2. Halle Berry - Storm

Alexandra Shipp may have complained about how little she was given to do while playing Storm for X-Men: Dark Phoenix but she may have her predecessor to blame for it more than the film-makers. Because Halle Berry's Storm is one of the worst things about the original X-Men series.

Her Storm is unfortunately stunted, boring and boasts an accent that wanders all over the world. Admittedly, she had poor scripts to work with (even when other characters were written well in the same movie) and had some of the worst lines to deliver, but the performance could still have been far better.

And it's not like Storm is a bad character, it's just that Berry's performance renders her neither interesting nor engaging and she never seemed to understand the tone of the movies.
