The Hateful Eight: I felt that Kurt Russell's channeling of John Wayne's True Grit character was the one performance which hampered an otherwise rock-solid, airtight cast. Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins and the rest of the cast were all outstanding, yet performance wise, and perhaps talentwise, Russell lagged behind those other actors.
My Man Godfrey: Carole Lombard. She was gorgeous and had some good comedic moments in this film, but for the most part her performance was not up to the level of what William Powell, Alice Brady, Mischa Auer, and Eugene Pallette accomplished in this classic film.

I thought Russell was just fine in 8. Didn't get a Wayne vibe.
Sam J gave his all time best performance!

Ditto Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. He was especially weak in his scenes opposite Russell Crowe.
Really? I thought he was phenomenal in the role and the best thing about the film.
He looked intimidated and out of his league. Don't get me wrong, though; he's since become a tremendous actor.

He was awful in THE MASTER (OSCAR nominated, of course)

Please confine your picks to film. Otherwise we'll find ourselves in Tina Yothers and Jeremy Miller territory.
I have.no idea who those people are but I will comply.
It's hard to think of film ensembles; much easier to mention tv

Sam Clafin in the most recent adaptation of My Cousin Rachel.
While I realize it would be unfair to compare his performance to that of Richard Burton in the 50’s adaptation, he just came off as wooden next to Rachel Weisz and everything else in the movie.

I feel like maybe that was intentional? I get that some of his lines are a little stilted but I think he was suppose to be scared of Maximus.

I always thought Jason Robards
was a weak link in OUTIW.
Bronson...Cardinale... Fonda... Wynn..Ferzetti all great.
Jason, not so much.
