The Fans Have Ranked the 10 Worst A-List Actors

As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that I wholeheartedly concur with this list! Some of these names might be familiar to me, but their achievements are far from deserving of the hype they’ve received.


Ranker serves as a widely-used platform on the web, enabling individuals to rate whatever they prefer, using their preferred method, at any given moment. This system is primarily focused on fans, and it’s not officially associated with the creators of the projects being ranked. Lately, a comprehensive survey was conducted on Ranker, aimed at identifying the most disappointing A-list actors and actresses throughout history. The list encompasses over 100 names, but in our write-up, we’ve chosen to highlight the top ten performers from the site, offering additional insights, personal comments, and opinions to make the report more engaging.

Absolutely, as this list holds significant value, we’ve chosen to share it with you. Here’s a rundown of the top performers on our list, ranked from number 10 down to the first place winner. We trust you’ll find it interesting!

10. Jennifer Lopez

As a devotee, I must admit that Jennifer Lopez, indeed, carries a powerful and renowned name. However, it’s a topic of discussion whether she can be categorized as an A-list actress (her musical prowess is undeniable!). Regardless, I believe her acting skills are overhyped, though there have been some unexpectedly impressive performances. Her acting talent, at best, is modest, and it’s questionable whether she truly deserves the attention she’s receiving. Moreover, the excessive focus on her private life, which often feels intrusive, is something I could do without.

9. Kristen Stewart

It might surprise you, but we’re not on board with this particular listing, much like suggesting Robert Pattinson for a prestigious role when he’s moved past the Twilight franchise. Although many may still associate her with the series, Kristen Stewart has demonstrated her acting prowess, particularly in her outstanding performance as Lady D in Spencer, which earned her an Oscar nomination. Therefore, it seems unfair to include her on such a list.

8. Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana, as you may recall, was indeed Hannah Montana during that time. Given that she was a child then, it’s fair to say her portrayal might not be entirely serious. Have you wondered if she pursued acting beyond that period? Indeed, we remember her from Two and a Half Men. Yet, her controversial music and high-profile relationship with one of the Hemsworth brothers are what most people associate her with. The media buzz around her is significant, but it’s debatable whether she qualifies as an A-list actress based on her filmography alone.

7. Taylor Lautner

As a longtime observer of pop culture, I must say that I still find myself scratching my head whenever I come across references to the Alpaca Meme guy, who was once quite popular. Unlike the likes of Stewart and Pattinson, who have proven their versatility in various roles, Lautner left me unimpressed during his stint with a dreadful franchise. To be fair, he may not have been an A-list star, but I believe that he was overrated back then, given the quality of work he produced.

6. Madonna

She acted, right? And even in Evita, she wasn’t terrible. The rest, though, was forgettable or better left forgotten. Unfortunately, Madonna’s personal life tarnished her reputation as a serious musician. Since she didn’t have a film career to begin with, the excessive hype around her is unwarranted.

5. Lena Dunham

To start with, Lena Dunham isn’t a top-tier actress in Hollywood. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge that she has some talent, don’t you agree? It’s not like her work is terrible, and there isn’t a lot of buzz surrounding her, right? So, while you may think she’s overrated, it’s hard to justify her inclusion in this list solely because she doesn’t have the same level of fame and influence as those on this list or some who didn’t make it (such as Lizzo or Jada Pinkett Smith).

4. Amy Schumer

As a longtime fan of comedy and a follower of Amy Schumer’s career since her stand-up days, I wholeheartedly concur with the sentiment expressed by that little bunny from Bambi. In my opinion, Schumer has consistently demonstrated her intelligence and wit through her comedic performances, writing, and activism. Her ability to tackle complex social issues with humor and grace is truly commendable, and it’s clear that she has earned the recognition and acclaim she deserves in the entertainment industry. So, when it comes to commenting on Amy Schumer, I think we can all agree that silence is indeed golden.

3. James Corden

I can’t help but feel a bit perplexed about James Corden. As someone who’s spent decades immersed in the world of entertainment, I have to say, he’s not exactly an A-list actor by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it seems that his name is more often associated with controversy than with critically acclaimed performances.

2. Amber Heard

Admittedly, Amber Heard displayed a reasonable level of skill in that courtroom scene with Johnny Depp, but I must confess, that wasn’t a film, was it? While she is attractive and possesses some acting talent, it seems her capabilities are somewhat restricted. Her path to becoming an A-list actress remains a mystery to many. In the interim, she has successfully ruffled feathers among movie audiences worldwide, which may explain how she finds herself in this situation today.

1. Jaden Smith

It’s surprising to think about when exactly this individual reached A-list status as an actor, isn’t it? He certainly seems like a product of nepotism, yet he didn’t leverage that opportunity effectively, which speaks volumes about his talent level. Frankly, there’s nothing commendable about Jaden Smith. If you’re skeptical, I encourage you to watch the hilarious Key & Peele sketch for proof. Until next time.
