Honestly,I don't think Madonna is that bad as an actress.Yes,she has had her share of flops,but she has also had her share of decent performances too.For example,I love her in 'Whos' That Girl'.I really don't see anything wrong with her performance in that film.Some of her movies would be bad no matter who starred in them: the campy 'Body Of Evidence' is a prime example.This proves that she doesn't always pick the right roles.

Maddy has correctly pointed out that,because of who she is,people don't take her seriously as an actress.Her superstar persona tends to overwhelm any movie project that she is involved in.It suddenly becomes a "Madonna movie",even though there are other actors in the movie with her (lol).She has to (unfairly) carry the weight if the film should fail."I get blamed for everything",she once said.

But having said that,I really think she should make it easy on herself and just stick to small supporting roles.She got great reviews for her performances in films like 'Dick Tracy' and 'A League Of Their Own'....films in which she was a team player,and not the star.She could gain alot more credibility if she stuck to these types of roles.She could show the world that she is serious about acting,and that she is not some ego-driven music superstar who is desperate to win an Oscar (lol).

Madonna is not a good actress, but i love her films just cause of her being in them.

I will always forgive her acting just because of Evita. That movie has touched me in ways like no other.

What a piss-poor excuse. There are superstars who are able to transcend their images on a regular basis and actually act. She is not one of them.

"I've done eleven movies---twelve if you count 'Truth Or Dare'.I think that half of them are good,and half of them are shit.But honestly,I can name Academy-Award winning actors and actresses who have done more shit films than I have"---Madonna,in the mid-90s.


hey,at least she has a sense of humor about the whole thing

I'd be lying if I said I loved her movies,but I do enjoy watching them from time to time.Several of her films are fun to watch...'Body Of Evidence' is so deliciously campy and silly (like "Showgirls"),it's a cool Friday night film.'Dangerous Game' is provocative,and like I said before,'Who's That Girl' is a late-80s classic.Like Prince's 'UTCM',it's not nearly as bad as it's reputation suggests.

Oddly enough,the one Madonna movie that I can't tolerate is actually one of her most successful films: 'Desperately Seeking Susan'.Really shitty film.Not necessarily because of Madonna's performance....the whole thing sucks.

Antonio Banderas in whatever category

I love DSS, how dare you David. It's all about Into the Groove.

DavidEye said:

Wait a minute...you love "Who's That Girl" but hate "Dangerously Seeking Susan"? Shit, no wonder you think Madonna's not that bad of an actress.

Oh come on...'Who's That Girl' is a good movie and you know it.It had some truly funny scenes.The only good thing about 'Desperately Seeking Susan'? It's theme song: "Into The Groove"

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah,but this is Madonna we're talking about here.Her pop/music/superstar image is massive.That's some image to "transcend",dontcha think? I'm not defending her,but I do kinda agree with her point.The solution is to do smaller supporting roles.Let someone else be the "star" of the film.Nearly every supporting role she has played thus far has been well-received.

Dangerously Seeking Susan is a good film, Who's That Girl is shite
