Many actors do tend to coast from film to film offering little more than a version of themselves.
As avid movie goers,we have the tendency to become fond of certain actors more from the perspective of enjoying 'watching' them rather than expecting a performance from them. Many of the BIG stars like De Niro, Pacino, Cruise and Sandra have their shining moments and then some that are less so.
I think that the 'average Joe' critic would be well served to remember this and accept film for exactly what it is - escapism.
I've loved Di Nero in 'Cape Fear' to name but one, Cruise in 'Rainman', and Pacino in 'Scent Of A Woman' and Sandra Bullock in everything that she has been in, because I accept that I think that she's gorgeous and would happily watch her every night if she read the news!
Horrible actor/actress?
Give it a gotry acting in front of the mirror sometimeit's not as easy as it looks!

you're wrong about this. Tom Cruise almost always impresses with his performances as does Robert De Niro. it's acting, which is an art form and something that requires, skills, abilities, and talents to pull off. real actors, actors who can elevate what's on the script act their parts, they don't just offer little more than a version of themselves.

Yes but Bogart, Wayne, Gable and Crawford etc did have charisma and screen presence to go with it. I don't mind Bullock as a person, but as an actress she's hardly comparable to the aforementioned. She's done well for herself, and has made some films that are fun and enjoyable; but in no way does that equate to her being a good actress. I wouldn't say she's a particularly bad actress, but I wouldn't call her a good actress either.

She is not overrated for the simple reason that noone ever rated her that high. Even for "The Blind side", noone said she was that great. The compliments came from the industry, from people who gave her the Oscar so doesn't count. -

Why doesn't it count??? I don't always agree with the Academy but they are also people. I happen to agree that she did an amazing job. Was she the best that year? Well I didn't see all the other actresses in competition so I can't say but to say she is one of the worst actors ever is a stretch. Wether people like her or not is a matter of opinion as art is subjective. -

Yes, the Academy is made of people. But it is the same people who start gay rumours, adultery rumours, that will do anything to make or destroy someone's career. I agree, Bullock isn't one of the worst but she is nothing special.
art is subjective
If an argument can be used to defend the worst example, it is not a strong argument. What if I said that Paris Hilton did an amazing job in something something (obviously, I haven't watched her in anything)? Or that Ke$ha or the Jonas brothers are great artists? Subjectivity is a part of art but there are limits though. You can always insert more objective criteria to judge. -

Sorry, but that's an assumption.
And The blind side was very successful at the box office and also had some critics su111cpport.

Well believe it or not even SHE has fans who think highly of her.
Or that Ke$ha or the Jonas brothers are great artists?
Again both of which also have fans who spend money on their music, maybe not on the level of Justin Bieber but still.
You can always insert more objective criteria to judge.
When it comes to entertaintment, there is hardly a general consensus. -
