She's okay, most of the time. But when she presented the oscar to Denzel Washington, she was so full of herself.

There is no reason that this SUPERB actress is so far down on the poll. Obviously all these voters don't appreciate good talent and they're just judging on...something else.

She's excellent. She seems to have same sort of parts but I can always count on her to have a very good movie.

TOTALLY OVERRATED

When I rate an actress, I rate them primarily for their acting ability. That being said, Julia Roberts is a good actress- attesting to her performances in 'Pretty Woman' and 'Erin Brockovich'. But what she has to realize is that no one cares about what she thinks politically. Roberts is paid to act- plain and simple. But she deserves 4 stars based on her acting ability (she can still get even better with time).

Great Actress. Will be renowned as one of the best of her generation. Just a note though. I don't care what your politics are, keep them to yourself. Politics will never advance an acting career, never.

one of the most overrated actresses of all time, has no talent at all

I think J.R. exemplifies everything currently wrong with American culture. In the old days, you had actors who were either terribly good-looking and/or sexy or were tremendously talented and versatile. Now you have overpaid mediocrities, not particularly attractive or talented, who play the same trite, superficial cute role in every movie they're in and, depressing to say but true, they're never begging for work. In the old days, you had Cagney or Hepburn or Davis. Now you've got Julia Roberts. It's depressing to contemplate how banal movies in America have become.

Very much overrated. Ever notice how she looks like a gator-mouth?? She is hit and miss in movies. I would definitely let her give a hand job but that is where I would say that's enough.

Good movies, She's all right

Julia Roberts is a good actress, but she only gets a 3 with me right now. She's talented, and is obviously devoted to her work.

Wow she looks wonderful. I just found a wonderful hot picture gallery of julia www.celebunlimited.com/gallery/Julia_Roberts/

she is the most overrated actress i have ever watched. no depth to her acting.....just awful. she is pretty but that's about it.

She's human debris. She should go back and graduate from high school and then possibly study political science prior to making uninformed statements.

I am so tired of her uninforned political statementts that I won't go to her movies anymore. She's an average actress and a moronic political commentator.

Julia Roberts is the media darling and Hollywood's elite call her America's Sweetheart, but to the ticket buying public shes just simply overrated. Don't get me wrong, shes done some good work in Steel Magnolia's, Pretty Woman and Erin Brokovich, but guaranteed eight times out of ten her movies don't live up to the reputation she percieves. It makes you wonder how powerful the media and Hollywood is to allow a woman whose not even as talented as some of her peers but still somehow manages to be the highest earning actress in the industry.

I can't stand this woman & I can't sit through any movie she's in. That annoying laugh, that giant toothy mouth & that skeletor face. She sucks! (I'll take a Melanie Griffith flick any day over this goofball's swill).

Julia Roberts is a good actress but I really think that she is way overrated. She earns $20m every movie but only a few of them are worth watching. She is a pretty woman but certainly not America's Sweetheart. Meg Ryan bears the title already.

Overrated horse-faced bitch! She was good as Erin Brockovich, but not much else.

dfrom a purely sexist shallow point of view....last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it....

To me she has to be the one of the ugliest actresses ever. She has a mouth that put Mr. Ed to shame.

You mean the the Queen of Hollywood ins't at the #1 position? She is good in movies but she acts the same in all of them. She never changes characters.

She doesn't make the kinds of movies I would pay to see. Mostly her's are all boy meets girl in awkward situation, fall in love, out of love, then back in love again. I have never, ever, ever understood what part part of her is considered beautiful, or even pretty. She's funny looking if you ask me. Did you ever see the REAL Erin Brokovich? Now the real Erin is an absolute beauty - why in heaven's name did they pick Roberts to play the role? She's another one of those American phenomenon's that owes everything to her publicist, cause I don't know what else she got going on that generates appeal.

Horse face is HIGHLY overrated. Sucks as an actress. Does the same schtick in every single movie as in walks in on the guy in the shower by accident and then goes into the phony Oh my God I am so embarrassed squeal. Not real and not believable. She nis the worst kind of communist in that she in not that bright and is uninformed. America's sweetheart because she played a friccking whore? Give me a break. She is one of the most irritating personalities going today!!!

By her hateful political statements, I guess she doesn't want Republicans to pay to see her movies. My husband is a Republican and I'm an Independent. I am not going to pay good money to see her movies, when she insults my husband.

I admit to being one of those people who just doesn't get it. I think she's awful as an actress.

never could understand her appeal as America's Sweetheart as what's sweet about her? Has a huge mouth and awful figure and the phoniest laugh ever. Her brother Eric is much more talented. A mediocre actress but her pictures sell and make money or Hollywood would never keep her as they worship the God of Money. Have enjoyed reading all the other comments about her as I hadno idea so many people agreed with me. I'd give her marriage - oh, maybe another 3 months?

The most overrated actress in Hollywood.

I used to rate her, back when she first appeared in my teenage years as pretty woman etc. But as the years have gone by she seems to have morphed into a sour old crabapple. The characters she plays are all complicated, highly strung woman that never seem to have anything positive that they can see in their joyless lives, and she seems to stalk through her movies shaking her hands and her overly styled hair, while the attidude of ok so I know I'm beautiful and overpaid, lets get it over with already, even though everyone knows I'm too good for my leading man oozes from every pore. She appears to be living off past glories, ie her 90s rep as a hottie. But really, there's only so far you can go on looking like you've sucked on a lemon! Also her rep as a man-eater does her no favours. She needs to lighten up, take a role that pokes fun at her serious image and get back in the running again.

Some of you people are saying that she's a bad actress? What if you wher her and someone just like you were making rud comments on how bad you were and looked? I think she's a great actress. DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE BY THERE LOOKS WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM.

Does she ever even act in her movies? It seems she is Julia Roberts in every part. She isnt good or bad, just there.

Not a great actress but does a creditable job when cast alongside other stars who would never consent to being treated like cardboard characters that serve as foils. Good in Ocean's 11 (look at the male cast!) but in no way Oscar-worthy in Brockovich. They're called breasts. Oh, PLEASE...

She is totally over-rated. I cannot figure out people who LOOOOVE Pretty Woman . It is a movie about a PROSTITUTE, folks!

Her attitude stinks, as shown at the 2001 Oscars when she went to accept the award for 'Erin Brocovitch'. As for a being a beauty, give me a break. She can look pretty minging when all the make-up's been removed. Got a mouth the size of the San Andreas fault.

Not much of an actress--She's overrated. Her politics are a bit extreme. Not too bad looking.

Overrated to the hilt. Cannot act, and is very snotty. I never liked her, and still really don't. I will give her credit for Erin Brocovich, which is the only good movie she has starred in to date. But other than that, bleah. Don't recommend her. And come on now, she isn't that pretty. Now her brother, Eric Roberts, that is one sexy guy...:)

I think Julia Roberts is a good actress, but her personal life (stealing someone's husband) and her politics are enough to make me not see any more of her movies.

Julia Roberts is SO overrated. She's got all this PR selling her. Julia Roberts - How does she do it?? She's got people doing it for her. I'd be all smiles and look great too if I made all the money shamelessly playing the same roles. But really...does anyone remember her more serious roles in the mid-90's? Doubtful. She was forgotten after that. And then came My Best Friend's Wedding where she had to look like she did in Pretty Woman. (Rupert Everett stole the movie anyway.) I've always considered her to look mousy with a big horse mouth. THANK GOD she did not take the role in Shakespeare in Love. I cring when I hear critics say that she would have been terrific in that movie!???? GASP

Another Great actress and Person and I would like to meet and chat with her.

Julia Roberts is ok. I think she was great in Pretty Woman.

Overrated. People say she has a nice smile; looks like just an oversized mouth to me.

Julia Roberts is the worst actress to ever win an oscar, and she only won because she is overrated and overexposed. She isnt an actress, she is a movie-star, she is terribly untalented horrible looking. i hope she just goes away and we never have to hear from her again.

great

I have made only one serious stipulation in my marriage and that stipulation is that I will never, ever, pay for, or sit through a Julia Slob-erts movie. Suffice to say that I would rather be dragged over broken glass, and then doused with salt and alcohol, and then set afire rather than endure this wretched actress’s thespian efforts on the silver screen or in any other media format.

I detest anybody that believes her own press. She's an okay actress, and not extremely attractive. Even her "natural" look seems to include a lot of makeup. Why?

Can anyone say BIG LIPS!

Possibly the single most overrated actor of the modern era. She overacts, is unattractive and almost believes what the media says about her. Besides, look at that mouth!!! Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it!

I use to really like her, but once I heard her open her mouth and put down others, like her co-stars and call them names, how can you respect that. Plus she was just a joke and so phony at the Oscars when Denzel got his award. You would of thought she had won it also, hogging the attention. No class at all. It's pretty pathetic that she represents the A list in Hollywood, maybe the A should stand for "Awful".

She must be a great actress; she's convinced people that she's America's Sweetheart when she's nothing short of a nasty, self-centered, insecure woman. You're gonna tell me she's a better actress than Laura Linney? And just because you CAN steal somebody's husband doesn't mean you should. I can't wait to see what she looks like at 50.

I don't know why, but I really don't like her. I loved Pretty Woman and don't knock her acting skills, but maybe it's her face mixed with her interviews that really bother me. I can't tell you why, but I don't like her.
