Can we talk about how Emma Watson cannot act?

[Anonymous]

I liked her in the perks of being a wallflower. She's been in some real dogs on movies ... that Noah thing? yikes.

I agree about Natalie Portman...I also thought I was the only one!

I'm a PP (see: Watson kicked off La La Land). I love that you used 'burgled' instead of the awful, made-up Americanism 'burglarized.' I didn't see the movie you reference but maybe I will, now.

Well I am a Brit so I tend to use correct grammar.

I don't think she's a great actress, but not the worst out there.

I think she did the HP movies for so long and got so used to that style that she just doesn't really know how to act.

There is a lot of truth in this. She WAS a stage school kid, and the stage school actors are often very affected and stiff. Not many of them graduate beyond BBC TV into film. Although an exception is Michelle Dockerty she was also a stage school kid.

She's an ok actress. But too many put her on a pedestal because feminism. She's playing that card too hard and needs to shut it.

I think the amount of time, effort, formatting, and big words you used in your post just to make it seem that you weren't a catty know-it-all who loves tearing down successful women was a waste of time.

Seriously? I don't know if she's a great actress, I don't know anything about her, really, but I have no personal investment in her talent or success or lack thereof.

Why do we want so badly to see others fail? Or why do we take so much pleasure from criticism?

Lighten up pp, not one poster said they have ill-wishes for this girl, they said she can't act. If you'd seen her work and disagreed you could engage in a healthy debate and actually add something to this thread.

Honestly I don't think ANYONE is putting her on a feminism pedestal. In fact I've only seen press writing that she takes herself too seriously. So maybe she has constructed this pedestal herself?

I thought she did a great job in Colonia.

I've only seen her in Harry Potter and thought she played Hermione perfectly. I actually can't wait to see her in Beauty and the Beast!!

Speaking of people who can't act - Queen Latifah! It pains me to say it, because I love her. But she absolutely, 100% CANNOT act.

Queen Latifah doesn't need to act. Every time I see her in anything, I think, "Queeeeeen!" and she makes me happy to see her. That's enough for me.
