Colin Farrell (Alexander)

Instead of choosing Colin Farrell’s laughably bad Bullseye in Daredevil performance, we’re going with the Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great, who is regarded as one of the greatest conquerors in history.

Although a number of elements contributed to the film’s failure, one of the biggest issues was Farrell’s choice to play Alexander, who disappointed viewers expecting to see a strong, ambitious commander.

Shia LaBeouf (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)

Shia LaBeouf’s portrayal of Sam Witwicky in the first live-action Transformers movie won over many viewers. Fans, however, demanded his removal as soon as he made a comeback for the 2009 sequel.

Sam spends the majority of Revenge of the Fallen yelling, going insane, and generally being obnoxious, which is debatably where Shia LaBeouf’s pattern of odd behavior began. Not quite the type of human the Autobots required to end the world’s destruction.
