13 Worst Performances In Otherwise Awesome Blockbusters
11. Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) - Pirates Of The Caribbean
The Movie: The movie that catapulted Johnny Depp to superstardom like even he never expected while earning him an Oscar nomination along the way. A thrilling swashbuckling adventure...which to date has given way to four needless sequels.
The Performance: After his success as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings movies, Bloom was cast as the dashing, steely hero here, but the problem is that despite his good looks, Bloom just isn't especially charismatic or likeable in this movie.
He's a stern a**hole without any semblance of charm, such that it's hard to buy into any potential romance with Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Swann, who honestly has a much more entertaining rapport with Depp's Jack Sparrow (who incidentally runs away with the entire movie).
Any time Bloom tries to play Will as serious and assertive, it's hard to keep a straight face, and despite this, he's set to appear in the upcoming fifth movie after sitting out the fourth.
