It's kind or irrelevant to me.

Even if she gives an Oscar-winning performance, I'm not going to be focusing entirely on her acting.

But she's not bad. I thought she was pretty decent in Sin City, and she wasn't as bad as Paul Walker in, um, that film with the water and the treasure. I can't remember what it was called. It was that good.

No, I don't think she can act.

I also don't think it's a lack of determination or anything. I think a lot of people confuse the desire to act with the talent to act. Jessica Alba does not have the talent.

That's a very interesting point Miriel.

Seeing as I've only seen her in an episode of "Entourage" where she was essentially playing herself, and I believed that she was indeed Jessica Alba, I'll need to see more of her work before I can give a good opinion.

Take care all.

don't know...sometimes it's hard for me to recognize poor acting skill, sometimes it's very plain for me to see....thinking about jessica alba doesn't send up a warning flag of bad acting in my mind...but that's probably because all of her performances are pretty much forgetable, like in the case of sin city where the rest of the film was so well-executed that i didn't care, or in a movie like idle hands or fantastic four, where the movie was so bad that bad acting is either expected or i was already numbed by the crappiness of what i was watching.

I think she has abs worth the envy of everybody and is indeed gorgeous - but no, I don't think can act. I don't even think she takes herself seriously as an "actor". Her roles certainly don't represent any talent she may have for acting.

I like Dark Angel

Ok she's not brilliant but her part at that serial was good... I haven't seen her on the other films!
