The Greatest Actors in the Worst Comic Book Movies

Which of these talented thespians do you think most slummed it for a comic book movie paycheck?

rank title points votes your vote
1 Samuel L. Jackson, The Spirit (2008)
<p>Jackson seems to enjoy his role here as the Nazi uniform-wearing, egg pun-spouting villain, but he's the only delight in a debacle of a flick.</p> 35 89
2 Sean Connery, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
<p>Connery starred in this mess of an adaptation, then went into exile leaving one of the worst scif flicks of the decade as his swan song.</p> 29 97
3 Faye Dunaway, Supergirl (1984)
<p>Dunaway's witch wandered in from a live-action Disney movie, casting spells on hunks and enjoying picnics with her butler.</p> 12 80
4 Martin Sheen, Spawn (1997)
<p>Sheen is perfectly cast for his role in this irritating, dated mess of a movie that reads like a checklist of bad '90s movie tropes.</p> 12 76
5 Dennis Hopper, The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)
<p>In this fourth Crow movie Hopper plays a Satanic cult leader named "El Nino." Apparently, the Easy Rider doesn't know when to say no.</p> 3 71
6 Terence Stamp, Elektra (2006)
<p>The man known as General Zod takes on the aged mentor role here, which is as forgettable as the movie itself.</p> 1 71
7 Ned Beatty, Captain America (1990)
<p>Poor Beatty goes from Lex Luthor's sidekick to getting ditched by JD Salinger's son in one of the worst comic book movies ever.</p> 0 62
8 William H. Macy, Mystery Men (1999)
<p>Macy's deadpan Shoveler is the best part of this broad, messy comedy that's aged about as well as it Smash Mouth soundtrack.</p> -2 78
9 Naomi Watts, Tank Girl (1995)
<p>Watts is the only actor who came out of this train wreck unscathed. (Tank Girl herself hasn't been heard from since.)</p> -5 63
10 John Malkovich, Art School Confidential (2006)
<p>Malkovich's art teacher provides the few laughs in this flick that lacks Ghost World's winning mix of pathos and snark.</p> -6 58
