Forbes released its list of the “Hollywood’s Highest Paid Actors” of 2014 this week.
Let’s end the suspense: The actors, from highest paid on down, are Robert Downey Jr., Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. “The Rock,” Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Hemsworth, Liam Neeson, Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg.
But this story is not about the wealth amassed by the stars of, respectively, “Iron Man,” “Pain & Gain,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “Thor,” “Schindler’s List,” “Argo,” “Batman,” “I, Robot” and “Boogie Nights.”

It is, instead, about the terrible, horrible, no good, really bad films made by those highest-paid actors.
The films spotlighted below are among the lowest ranked by critics starring, respectively, Mssrs. Downey Jr., Johnson, Cooper, DiCaprio, Hemsworth, Neeson, Affleck, Bale, Smith and Wahlberg on the Web site RottenTomatoes.
