Gal Gadot's Acting Under Fire: Declared 'Worst Actress of All Time'?

Gal Gadot's 2021 film Red Notice is about to lose its spot as the most watched Netflix movie of all time

Gal Gadot's Acting Career on the Brink: Netflix Sensation Kpop Demon Hunters Set to Dethrone Red Notice

The acting prowess of Gal Gadot, once hailed as a Wonder Woman and box office darling, is facing a harsh reality check this year. The 40-year-old actress has been bombarded with scathing criticism from moviegoers who have branded her one of the worst actresses in Hollywood history. But that's not all – it appears that she may soon lose another major accolade, as her Netflix film Red Notice is on track to be surpassed by an animated musical sensation.

Kpop Demon Hunters: The Unlikely Threat

The movie is now on track to be surpassed by the wildly popular Kpop Demon Hunters

Gadot's 2021 spy thriller Red Notice has been the most-watched Netflix film of all time, but that title is about to be snatched from her. According to Deadline, Kpop Demon Hunters, a recent release on the platform, is gaining momentum and will soon surpass Red Notice in viewership. The animated musical has become an overnight sensation since its release last month, captivating audiences with its catchy tunes and mesmerizing visuals.

The Backlash Against Gadot's Acting Ability

A string of videos highlighting her acting "skills" have gone viral on social media, amassing millions of views. Watch Mojo's scathing video, "Gal Gadot's Worst Line Deliveries," has racked up an astonishing 1.6 million views on YouTube. Another clip from Film Cooper, "Gal Gadot is the Worst Actress of All Time," boasts a similar view count, further fueling the criticism against the actress.

Gadot's Response to Criticism: A Case of Damage Control

In recent weeks, Gadot has faced scrutiny for her comments about anti-Israel sentiment being behind the box office failure of her Snow White remake. In an interview with The A Talks, she stated that those who criticized Israel personally targeted her as an Israeli, rather than evaluating her performance as an actress.

Gadot later took to Instagram to clarify her statements, asserting that her response was driven by emotion and a sense of personal attack. However, many have interpreted her comments as dismissive of the film's poor reception, which was largely attributed to its own shortcomings rather than external pressures.

The Struggle is Real: Gadot's Post-Wonder Woman Career

Gadot first burst onto the acting scene in 2009's Fast & Furious franchise, playing Gisele Yashar. However, it wasn't until her breakout role as Wonder Woman in 2017 that she became a household name. Unfortunately, her subsequent film, Wonder Woman 1984, tanked at the box office, marking a turning point in her career.

Since then, Gadot has struggled to land another major hit outside of Red Notice and her Netflix Covid-era success. With Kpop Demon Hunters on the verge of dethroning Red Notice, it remains to be seen whether she can regain her A-list status or face an even more daunting reality: being relegated to B-movies and cult following.

The Verdict is Out: Has Gadot's Acting Ability Finally Caught Up with Her?

As the dust settles on Kpop Demon Hunters' impending title win, one thing is clear – Gal Gadot's acting ability has been under intense scrutiny this year. Love her or hate her, one cannot deny that she has faced an unprecedented backlash from critics and moviegoers alike.

Whether or not you agree with the harsh assessments of her acting "skills," it's undeniable that Kpop Demon Hunters' success marks a significant shift in the entertainment landscape. Will Gadot take this as a wake-up call to reevaluate her craft, or will she continue to ride the coattails of her past successes? Only time (and box office numbers) will tell.
