Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning with the likes of Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Shirley Temple? lol; unreal I'm young and even I know this girl is not in the top 10 let alone top 5. Too many young Americans are clueless in history. Her performances are loud, annoying, and always the same. very overrated. The spastic child routine she does is just not good.

i absolutly love dakota fanning. i think its a shame for people who dont like her and give her a negative review! a whole lot of those people are just jealous because they never got their face put on tv. my favorite movie with her is cat in the hat.she did an awesome job. ily dakota fanning!

Never liked her much

I absolutely hated her when she was little, so creepy and not as good as everyone was saying. Much better now and I'm looking forward to seeing her in Runaways.

Better now than when she was little. Back then I couldnt understand what it was about her that drove everyone crazy, but she was great in The Secret Life of Bees

I personally thinks she's BEASTLY!!!! I am in theater and have taken a number of acting classes. I'm not f-ing amazing but I have enough experience to know what is talent and what is not and what this little girl has is talent! Oh yeah, and for a lot of you, I bet you've never even seen any of her movies to begin with. And have you people seen her list of films?! If she sucked, she would be able to land the number of roles that she has! An another thing that I've learned from personal experiences is that the better you are, the more likely you are to be insulted. So all of you are bashing on Dakota; get a life and Dakota if you're reading this; just keep rockin' aside from what others say because thats what true stars do :-)

Dakota, from a young age, has been a TREMENDOUS actress. How many actresses out there can show the raw depth that this girl has. Fear, "Man on fire", wondering if she's a mental case, "Hide and Seek", to the joy of being a child "Charlotte's web". I truly think this girl, on the verge of being a woman, is going to truly go down in history as one of the best! And now her sister is getting on the scene too, should be fun to see if both of these girls will get to act in the same movie :)

Dakota Fanning is one of those young actresses who has an occasional good flick. The only good acting I've seen her do was in "Trapped" and "Man On Fire". With those two as the only exceptions, she is not impressive. But let's clarify what "good acting" is, shall we? I believe that a good actor will cause me to forget that they are acting. They will put themselves in their character's situation and convince themselves that what they are experiencing is reality. Now this is coming from a professional actor, just so you know. In my opinion, Dakota either overacts, or underacts. She can't seem to find the perfect medium that is needed. When watching her act, I never feel like I'm watching real emotion.

Very intelligent, also gives great performances, and is also versatile.

The most everrated chid actress of all time. All she does is stare!

o.m.g i was reading an article on her and it turns out she was born on the same day as me and the same year omg thats cool

When I first saw Dakota in Man on Fire, I was sheer awe struck at her ability to bring out such emotion on screen. I completely broke down at the end of that movie. As an actor, she has an amazing sense of the roles she plays and the ability to become her character on screen. I went on to see Hide and Seek, where her performance was astounding and right up there with Deniro. Seeing her in I am Sam was one of the greatest joys and I feel she completely deserved the screen actors guild award (which she won for her performance in that movie at the age of 7). Dreamer was truly one of the most touching family movies I have ever seen and am not surprised that the director replaced a boy role with Dakota Fanning. I then saw Uptown Girls and was actually touched very deeply by it. Dakota role was essential to have a realistic performance in that film and I felt she captured her character completely. Plus it was adorable watching her in that role. At the end of War of the Worlds it is not Tom C... Read more

I didn't like this kid on jay leno, and I think the idea of her appearing in a rape scene is appalling.

Dont like her style at all

I don't understand how she does it...Incredible!!

greatest acting I've seen in my days

Her performances are always very believable.

I loved man on fire

shes the best adn i love here...pretty,young and talented...

Dakota fanning is the best actress ever!!! i am older than her and she is my role model!! i just think she is amazing! Kayl

shes amazing better than most of hollywoods grown actors and actresses

dakota is great

AWESOME ACTRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dakota i think is the greatist Child actress of this time and i hope she wil continue to act.

SHE IS THE MOST LOVELY JOUNG ACTOR WE HAVE EVER SEEN i RATE HER 5

Hell yeah this kid rocks! shes THE best!

dakota is amazing

I give her a 5, but I have a question is her mother or father movies as well

shes good

superb ... she is going to be untouchable in about ten years.

And some day she will grow into a fine adult actress. I have enjoyed all her movies so far.

I have never seen such a talented girl ever!

One of the best child actresses I have ever seen. Obviously very intelligent and mature beyond her years as well.

She is one of the best young actors/actresses to come around in awhile. I just hope as she grows up she doesn't join the ranks of the hasbeens or that life doesn't get the best of her.

i think dakota fanning is a great actress for her young age...she is adorable

all she does is opens her eyes wide and stares. how is that good acting?

Dakota Fanning is a wonderful actress anyone who wrote such awful stuff about her has to be jealous she can act better than most adults. being in a movie is alot of work alot of discipline and devotion alot of adults cant do what she does and deliver there lines as well as she does. put yourself in her shoes and see how hard it is and then tell me she is overated i believe she is underated and i hope she gets the roles and respect she deserves

I think she's a good actress, but I can't help but get the feeling that in a few years people are going to wonder whatever happened to her. Either that or she'll be he next Lindsey Lohan. No offense Dakota.

Destined to appear on "Whatever Happened To..." in 10 years.

Some of you say she has no talent. Okay, so you think you could probally go and act as good as her in a movie? I'm sorry but that's just rude! You could of said "My opinion is shes not that good of an actress." OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I think Dakota has got so much talent! She's awsome!

I love Dakota Fanning! She was wonderful in I AM SAM! She can display so many complex emotions and I think she will be very successful in life-she already is! I give her 5 stars. She is also so adorable

She is very funny and incredible smart too.

This little girl has such incredible talent and looking at her list of Hollywood's alist costars only proves it- Robert Deniro, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, Reese Witherspoon. She has enormous depth in somebody so young, obviously a delightful and precocious actress. I hope her success continues as she ages.

Dakota Fanning is an amazing actress, for being at such a young age. She protrays very many different emotions perfectly at the drop of a hat. She's very convincing, and her performance in War of the Worlds, won me over.

Dakota Fanning rocks my socks so much they fall of!

What are all of you on about?Cosidering Dakota's age she's fantastic.And if you watch carefully she deserves to become one of the top child actress.She's the same asge me too,and a great inspiration.

she stinks!!!!
