Speaking of James Bond …
A few looks at Ursula Andress in Dr. No. Re-watching it just now, I was struck by how low-tech it was. Damn, 1962 was long ago. Weird trivia: Joseph Wiseman (Dr. No) and Jack Lord (CIA man Felix Leiter, Bond’s ally) were in high school together. Joseph Wiseman was a…

Just a terrible actress. Unpopular opinion, I guess.
I don’t know how popular the opinion is, but it’s a wrong opinion. She’s a perfectly ok actress. Not great but not terrible either. She neither elevates the movies she’s in or makes them worse.
I would say that she has exhibited greatness, or at least, “very goodness”. You have to look back at movies like Serena, where she just disappears into the character. I think that no actor should be judged in Marvel comics movies, or slapstick comedies. I get a kick when reviewers pan a DC or Marvel movie. It’s based on a comic book you pompous gets. Jeez.
Yes, comic-book properties are to movies what disco was to music. They should be killed with fire. But we’re missing the point, I think.
When she essays the part of ‘chick showing her bush’ or ‘hot babe with an amazing ass’, she really inhabits the role for me. Where a lesser artist might phone it in, Jennifer makes the character live – nay, sing!
She’s fantastic in Winter’s Bone, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and, especially, mother!
Jennifer Lawrence, like other celebrities, suffers from that old problem of fame… A person becomes so famous that people start to forget or snub the talent that the artist truly possesses, or the artist themselves ends up forgetting their origins and doing things more automatically, without the same care and talent, just a product to be consumed. This happened to Jennifer; her first performances were quite good, so much so that she was nominated for an Oscar while still very young and before she was famous. But then she started making blockbuster franchises, comedy films, and then the public decided that she wasn’t that talented after all. She herself forgot about it a little, or she just lived on autopilot since it was working and she was making a lot of money. Not to mention that many people disliked the jokes she made and her personality, which ended up generating antipathy from many.
The only work I’m familiar with her is the original Fappening and she was fuckin’ brilliant.
