rank title points votes your vote
1 Shaquille O'Neal
Rather than a smart, urban superhero spun off from Superman, Shaquille O'Neal's Steel is a radioactive club bouncer. 150 326
2 Halle Berry
Berry’s pseudo-mystical Catwoman won her a "Worst Actress" Razzie; then she destroyed the X-Men series with her borrrinng supporting character, Storm. 129 349
3 Nicolas Cage
Cage used his usual Elvis impersonation on Ghost Rider and gave Blaze bizarre tics, like a jelly bean fixation. 78 344
4 George Clooney
Clooney has a recurring role in the headache-inducing Spy Kids series, but his role in Batman & Robin made grown comic fans weep. 64 310
5 Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman's character in My Super Ex-Girlfriend is as uninformed as her turn as latex-clad Emma Peel in The Avengers. 46 284
6 Jennifer Garner
Garner turned the deadly Elektra into a doe-eyed romantic lead in Daredevil, then played her as a compassionate hit-woman in Elektra-- a mess of contradictions. 37 281
7 Chris Evans
Fantastic Four is made even worse by Evans' relentlessly sarcastic Human Torch. He turned cool Turtle, Casey, into a snarky whiner in <i>TMNT</i>. -4 266
8 Dolph Lundgren
Like Schwarzenegger without catch-phrases, Lundgren is the worst Punisher ever, and mangled Masters of the Universe (as He-Man, no less) and Universal Soldier. -4 256
9 Ben Stiller
Even Stiller's tough-guy caricatures are unbearable: His action hero in Tropic Thunder is overwrought and his Mr. Furious in Mystery Men is pathetic. -4 296
10 Sean Connery
Connery was a large part of the big-screen debacle The Avengers and his leading man in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen derailed his career. -41 275
