The personality of the actor always outweighs the role they play in movies for me. I love the original Mission Impossible as a kid, but that was destroyed when the story was appropriated by scientology.
No matter how “good” a character is in the movies, it’s ruined by knowing the person playing that character is a complete douche.
The problem for me is not what it seems though. I love good movies and part of that experience is complete and total immersion in the quality of the filming, acting, visual effects, sound and storyline. It’s almost a hypnotic state and it doesn’t take much for me to get distracted and a complete jackass of an actor is a distraction.

Is that how it works for you? The Thriller album is still a bop for me but I’d never call it an uncomplicated enjoyment. Just an example.
