| Posted By: Blake Marshall Posted On: Aug 22, 2007 Views: 1996 | That Voice Scarlett Johansson is a capable actor and no one could argue that she isn't easy on the eyes; however, her voice leaves much to be desired. I knew there was something about her that I couldn't quite put my finger on until I saw her in Michael Bay's debacle "The Island." That voice! It sounds as if she swallows a Brillo-pad before every scene. Is she a smoker? She crosses the line of a dark femme-fatale siren into the lesser realms of a 50 year old asthmatic bartender. Can anyone else agree with me on this? Adam? Sam? Cheers, ~Blake |

Johansson would have made a great silent movie star--she's beautiful and her face is very expressive, but she reads dialog with no conviction whatsoever. I wonder if they could have someone overdub her lines, like they did for Andie MacDowell in Tarzan. |
| Posted By: Claudie Posted On: Aug 19, 2007 Views: 2207 | Scarlett Johansson: Where did you go? While I loved her in Ghost World and Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring, lately I have found her recent performances to be quite pedestrian and of varied quality - Matchpoint and The Prestige (grating), Scoop and The Black Dahlia (uninteresting) and In Good Company (unexceptional). I love the Scarlett Johansson who played misfits and eccentrics, characters who I could sympathise and respond to. As a sexpot or an ingenue, I don't think she's very effective and unfortunately thats that kind of roles she's been cast in lately. Its a pity that while she's marketed as one of the sexiest, most intriguing actresses today, I now fail to find her remotely interesting or charismatic on-screen. |
| Posted By: Jarret Posted On: Aug 17, 2007 Views: 723 | Scarlett Too many? She averages about two a year. She's one of those people you could accuse of playing the same person almost every time (LiT and GW, for example), but I'm not sure that's her fault. I'm not sure I'd call her amazing, but that's the closest answer. She has a gift for matter-of-fact detachment and a beauty that can be downplayed when needed. |

| Posted By: Michael Posted On: Aug 17, 2007 Views: 551 | She's ok! I am not a huge fan of her acting but she isn't terrible. At the same time she is no where near being great either. I also do not find her as attractive as many do, including my friends. |
| Posted By: Brandon Posted On: Aug 17, 2007 Views: 359 | Meh. I'm not a huge fan of her. I rather liked the job she did in The Prestige. Other than that, I'm not really dying to see her new film. |
| Posted By: skjerva Posted On: Aug 17, 2007 Views: 387 | scarjo none of the choices fit - just don't get it - not talented, not sexy, not keanu. Just saw the trailer for The Nanny Diaries - ugh! |
