3. Lost in Space (1998)
Before donning a GCPD badge as James Gordon in Nolans Bat-verse, Gary Oldman was known widely as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series. Longer ago than that even, Oldman made a mark as Sid Viscous in 1986s Sid and Nancy, made a mark as Lee Harvey Oswald in the historically inaccurate Oliver Stone directed JFK and became a household name with his 1992 portrayal of Dracula. He gained even more respect with his moving portrayal of Ludwig Van Beethoven in 1994s Immortal Beloved. Widely thought of as one of the best actors of his time, even Gary Oldman is not immune from making bad choices when taking a role. Something were reminded of when screening the 1998 screen adaptation of Lost in Space in which Oldman portrayed Dr. Smith. It was referred to as the Iceberg when it premiered---ostensibly because it ousted Titanic from its perch at #1, when in reality it may be because one could drive the Titanic through the plot holes in this film. While it was a commercial success, it was panned by critics---receiving a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes---though Oldmans performance was nominated for a Saturn Award in the Best Supporting Actor category. This film taught us that Gary Oldman can be the best part of a bad movie and were sure it taught him a lesson about which roles to choose.
