Halle Berry proves she hasn’t lost any of her sparkle in the action-comedy The Union, which is currently the most-watched movie on Netflix. The American actor’s well-deserved return to the limelight was awarded an Oscar for In the Shadow of Hate, a prison-world drama about a passionate but also toxic relationship.
His best film is not the one for which he won an Oscar
Halle Berry’s performance in this Marc Foster feature received critical acclaim, although it is not her best-rated film according to Internet users AlloCiné. With a honestly average rating of just 3.2 out of 5, Shadow of Hate is far superior to the 2014 superhero movie.
Although she does not play the main role, X-Men Days of Future Past is the highest rated film in Halle Berry’s filmography (average 4.1 out of 5, based on 38477 Internet user ratings). The peculiarity of this seventh installment of the X-Men saga is the union of different generations of mutant superheroes.
Thus, the performers of the first opus of the saga – represented by the first X-Men, in which Halle Berry already appeared as Tornado – will cross paths with the younger heroes of the prequels, introduced in the film X-Men: The Beginning. This unusual crossover also sees Omar Sy lend his traits to the Mutant Bishop, his only appearance in the saga to date.
Halle Berry also starred in the worst superhero movie ever!
X-Men: Days of Future Past also marks Halle Berry’s final appearance in the superhero franchise. The role of Storm from the next part – X-Men Apocalypse – was assigned to the younger actress Alexandra Shipp, due to the fact that the prequels take place several decades before the plot of the previous X-Men films.
While starring in one of the best superhero movies ever, Halle Berry also has the distinction of being in the worst! Her performance in Catwoman (rated just 1.3 out of 5) earned her a 2005 Razzie Award for Worst Actress. Fair play, the latter took the stage to accept the prize and give a powerful speech about life lessons.
X-Men Days of Future Past is now available on Disney+. Catwoman can be seen on the Max platform.
