Thoughts on Jenna Ortega as an actress?

[smahala1991]

I think she's a pretty good actress. She's lovely too.

[CrimsonAngel09]

I never seen her in anything.

She kind of reminds me of Sam (Worthington?) Guy was suddenly popular for a bit since Avatar then died down in popularity it seems.

Makes me wonder if it's the same way with her, being she's pretty popular in Wednesday and is now in a new Scream movie as well.

[smahala1991]

That's kinda her gimmick is that she plays in horror movies

[Kaneki05]

She's got talent unlike most people who become famous by such normies lol
Then obviously attractive and she's not one to be scared of what she says more genuine, if sticks to her word that Wednesday S2 will be more Horror and no romance then she will stay in my good book.
If that turns out be a false promise it will for sure hurt what I think of her. And I really hope she only does stuff that she know will be good or glady say it was shit herself like she did with S1 writers lol.

[MysticDevice]

I've only seen her in Wednesday but she pretty much nailed the role to perfection as far as I'm concerned.

She also did cello, fencing, dancing, and German lessons to prepare for the role. So I'd say she's pretty above average as far as most actresses go. But she's still early in her career. So we'll see if she improves or not.

[Genie23]

I liked her in Step up movie. I haven't seen her in any other movies. She was such a natural. Really good actor and amazing dancerm

[MementoMori777]

She sold her soul recently, I can tell, she's everywhere, that doesn't just happen naturally, because what trends all depends on what's mutted on the media, what did she do to get up there, only one thing I can't think of.

[MementoMori777]

This is just some of the results of not properly guiding our youth, the seed was already planted, it's now just blooming

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Overrated actress. She plays the same character in all of her roles as if she was just playing as herself. She has no range whatsoever.

[DizzyDesii]

I've only seen her in Scream and X. Pretty overrated in my opinion. I dont see her as the next scream queen but whatever

[ILoveAnime]

I really liked her in X although she didn't have a big appearance.

[PhantomMenace22]

I find her mediocre; like she is kinda trying way too hard, when she's acting and her lines are delivered so unnaturally to me. Also, I find it creepy that some people consider her hot, since she looks like a 15 year old

[AngryCarl2]

Dude she's 22.

[PhantomMenace22]

it doesn't matter, she still looks underage, so this means you're also attracted to girls young enough to be your daughter, which is creepy

[EricSummer]

She's never going to be the real Wednesday girl. She is too conventionally pretty.

Also, is this not cultural appropriation? I'm of the pale European type and shouldn't the Addams Family be, too? How are they suddenly Latino?

[Wraith_Cemetery]

The mention of Spanish descent goes back to the 1960s version of The Addams Family.

[EricSummer]

Thanks for pointing this out. The father is called Gomez as well. I checked that he is meant to be Castilian American, but he was portrayed by a Puerto Rican already back then. Jenna Ortega is of Mexican descent.
From a European perspective I find it weird that one of our countries, Spain, counts as a different "race" in the U. S. in contrast to, say, France or Italy. And what actually is the status of Portugal in this?
I think it just goes to show that the concept of "race" makes no sense in the first place, and I'm fine with Wednesday being played by anyone, pale or not.

[Boomchakalaca]

She’s pretty and cute. She nailed the dancing on adams family. She took months of cello training to play on the show. She also said her dance moves were incorporated into the old adamas family

[Emii_Urashima]

I like her as Wednesday. I have not seen her other acting roles. She is really pretty, too.

[smahala1991]

She's supposed to be in Beetlejuice 2

[Jemini_Crocket]

I'm extremely tired of seeing her everywhere. Lookswise? She's nothing special/unique for me, just a typical looking girl these days.

[Mangospacho]

She was great on SNL for the Waffle House skit

[Apulu_Imback]

I really loved her work as Wednesday, it's like that character was made for her. I'm a huge fan!

[Simslover92]

She's a pretty good actress. I loved her as Wednesday.

[AaronKrieger]

I've only seen her in a few stuff and she does a good job in each role she does.

[electromagnetic]

I haven’t seen any of her work. Just know about her playing Wednesday.

[sirderpsalot123]

She was terrible in Scream. I think she was just an ok Wednesday because that's just how she is.

[Pudsmucker]

I thought she was pretty good and playing the part as Wednesday in the weekly series Wednesday. She could hold her composer, during some of her macabre type humor.

[ChiTown33]

Not impressed. The only movie I've seen of her's is a slasher movie called "X". It was pretty stupid.

[Agent_Elflord]

I wouldn’t know, I’ve only briefly seen a couple scenes with her as young Jane in the Flashback scenes in Jane the Virgin.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh yea i forgot she was jane lmao

[DancingQueen16]

I think she's really talented because I've been a fan of her since she was Disney Channel

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Oy my goth, great! Wednesday season I I loved. The title character got the moves and feelings. 🖤

[Friendlybro79]

She was fantastic in Wednesday. She will have a great career.

[Rockstarrrrr]

It's like Zendaya all over again... I totally don't get it lol

[DizzyDesii]

I loooove zendaya as a dancer and i love her personality which is more like when she was in Shake It Up. But man her dull acting in all these films and shows is not it 🤣 I wish she’d do something to compliment her acting because she was dull af in the first few spidey movies. Her show where she's on drugs is just weird af. I mean did she even speak in that boring ass film Dune lmao. I fastforwarded so much i hardly remember. The Greatest Showman was fine but she had no chemistry with ole dude. Again i love her as a dancer and fashionista bt acting has not show up in my opinion. And to have her voice Lola Bunny... nah why they do lola like that. I don't know she has so much character and personality but never takes on rolls that compliment that. And as for Tom, he's kinda going backwards in a way. He played In the Heart of the Sea and The Impossible sooo well but i dont think he could play a good spidey. And Uncharted was basically Spidey 2.0. Chaos Walking had the acting downpacked but w boring storyline. I don't know Both of them are so great outside of their films but mediocre in film

[Rockstarrrrr]

@DizzyDesii lol exactly... I think zendaya, Jenna Ortega, Billie Eilish are popular because Gen Z seems to love the sassy quirky queens xD... Tom Holland tho... He's supposedly a grown ass man and he acts exactly like a teen all the time Lmao... That's why he has a big obnoxious audience just like them 😆.. I just can't get with generation Z... Maybe I'm starting to get old xD... And p. s : I thought the dune movie was boring af on the first run but after the second one I really got into the world and I keep rewatching some scenes.. It's just like most of denis villeneuve's movies.. a slow ( sometimes very slow xD ) burn... He has a different style...

[DizzyDesii]

But tom and zendaya are both 26. I think they’re a great fit for eachother and i love his goofy personality. But drama films are what he's best at. Spiderman was not it. I like some of Billies songs but she creeps me out in general. And you say you're getting old but we’re bothh close in age with them lmao, you even more so. Dune was soooo boring! The graphics and cast were beautiful and the worm scene was fun but thats all.

[Rockstarrrrr]

@DizzyDesii yeah that's what I'm saying they're " quirky " for their age that's why they're popular with teens lol... And we're not old 😆 but I just don't get with Gen Z... Funny thing I absolutely hated the first dune movie, I had to go to imdb and give it a bad review ( a lot of people agreed xD )... But here I am and dune part 2 is my most anticipated movie this year lol... Like I said his movies are such a slow burn.. Or maybe that's just my bipolar me taking over 😆😆..

[DizzyDesii]

I couldnt bring myself to even give Dune 2 a try lol. And i agree gen z isn't for me. I get along with way more millenials

[Rockstarrrrr]

@DizzyDesii ah such a shame... I love your movie reviews.. Gonna miss it on dune 😅... They even got a better cast this time.. Think about it... We still have some time 🥺😆...

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh you did the puppy dog eyes! Hahaha I’ll consider it for sure

[Rockstarrrrr]

@DizzyDesii hehe yes...

[Wise4myage]

So far, so good. I thought she did a good job.

[Fuentes]

Her head being to big is questionable for me

[AngryCarl2]

I've never seen her acting but she comes across well in interviews.

[Quackthulu2]

I find her irritating.

[VIVANT]

Wasn’t going to say this and now I do not have to 😂

[Quackthulu2]

@VIVANT Glad I could help lol.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Yeah, likewise. Her face annoys me lol.

[Quackthulu2]

@Wraith_Cemetery Her personality annoys me.

[izzyisabella]

She is so pretty and talented i’m cryingg

[Shetotallylovespink]

100/100 I grew up watching her and her shows, as in my opinion I say she's the best actresses out of all of them.

[peedy]

She does make the perfect Wednesday

[LovrUFFAllls]

I enjoyed her work as Wednesday

[Drewtate]

Hurting for a squirtting

[Paulalove98]

I think she’s talented for sure.

[Nikki1989]

Never heard of her.

[Xtendable]

She’s very pretty

[chicken_nugget24]

Loved her 🖤

[AdithyaR]

I liked her in You

[girlboss]
