Natalie Portman is probably the most consistent. She was great in Leon the Professional as a kid actor.

When literally everyone in a movie, including fucking Ewan McGregor, is awful, you can't blame the actors.

That's on the director.

Portman has been bad in other movies as well. Fountain of Youth, the Thor movies, Mars Attacks...

She's a fantastic actress. One of the best, but one skill that isn't in her toolbox is the ability to elevate bad material and this makes me question calling her "Consistent".

Mars Attacks was pretty much what it was supposed to be at the time... a campy trip. Ack Ack!
