The other day i was watching Fantastic Four and there were two recurring thoughts going through my head.

The first was: Man Jessica Alba is frickin' HOT! :hyper: :drool:

The second was: Man, Jessica Alba is a Bad Actress :( :crying:

She's really gotta be one of the worst actresses I have ever seen. I used to watch Dark Angel for a couple of episodes and she sucked big time in that too.

But, yeah. What do you guys think?

As long as she stays in the back and dances I have no problem with her acting.... (sin city) :D

I thought she was ok in Sin City. Otherwise, no.

Well, she was very good in Dark Angel back in the days and she was alright in Sin City. Other than that I don't really know - I can come up with actors/actresses much worse than Jessica Alba.

It's kind or irrelevant to me. :) Even if she gives an Oscar-winning performance, I'm not going to be focusing entirely on her acting.

But she's not bad. I thought she was pretty decent in Sin City, and she wasn't as bad as Paul Walker in, um, that film with the water and the treasure. I can't remember what it was called. It was that good.

No, I don't think she can act.

I also don't think it's a lack of determination or anything. I think a lot of people confuse the desire to act with the talent to act. Jessica Alba does not have the talent.

That's a very interesting point Miriel.

Seeing as I've only seen her in an episode of "Entourage" where she was essentially playing herself, and I believed that she was indeed Jessica Alba, I'll need to see more of her work before I can give a good opinion.

Take care all.

don't know...sometimes it's hard for me to recognize poor acting skill, sometimes it's very plain for me to see....thinking about jessica alba doesn't send up a warning flag of bad acting in my mind...but that's probably because all of her performances are pretty much forgetable, like in the case of sin city where the rest of the film was so well-executed that i didn't care, or in a movie like idle hands or fantastic four, where the movie was so bad that bad acting is either expected or i was already numbed by the crappiness of what i was watching.

I think she has abs worth the envy of everybody and is indeed gorgeous - but no, I don't think can act. I don't even think she takes herself seriously as an "actor". Her roles certainly don't represent any talent she may have for acting.

I like Dark Angel :( Ok she's not brilliant but her part at that serial was good... I haven't seen her on the other films!

She is not the best actress, but at least she's not as bad as Brigitte Nielsen.

It doesn't matter if she can act or not. Her hotness overrides that.

I used to think she was awesome back in Dark Angel, but that was when I was like 11 or something. So obviously I wasn't paying attention that. :D I also used to think she was really, really beautiful, but ever since she went way tan and blonde, yuck.

That "treasure island" movie she made with Paul Walker was one I knew enough to stay away from, because I knew it would be crap. Yet, when my brother suggested it at the video store, I had no objections.

It was worth sitting through the inept-ness of it, for the opportunity to see her in a bathing suit with her butt front and center.

I mean, you realise that the only reason that movie was made was because of the various eye candy involved?

They could just as well have had the same cast playing naked croquet for two hours, and it would have done just as well.

She's decent, I guess. There have been actors and actresses whose performances have been weaker than hers. Her role in Sin City wasn't that bad, either.
