17 Actors Who Hated Their Own Films, From Robert Pattinson to Cher

Fox was pretty honest about how she felt about the Transformers films, stating that starring in one wasn’t exactly about an “acting experience” and that the second one was so confusing that only a genius could understand the plot. She also compared the film’s director, Michael Bay, Hitler. She was not in the third film.

The Oscar winner didn’t always do such great films — in her opinion, at least. She told Esquire that her 2000 film Reindeer Games a “bad, bad movie.” And she’s not wrong.

Curtis can easily name the worst movie she has ever done, and it’s the 1999 flick Virus. She called the film a “piece of shit movie” and said that the experience of making it was “dreadful.”

Even Wahlberg admits that his 2008 film The Happening is awful. Guess he also didn’t understand the whole “the trees make people commit suicide” twist, either.

Pitt told Newsweek that his 1998 film The Devil’s Own was the “most irresponsible bit of filmmaking” he had ever seen. Luckily for audiences, he said that before the movie actually hit theaters.

Schwarzenegger has no love for his 1985 film Red Sonja. He considers the film so brutal that he joked he would punish his children by making them watch it.

Rourke told Vulture that his film Passion Play is a “terrible movie.” It currently averages a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Former 80s teen star Cusack hated his film Better Off Dead so much that he allegedly walked off set and told the director to “never speak to [him] again.”

Alba has said that Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer made her want to quit acting, mainly because the film’s director, Tim Story, didn’t really seem to care about getting a good performance out of the actress. Which would explain everything about Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

I guess a pun in the title can only take a movie so far. Franco has publicly bashed his stoner/medieval times comedy Your Highness, stating that the movie “sucks.”

Academy Award winning actress Berry doesn’t just get awards for her great performances — she’s also scored one for a terrible one. Berry happily accepted the Razzie for her 2007 trainwreck of a film Catwoman,

Pattinson thinks Twilight is ridiculous, like pretty much everyone else in the world. Check out this amazing super cut of Pattinson talking about how idiotic he thinks the franchise is… while promoting the franchise.

Damon admitted that he wasn’t so sure that the third film in the Bourne franchise should have been made at all, and claimed that the first draft of the script was so bad that it would have been “career ending.”

Goode can’t stand his rom com Leap Year — which he starred in alongside Amy Adams — and isn’t shy about saying that the only reason he took it was so he could visit family in the UK and still get paid.

Megan Fox wasn’t the only one to talk smack on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Star LaBeouf has said that he “wasn’t impressed” by what they did with the sequel. It wasn’t the first movie he dissed — he admitted that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull wasn’t a great effort, either.

Cher didn’t think that her 2010 musical Burlesque was anything to write home about, stating that she thought her character was “one-dimensional” and that both the script and the direction were “terrible.”
