10 Bad Movies That Wasted Fantastic Ensemble Casts (Screenrant)

"High-profile movies tend to stack their casts with as many A-listers as possible, resulting in some that have amazing ensemble casts & completely waste them. In contrast to movies that handle ensembles well, these lesser movies act as though the mere presence of so many stars is enough to make it a success and ensure its longevity. However, screen time is divided poorly among the stars, individual characters aren't complex enough to merit such an actor playing them, or the movie is just below the people who are in it. The best ensemble TV shows of all time at least have the luxury of enough screen time to get to everyone eventually, while ensemble movies have to be more strategic about it. Screen Rant's 'Borderlands' review, similar to other assessments, argues that the actors are making a huge effort, but the movie just isn't that great. Such is the problem with bad movies starring too many great actors, not giving any of them the material they need to truly shine." - screenrant.com
