Lol touched a nerve
shareNo. I disagree!!!
shareDid you see her in Leon The Professional? She was only 13 when she made the film, and was amazing considering all the violence in the film.
shareNot much of an endorsement.
shareyeah, i mean if her best work was when she was a teenager then she's not a great actress. actors should get better or at least stay as good as they get older. i see on here the professional and beautiful girls as being her standout performances and she was a teen in both of them.
sharewatch Leon The Professional, V for Vendetta and Black Swan and than tell me how bad she is...
shareI don't think she's aged too badly, we all do in the end. In term's of her cuteness I'd say circa Closer (2004) is her at her peak, so mid 20's. She's still a beautiful looking woman.
She's got some fantastic films on her C.V, Heat, Black Swan, Jackie, Leon,Closer, V for Vendetta, Annihilation, Heat, Garden State, Beautiful Girls, Cold Mountain, the Darjeeling Limited. That alone isn't a bad start. Sure in most of those she's not the lead. But I think Swan, Jackie, Leon, Garden State and Beautiful Girls, she's probably the best thing in those films.
She's done thing's for money like most actresses like Stars Wars No Strings Attached, Your Highness and Thor films. And she's done stuff that had potential but didn't quite hit the mark like her work with Terrence Malick, Jane Got A Gun, Brothers and My Blueberry Nights. She's also done quite a lot of lower budget stuff and directed a film herself, which wasn't a success overall but at least she tried it. There's a bit of filler in there too that drags down her C.V a bit.
Her career for me probably was at it's very best from her teenage years until her late 20's, she will give you a performance here and there to remind you that she's still around. But I wouldn't say overrated, she's stalled a bit in recent years but a few good films could put her on track very easily.
What an honest answer
shareThank you. I think she's a fine actress, for a while there she was one of the better actresses out there. But over the years, she's not been at the level of her early career. It happens to make talented people, some night disagree with me that she hasn't lost a step.
shareI think she was labelled after Star Wars
shareI can see why she did the films but the critical drumming of those films and the way SW fans look down on those films. Didn't do her any favors, she did bounce back with Garden State and Closer. She didn't learn her lesson as she went on to do those Thor films, and she was wasted in those films as well. The one she's not in ends up been on eof the best films from MCU.
shareYes I did forget about the Thor films , which is funny because she was in Star Wars . Was that foreshadowing the Disney purchase ?
shareI think she was only doing the film cause a woman director was signed on to do the first Thor film. But she dropped out and Portman having already signed on had to do the film. You can just tell she's going through the motions in those two films, especially the 2nd Thor film. I think it was before the purchase I believe.
shareuh, you apparently haven't seen her in annihilation. oh my gosh, i've never been as shocked or outraged or disgusted by how old and how ugly an actress has looked in a movie. makeup or no makeup you can't look that old or ugly at 36 years old.
shareoh my gosh. did you see her in annihilation? i've never been more shocked or more disgusted by how old and how ugly an actress has looked in a movie. she was like 36 years old in that movie. makeup or no makeup you can't look that old or ugly at 36 years old.
