10 Worst Performances In 2017 Movies (So Far)
7. Charlie Hunnam - King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword
By now, you'd think Hollywood would know that Charlie Hunnam simply isn't destined to be a strong leading man.
He barely registered in Pacific Rim and his performance in Green Street is basically a 90 minute blooper reel, but like Sam Worthington before him, the powers-that-be seem intent on shaping him into the next big thing.
But - again, like Sam Worthington - he'll surely fall off the grid at some point, and historical flop King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword could be the movie that does it.
Hunnam turns in a brooding performance that never once convinces you that this guy is the mighty King Arthur. Instead, he feels like an easily-replaceable Geordie bruiser, someone who's handy in a fight but doesn't possess the underlying nobility, wisdom or shrewdness that a true leader should.
In a way, this performance is representative of Hunnam's entire career; he's not the compelling leader that King Arthur should be, and like most of his other starring roles, he's failed to provide any indication that he deserves a spot at the forefront of a movie poster.
