Scarlett Johansson

[andy-hughes]

I know no-one should judge any actress on one film alone, but I am absolutely staggered to read that SJ is the highest paid actress in the world, and heading for Oscar status yet again, and she has also been judged Tenth in a 'Most Beautiful Woman In The World' poll.

I must be seriously not seeing what everyone else sees!

Last night I watched the film Lucy, and my increasing annoyance at the ever-increasing levels of pretention in the utter tosh of this film, was distracted only by the one-dimensional acting of Ms. Johansson who delivered her forgettable lines with the skill and passion of a speak-your-weight machine, all the time looking like she had been told to smile when just shot in the back with a poison arrow.

As to her much vaunted beauty, we all are what we are, and what I see is a woman with a face that looks like it is moulded in plasticine with with a wonky nose, and mis-shapen lips.

I remain therefore mystified to this person's appeal as a giant acting talent, or a beautiful woman - anyone who disagrees, feel free to point out what I am clearly not getting when I see her on screen.

Not fit to clean the boots of Ali King, andy!

[andy-hughes]

Indeed - but few women are!!!

[douglas9401]

Well she's no Vorderman................

[Georgiesmum]

Ive heard of her but have no idea at all what she looks like so I cannot comment on her looks, sorry
.

[ummmm]

How judgemental are you?!!

[emmie]

i don't find her all that attractive, she can't hold a candle to Julia Roberts, who still looks beautiful.

[emmie]

at 52...

[ummmm]

We all find different people attractive but there's nothing wrong with her looks.

I can't talk about her acting skills as I'm not sure I've seen a film she's been in.

[emmie]

she was in Lost in Translation with Bill Murray

[weecalf]

Are they still making films Seems ages since we watched Educating Rita apose thats 10-15 years ago now .

[emmie]

Educating Rita was made in 1983......

I know several men who think she's absolutely gorgeous. She played the young girl in the Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford when just a teen and was very good in that. I really liked the film Lucy.

ummmm - // How judgemental are you?!! //

I am not sure that expressing an opinion is being 'judgmental'.

I have views on both Ms Johansson's attraction quotient as a woman, and her abilities as an actress, neither of which I am overly enamoured with.

But it is just an opinion - and as advised, other people find differently.

emmie - // she was in Lost in Translation with Bill Murray //

As I recall, that was a Titnaically lousy movie with indifferent delivery of a numbingly boring script as well.

Funnily enough Lucy is one of the few films I’ve ever seen and I thought both it and she were very good.
A film with a plot like that will probably divide people.

I enjoyed the premise of the film, it was the waste of Morgan Freeman, drafted in to give his throw-away role some seriously needed ballast to a sinking ship, it was the way the music volume and intensity racked up in direct correlation to the pretension of the plot line, and the increasing tendency for Ms Johannson to phone in her dialogue with entirely justified and increasing indifference as the film ground on.

I've seen a few of her film, Girl with the Pearl Earing, The Other Boleyn Girl and lots of Marvel films.

I think it may be the Marvel films that have made her into the highest paid actress.

[emmie]

can't see the appeal to be honest

I enjoyed her in 'We bought a zoo'

Being in the industry and working since long time and putting so much efforts and then being nominated for oscar I guess that's a huge thing. It is all about how much she has done in her career so we should not judge her when we do not know her side of story.
