I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. She's a bad actress in my opinion, very bad.
She couldn't hold a candle to Charlize Theron or Amie Adams, let alone Renée Zellweger or Scarlett Johansson and forget about Glen Close or Sigourney Weaver, she's not even in the same universe as those.

Cher. She plays an attorney in “Suspect”. I was pleasantly surprised at her skill, and this was a time where “cross-over” was still difficult to get accepted.

I understand why you say that. As a child she was in The Professional. As an adult she was in one of the Avenger movies and was Thor's love interest. I haven't seen her in any other movie.

It doesn't make sense to compare her work as a child to Charlize's portrayal of a woman who killed men she was involved with in The Monster movie which she won an Academy Award for.

I agree that she doesn't hold a candle to Charlize Theron and others you mentioned but you need to realize that Galrad is commenting on her as a child in The Professionals.

thumbs up

I was also pleasantly surprised by her performance in that movie. I don't care for her singing but her acting is very good in my opinion.
Too bad she didn't go on to make more movies.

Well, I guess we respectfully disagree then. Although it was not my intent in this thread to compare actors, some of those you’ve listed, Ive never seen them act and I’ve never seen any of them act in a leading role at a young age. Portman’s acting is excellent in star wars series as well.

I especially like her acting in V for Vendetta too (originally a vision of the future, now appropriate for today.....)

Portman was passable in Star Wars if not mediocre, overshadowed by R2D2, C3P0 and the Jar-Jar Binks actors.
Any young female lead would've done the trick thanks to Lucas's direction.

V for Vendetta is a good movie. Again, Portman’s performance is just OK and very forgettable.

Respectfully, Galrads cheers

I understand why you say that.]
No you don't.
I'm not talking about her acting as a child actress. That would be unfair.
I'm talking about her acting in general. I've seen her in half a dozen movies ( which I didn't see for her but for other reasons ) and, to me, she's not a good actress at all.
It's just my opinion. It has no consequences whatsoever.
