13 Gloriously Hammy Performances In Comic Book Movies
10. Gerard Butler (300)
Zack Snyders lurid interpretation of the Frank Miller comic book miniseries earned him a reputation for stylish action sequences and box office success which likely won him the directors chair for Man of Steel, but 300s leading man isnt overshadowed by Snyders odder directorial flourishes. In part thats simply because Butlers ability to bellow unconvincing lines of dialogue rivals even Brian Blesseds; its no accident that 300 spawned so many memes. Any number of action flicks have silly scripts, but its Butlers unflinching commitment to roaring Leonidas lines that we have to thank for the films enduring popularity seven years later. Thats a dubious honour if ever there was one.
