I'd have to agree, while I wouldn't say her acting ever stood out as great it never stood out as bad either. I don't understand why so many posts are chastising her like this Did she burn down an orphanage or something else I don't know about?

As long as the role is limited and calls for a wooden performance with zero range or emotion than JJ is serviceable. She fit in well on Mad Men because her character was supposed to be repressed and subdued. But her movie roles have gone from mediocre to abysmal. Maybe being associated with Ashton Kutcher has enabled his "acting" DNA to rub off on her.

JJ is rather one-note but that's fine. Many actors are. The last 20 or so times I saw Christopher Walken in a role, he played well, Christopher Walken. Most actors aren't transformation freaks like Meryl Streep and Daniel Day Lewis.
Some people seem to rate performances by degree of transformation (zomg he plays a retard he must be the greatest actor evvar), which is an amateurish POV like n00bs who think that guitar skills are rated by how fast you can play, therefore Yngwie must be better than Jimi Hendrix.
There are so many other parameters to consider in acting, but the most important one is of course to embody a role and make the character believable. And for the role of Betty, JJ is a perfect fit. She's not versatile, she's more corkscrew than Swiss army knife, but if all you need is to open a bottle then a corkscrew will do the job wonderfully. You think she's wooden? Well good, because Betty is pretty much made of wood. 10/10 for the casting.
I think some of the hate may stem from her underwhelming performance as host on SNL. It was pretty bad. But the girl is pathologically shy and got into acting almost as therapy to overcome her shyness, and getting up in front of an audience and millions of viewers to do comedy for an hour and a half is hell for someone like that. She was probably on the verge of crapping her pants the whole show. Actually one of the sketches was just a non stop farting extravaganza so maybe she took the opportunity -

she's not a fraction as horrible as haters exaggerate7ec. and why do they only pick on her? why not pick on ACTUALLY wooden, emotionless actors like Natalie Portman (at least she was better as a kid), Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Lawrence, or hey, Christina Hendricks' overrated acting that people only pretend is so good because they appreciate how slutty Joan is?

It's not hate. I've never seen her in Mad Men, only X-men, and she was so bland and emotionless she took me out of every scene she was in. And I have absolutely no animosity towards her at all, I didn't even know who she was. Only that she was very bland. That's my call and I am not a "hater" because I disagree with you.
