20 Worst Movie Performances Of The Decade
19. Kellan Lutz As Hercules - The Legend Of Hercules
This one serves as proof that a ripped physique can never distract from an awful performance.
This dreadful fantasy flick bombards audiences with slow-motion shots of Kellan Lutz and his bronzed abs fighting and flying through the air, but viewers know bad acting when they see it, as indicated by this performance getting two highly deserved Razzie nominations. Lutz was not only nominated for Worst Actor but also for Worst Screen Combo: "Kellan Lutz and either his abs his pecs or his glutes in The Legend of Hercules." It's a sad comment that that line alone is more entertaining than anything Lutz does in the movie.
Kellan Lutz, who is best known for playing one of Edward Cullen's brothers in the Twilight films, is not so much wooden as asleep throughout The Legend of Hercules. He's little more than a zombie with abs and it's impossible to engage with such an uncharismatic performance, making The Legend of Hercules an unusually disconnected viewing experience.
Kellan Lutz has barely been in anything since this disastrous leading role and that isn't exactly a surprise.
