There was nothing wrong with Kitsch in John Carter. Disney failed the movie with a poor marketing campaign.

Let's not pretend that the terrible acting was what sunk The Last Airbender. The butchering of the story is what did it!

Don't EVER ditz John Carter OR its lead - Taylor Kitsch gave it his all, it was Disney who screwed everyone over!!!

John Carter👍. I still wait for a sequel, with the same actors, that will never come because somebody messed up and for sure not the actors. Loved the movie.

This whole premise is utter bollocks - any movie 'ruined' by an actor was in fact ruined by a director...

Why the narrative diss on the actors only? If an actor can't act, the director should be blamed too.

John Carter was amazing, nothing wrong with Kitsch in it. Disney fked it up. Like usual.

Will and Jada better be careful with their money, cause no one really wants to hire them and no one really wants to see them right now. “The Slap” heard around the world. Damn Will, what were you thinking?

In what fever dream does <i>Cats</i> count as sci-fi?

Pretty much all of the movies in this list is because of bad directing, no marketing, awful script, tons of rewrites during filming. Not "just on actor/actress". Besides only half of the movies in this list should have been in there.
