whilst I love her temptress/vixen character in GOT, I have to say this film was quite bad and her acting was the same. A friend who watched it with me but has never seen GOT or her before said she was a *beep* actress - his first comment about the film. Based on this film, I'm not sure how she will get any more roles. Better to stick to GOT, but she may be killed off being an unimportant character now Joffrey is gone.
