Worst Child Actor EVER !!


Dakota Fanning has to win for worst child actor. Between this and her SCREECHING EAR SPLITTING War of the Worlds, I would prefer not to see the movie she is in.

She overacts and thinks histrionics means good acting. My gosh, I 've worked with child actors before and never saw one advance this far.
Must be a shortage.

She's awesome.

Disagree, in this movie I think she was amazing, but yes she was annoying in the War of the Worlds with the screeching, but obviously the director must had asked for that.
She's a good actress, but was terrible in the Twilight series, esp the last one...

Judy Ferland is the best child actor....watch Case 39!!!!!

Dakota Fanning is one of the best. I haven't seen War of the Worlds, but I have seen most of her other movies, and she's an amazing actress.

She's a good little actress but almost preternaturally so. It's almost a little creepy, like she is not a little kid. I actually groaned when I saw her and, oh, another "perfect" performance.

reply

I feel that way too, but I think it's because I first saw her in Sci-Fi's (sy-fy) Taken. She was part alien. Or advanced human. Or something weird.

Take me where I cannot stand.

I thought she was amazing in Trapped. And have you seen her in The Secret Life of Bees????

I'm sorry I disagree. I thought she did a phenomenal job in this movie. I really bought her fear when she ran into the woods and her asthma attacks. I've seen her in other stuff too and I think she's a great actress...then and now.

Really? I thought she was good in this.
