She's real solid and can be very good at times...... But she was horrible as catwoman, and Storm was unforgivable......... So basically if she's not playing a comic book character, she's straight........

Losing Isaiah and Dorothy D. performances>>>>.than a lot of so called hot actresses right now

Never had a problem with her. She's good in most of stuff she does. Never understood the hatred she brings out of some people. Of course Catwoman was bad and she gets a lot of criticism for Storm but she wasn't the only character in those early X-Men films that wasn't true to the comics so i don't blame her for that:yeshrug:

i wouldnt say she's a terrible actress (she was great as the crackhead in jungle fever, dorothy dandridge, and losing isaiah) but i do feel she picks movies that arent that great or very mediocre...i used to fap good on that monster's ball scene tho :banderas:

Since its across the board that our expectations weren't met with Storm, off topic but do you think ole girl who played Aaliyah will do a better job?

As bad as it is to say since i at least respect Halle,i will say i dont think she can do no worse:mjlol:...she just looks less like Storm than Halle Berry already did,hope she at least get a tan for the movie:francis:

But i look at Halle like this,shes never really been bad in anything she shouldve never been casted to be in in the first place....suprised you like Baps,its uncomfortable to watch,Halle playing that overly exaggerated hood chick is just extra akward for some reason:mjlol:..she can play a hood chick but the spoof of a hood chick just didnt work for sum reason,it could just be the fact the movie was trash though:manny:

She lost me for a minute with Monsters Ball but ive had time to heal:mjcry:...it prevents her from being my goat but she back in my top 5 now:wow:

Yeah she was dope in Losing Isaih,movies underated as a matter of fact....I'd put her probaly slightly above Beyonce far as acting chops but not Gabrielle Union or anything....most women as bad as Halle would simply rely on looks though,she need sum extra credit points:banderas:...sumbody mentioned Merly Streep,yeah well look at her:heh:

just seen Cadillac Records the other night,and she was good in Dream Girls and that movie she fought that white girl over Idris Elba:pachaha:...Beyonce and Halle are closer in skill level than when you try to compare her to our great black actresses...shes top 5 cuz i factored in looks if that wasnt clear before:whoa:

i think beyonce better than alot of people give her credit for,and Halle probaly gets a little more credit than she deserve....maybe thats why the comparison appears blashemous:patrice:?

Her best acting was in her youth when she portrayed "black characters" in "black films" Boomerang might be her best and Strictly Business and Jungle Fever ware right after that.

I thought she was really good in Queen and Introducing Dorothy Danridge.

When she has subject matter she can relate to, she is really good.

Her best role to date has been Dorothy Dandridge. She KILLLED that role.

Also she was underrated in Their Eyes Were Watching God
I haven't seen that one cause when it came out I had a HUGE crush on Michael Elay. Couldn't take them in the love scenes, lol
