Bryan Cranston. I know i'm gonna get flamed for this, but something is off about his delivery. Trying to finish Breaking Bad finally, and their is an annoying sense that he IS acting out some of his lines and the realism is lost. Show is great, but I find his acting in some scenes distracting.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He wasn't that good in Mission impossible or hunger games. I'm guessing his big roles came from elsewhere.
 
People keep hiring Uma Therman and I dont' know why. Especially when they hire her for the role of "Hot Female Lead". Sorry but, "Woof".

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Al Pacino terrible in the Godfather... Francis Ford Coppola couldn't even get a decent performance out of him...

Sadly outdone for overrated by DeNiro in the sequel...

I don't know. It's not that I think she is great, but they aren't exactly giving her loads of work either other than GoT.

As far as overrated, I'd probably say George Clooney.

I'd say Adam Sandler too simply because of the money studios throw at him, but I think most people are aware he sucks
 
I don't think the OP understands what's going on with some of his acting. A lot of his stuff in the final season was double-acting, playing people against people by deliberately betraying his true feelings, motivations, and actions while making people think/blame others.

A second viewing once you already know what's going on makes it appear absolute genius:
his relenting to turn Jack's men on Jessie after expressing repeated reluctance was well done. His confrontation with Hank was perfect. He was especially powerful when he is crying while simultaneously saying hurtful things to his wife to exonerate her from suspicion because he knows the authorities are listening. He didn't even need dialog in a slightly earlier scene where the kidnapped baby starts asking for mama and he has a reaction (the baby was unscripted/unedited, BTW, so he had to react to that and NAIL it in one take).

Even season 4 while he's begging for Jessie to spare his life while still lying through his teeth:
sounds like acting because the character is supposed to be acting. Criticizing such acting as "unrealistic" is actually praising it (the character is a liar, not a professional actor).

Don't know what your beef with him is, but take it up with him, not in here.

Who honestly expected to see good acting in the Hunger Games movies?

Wasn't "based on a teen fic" and "Hollywood blockbuster" enough clues for you?

Maybe. I honestly haven't seen her in anything else.

Overrated actors, always a difficult one to judge, after all, many actors need to be 'pushed' sufficiently by a good director with a decent vision in order to give it their best, that is assuming that they were right for the role in the first place.
 
I hate the actors/actresses that are most loved by everyone else. It's why I am a badass.

Seriously though Cranston is amazing. He was even great in Godzilla, despite them killing him off half way through and ruining the movie. I haven't even watched Breaking Bad and I know this. In fact everyone knows this...
