Zendaya's acting is criminally bad


All the other actors live up to the task, but Zendaya's acting is hammy af. When she's worried, angry and/or perplexed, she frowns. When she's happy, she cracks a smile. But that's not how acting works, you over-hyped twat!

Very sulky and petulant - distracting performance.

Shes really good on euphoria, but yea there was a lot of overacting on her part. but she is there because of the hype she brings to the movie or use to i feel like she fell off this year compared to last year in terms of popularity.

She is woefully miscast in this. I was even annoyed with her acting just waking up after sleeping in the desert. She looked like a 16 year old girl in comfy bed. Like, she was never "in the scene". She wasn't alone though, Bautista was cartoonishly awful. I'd blame the director but everybody else did a great job. They should have made Zendaya's angry girl pal the love interest. She was acting circles around the movie star.
